About Me
Hi there! I’m Coach Eik.
My purpose for existing is to grow better humans by inspiring and challenging myself and others both intellectually and physically.
I am an former elite athlete that learned it the hard way that more and more is not always better. And I know that bottomless feeling that everyone else seems to have it all together, be able to do way more than you can, improve faster, get stronger have nicer things and all that.
Today I coach, educate and seek to inspire. My mission is to empower more functional fitness enthusiast just like you through expert guidance and sustainable practices to achieve peak performance without having to join in on the the hustle culture.
I am extremely curious of the human body and behaviour, my forever ending journey to better myself in this field includes the following qualifications UAE REP´s qualified Personal Trainer, BSc. in Physiotherapy (Roskilde, 2014), a certified IAK Personal Trainer (Iceland, 2009) and a Precision Nutrition Certified Nutrition Coach, CrossFit Level 2 and CrossFit Gymnastics certified coach. And I am nowhere nearly done adding knowledge and qualifications.
My Big Five Values For Life are
Few Good Friends many acquaintances. Loyalty and safety with deep connection in personal relationships.
Always looking for ways to be more productive on my journey to achievements, knowledge and growth
Prioritise my Health, by practicing my fitness to continue growing and be prepared for adversity and future challenges.

I use these 5 values to help navigating my work life and help clients through the abundance of information out there by simplifying the foundations of Thriving Lifestyle and helping people to fall in love with training and healthier choices.
How Is It Different Working With Me As A Coach?
I have been working full time in some kind of coaching for 15 years. I have worked with clients ranging from disabilities and severe injuries to people who are looking to optimize their elite performance. I combine my knowledge as a Physiotherapist, Personal trainer, Nutritionist, Coach and Pro Athlete to understand both the needs and requirements of the person who wants to get back in shape after a set back or to improve the quality of life, as well as the elite athlete that is striving to maximise their results.
I see beyond the actual workout we do in each session. My secret talent and ingredients in COACHING is to help you dig deeper, to find your unique inspiration, and to start to enjoy the process of making smarter choices.
I thrive of the joy it brings to people when they find balance in their activities & habits and start to see how those are the investment on the road to live a long active, happy and healthy life.
Who Am I?
Personally I’m a girlfriend, sister, dog mom, a loyal friend and bit of an overachiever, and I have tried most habit changes, training regimes and protocols on my own body. Because I love to push my own boundaries and test out new ways to use my fitness.
This has lead me on many competitive adventures and journeys, where I have competed in BodyBuilding, done some endurance running couple of 10 km races and a few 1/2 Marathons and an ultra challenge of 100 km bike and 50 km run in one go. In addition to competing with my best friend (horse) in local competitions on Icelandic Horses.
Most recently I have competed in multiple international CrossFit competitions on the highest level including three appearances at the World Championships in Crossfit, The CrossFit Games (1 x Team 2016, 2 x Individual 2018/2019)
My next athletic goal is undecided, but I’m staying as fit as I find something I am super passionated about.
