Welcome to your personal coaching plan! Let's start with an intake interview to explore your goals and time management. Based on this conversation, we will propose an approach in which you can choose the training strategy that suits you best.
You can opt for one-on-one coaching with a Personal Trainer or get started with a personalized training schedule that we will monitor and adjust together.
To support you, we collaborate with professionals who hold a Master’s degree in Exercise and Sports Sciences, ensuring that your personal plan is scientifically grounded and tailored to your capabilities and goals.

ABOUT US
Vertical Horizons was founded by Sofie Lenaerts and Stef Maginelle , two experienced mountaineers with over 20 years of expertise, who want to share their passion for sharing knowledge.
Sofie Lenaerts is the first woman from the Benelux to have climbed the " 7 Summits " and has been leading mountain expeditions worldwide for 10 years, including in the VRT1 program "De Rugzak."
Stef Maginelle , a physiotherapist with a group practice in Kampenhout, enjoys seeking challenges in ultra trails and the mountains. He is the first Belgian to climb two mountains over 8,000 meters during an expedition without supplemental oxygen.
Every year, they go in search of new adventures to share with like-minded individuals. Whether it involves a trail run, trek, or climb, for both beginners and experienced adventurers, every challenge offers opportunities to discover and push boundaries.
