Our Personal Trainers

Kasper Vinther
Personal Trainer & Physiotherapist

Kasper is the type of trainer who never stops learning. He is curious by nature, immerses himself in research and is always looking for what can make training better — but that curiosity always ends up becoming something practical and useful for the person in front of him. He is calm, attentive and meets you where you are. The expertise he has built over many years he uses for one thing: to make your training simpler and more effective.

Lucas Iversen
Personal Trainer & Physiotherapist

Lucas has 14 years of experience as a personal trainer and 9 years as a physiotherapist. He has helped hundreds of clients rebuild after injuries, get stronger and create habits that last. His philosophy is simple: training should fit into your life. It is not about perfection. It is about showing up consistently. Calm, thoughtful and evidence-based — he meets you where you are and builds from there.

Mikkel Krause
Personal Trainer & Physiotherapist

Mikkel is the type of trainer who takes his time. Time to listen. Time to understand. Time to make sure the training actually fits you. He is calm, present and attentive — and his clients feel that from the very first session. His communication is precise and down to earth — you always know what is happening, what you need to do next and why it makes sense. He knows that for many people it isn't a lack of knowledge that stops them. It's often just getting started.

Mathias Busk
Personal Trainer & Physiotherapist

Mathias is calm, precise and creates an atmosphere where you can focus fully on what matters and let go of everything that doesn't. His presence is steady from the very first session — he quickly identifies what is important for you, cuts away the rest and communicates it in a way that makes sense. He is evidence-based in everything he does, but data is never a goal in itself for him. It is a tool for helping you move forward.

Simon Petersen
Personal Trainer & Physiotherapist

Simon is the type of trainer who makes it easy to show up. His energy is contagious, his mood is stable, and he creates an environment where you always feel comfortable — whether it's your first session or your hundredth. He is cheerful, present and down to earth, and his clients feel that from the moment they walk through the door. He believes training shouldn't feel draining. His goal with every single session is simple: that you leave feeling better than when you arrived.

We use strength training as our form of physiotherapy—to create positive adaptations in your body, shift your mindset, and help you understand pain differently. Our educational background gives us a perspective beyond what most trainers have. We see not just the mechanics, but the entire human behind the movement. We consider your life outside the gym, your goals, your challenges, and what truly matters to you.
This lets us make precise adjustments today while keeping the long game in focus. We know when a small change prevents a problem months from now. We understand when to push, when to pull back, and how to keep you progressing without overwhelming you. Every decision is made with both your immediate session and your long-term success in mind. We adjust the details while never losing sight of where you're headed.
Between us, we've coached thousands—from complete beginners to professional athletes—and mentored physiotherapists and trainers across Denmark and internationally. We've spent years studying how bodies adapt and get stronger, and how the mental side matters just as much as the physical.
When you train with us, you're working with professionals who see the complete picture and make the process smooth and sustainable.

Clear Answers About Our Personal Trainers

Who we are, how we work, and what makes our personal trainers different — here are answers to the most important questions about the people helping you with your training.
Getting Started

How is personal training at Nordic Performance Training different from other gyms?

We're not just a place to train — we're a complete system that ensures progress. You train at fixed times with your personal trainer in private surroundings without distractions. Every session is tracked, adjusted, and brings you closer to your goals.

Getting Started

What does a personal trainer actually do?

Your personal trainer handles everything — planning, technique, motivation, and follow-up. You train safely and efficiently, without having to figure it out yourself.

Getting Started

How qualified are the personal trainers at Nordic Performance Training?

All our personal trainers are specialists in strength training with backgrounds in physiotherapy or other healthcare areas. You get your fixed trainer who understands your goals, your situation, and your needs.

Getting Started

Will I always have the same personal trainer?

Yes — you train with the same trainer each week, so you build trust, structure, and stable progress over time. It creates continuity, and your trainer gets to know you and your body.

Getting Started

How do I choose my personal trainer?

You speak directly with one of our owners, who matches you with the trainer that best fits your calendar and needs. All trainers work from the same system and quality level, so you get the same professional experience regardless of who you train with.

Getting Started

Do your personal trainers have experience with injuries or rehab?

Yes. All our personal trainers are also educated physiotherapists and have extensive experience helping clients rebuild after injury, manage pain, or regain strength after surgery. Every program is always adapted to your situation and goals.

Getting Started

Is it possible to train in English?

Yes — all communication, coaching, and app content is available in English. We work with many international clients in Copenhagen.

Getting Started

Should I get a personal trainer or do it myself?

If you want real, lasting results, a personal trainer is an investment that can pay off. You avoid trial and error, train smarter, and stick with it — with a program built specifically for your goals and lifestyle.
