About me

Who am I?

I am Jouni Ilonen, and my passion is dance and coaching. I am a personal trainer and group fitness instructor with over 10 years of experience in the field. Dance has been my life partner for over 20 years, and I have competed in ballet and ballroom dance. Nowadays, I also work as an independent Herbalife retailer & sport masseur, helping people improve their well-being and live healthier lives.

My Specialization

My specialty is coaching dancers and those interested in dance. I help you train effectively and technically correctly, whether you are at the gym, in a dance studio, or at home. I provide support in nutrition and mental well-being—without any gimmicks.

Who is Coaching For?

My coaching is aimed at anyone who wants to discover the joy of movement. Particularly dancers and dance enthusiasts will find their place here. I also assist with lifestyle changes, weight management, muscle gain, and increasing strength.

My Approach

My goal is to help you achieve a strong and flexible body. I utilize various techniques to ensure you get the most out of my coaching. My approach is demanding yet motivating, and I believe in the importance of humor and joy in coaching. Whether it's an individual or group session, I use both in-person and remote connections with our goal in mind.

I will customize a personal training and nutrition program for you that supports your goals—whether it's weight management, lifestyle change, or sport-specific training. Coaching is suitable for you if you want to learn the basics of gym training and develop your skills.

An Inspiring Journey

I offer you tailored, high-quality, and inspiring workouts, whether you are a beginner or an experienced pro. I want to support you on your journey towards better well-being and help you achieve your dreams. Everyone has the right to find the joy of movement on their own terms. Let's make exercise fun and unforgettable together!
