I am Allan Schlesinger, a certified Personal Trainer currently working as a group training coach and personal trainer in Helsinki, Finland. Born in Chile, I have lived in 8 countries spanning 3 continents, so I am no stranger to international environments and diverse cultures. Prior to starting my training career more than a year ago, I held various Quality Management related positions in several multinational companies. I enjoy keeping active, and the proof in that is in my own continuous and evolving fitness journey which began about 9 years ago. My aim has always been to maintain a lean look, but also to feel good and make sure I can move well. What has helped me achieve this so far is to incorporate varied exercise methodologies within my training, which is something that I aim to pass on to my clients. To me, good results hinge on variety, consistency and communication (what works, what doesn’t, etc), and that’s what we will work on.

I enjoy bringing my creativity to all settings and thrive when working collaboratively with clients to learn about their lives, needs and wants. I am also very passionate about being able to give useful tips, tricks and other bits of information to ensure that, in the long-run, my clients learn something that they can apply with or without me. I truly believe in the power of relationship building and see myself as an active listener. I’ll ask questions not only about how the workouts are feeling, but also about you because I believe that the mental and physical go hand in hand.

One thing that makes Personal Training such a fulfilling career for me is that, deep within I have always had a passion for helping people, and Personal Training, I think, is the best way to do it. What better than to get to know clients from all walks of life, understand their goals, and work together to achieve them? Not only that, but also witness the progress and positive changes along the way? Nothing is better.
