ABOUT

My name is Nkongolo. I have a diversed background in sports, having played basketball and run track & field from a young age and having started bouldering, climbing and trail running in my 20s. I have work experience as a personal coach, in sales (multiple running stores) and giving presentations. I am an ISSA certified fitness trainer based in Brussels.

When I was young, I had the dream to make it in professional sports, but I failed. Potential, motivation and hard work were not what I missed. I have learned during the past 10 years  that talent does not guarantee you success. It took me years to realize that smart work would have been the game changer. Hard work will never surpass smart work.

It took a great trainer named Kate and a month of work with her to see my athletic abilities change drastically. What seemed impossible before, now came effortlessly. I became faster and increased my vertical jump by 5 inches with no sweat. Previously, I had followed many programs, but none of them was able to provide the desired results. Kate’s great impact in my life influenced my work ethic and approach to training. I became driven by the research of smart and efficient work. It takes time, constant studies and experimentation with different trainings to improve.

I want to offer people the opportunity to find the smartest training to reach their goal, whether that goal is high performance, better running technique, or overall fitness and health.

Why Choose Us?

Many coaches simply train the body but they do not emphasize on teaching and knowledge sharing. The lack of a proper understanding of the purpose of different exercises will have an impact on improvement and performances. Vi-Zion's work philosophy is based on knowledge sharing: Our objective is to empower clients to train increasingly autonomously and to gain a better understanding of their body. At the same time, Vi-Zion encourages clients to set ambitious goals together and will be by your side each step of the way to reach these goals in a team effort.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

Didier V.

In 1989, I was the victim of a serious accident. The accident caused lifelong disabilities with chronic pains difficult to bear. Nkongolo, thanks to his listening, his observation and his professionalism allowed me to do sports again: cardio, running, bodybuilding, … I went from almost total inactivity, to running the 20 km of Brussels and even a commando course. I am very grateful to him, especially for his human side.

Deeply thank you, Didier

Nelson M.

Nkongolo’s coaching really provides a great experience. I had the opportunity to work on my explosivity and my power in a safe and efficient way, which is very important for a basketball player.

I was also coached by Nkongolo with my wife, so he allowed us to play sports as a couple in a fun atmosphere, without losing the challenge, efficiency and safety. We both made great progress and had a great time.

Patrick V.

I was the sponsor of the first fitness club in our work environment at ExxonMobil in Diegem. Nkongolo was one of the main fitness trainers. What always struck me was his personalised approach ( each member was important ánd different ) and his attention for overall well-being, not just fitness. I know that many employees scheduled their visit to the fitness club when Nkongolo was there. I wish him all the best in his new endeavours !

“I have been fortunate enough to meet Nkongolo at my work place gym from April 2018 to March 2020, and what a motivator he is! 🙌💪
Nkongolo is generous with his time and knowledge, always willing to help and clearly radiates positive energy as he pursues his passion of sports coaching.
What stroke me the most was his focus on technique, ensuring my time and energy at the gym were not going to waste. He is also fun to work out with, and is never short of interesting stories 😃”
