Bavo’s background

Originally from Limburg, Bavo moved to Leuven to study physiotherapy and has since built a deep connection with the city. Today he works as a comprehensive Pilates teacher, gym trainer and physiotherapist, with a focus on chronic pain and hyperventilation.

Why he does what he does

Bavo is passionate about movement and about helping people feel at home in their own bodies. His own experience with chronic pain taught him the value of patience, good guidance and a step by step approach. He combines Pilates, strength training and physiotherapy to give clients practical tools they can use themselves, so they stay actively involved in their own progress.

Bavo’s down time

A devoted music enthusiast, Bavo fills his free time with all things musical. Whether swing dancing, playing guitar, attending festivals, or attempting to sing, his love for rhythm and melody shines through. Beyond music, he prioritizes exercise, cooking, and meditation as ways to keep his body and mind healthy and balanced.
