Let us introduce ourselves for the ones coming here, perhaps exploring the opportunities to work-out on Ibiza. Perhaps while you’re on holiday, perhaps while living here on this beautiful island.
We are Tim (38 years old) and Ellen (40 years old). After years of dreaming, we’ve decided follow our dream and to leave our homecountry The Netherlands. An exciting change, and obviously, a change of which we don’t know how the outcome will be. But that didn’t stop us to actually make the change and experience the outcome ourselves.
And now, august 1st 2025, here we are…
Who are we?
Here we are, Tim & Ellen van der Laan. A Dutch couple with a 7 year old son, Mees.
Tim is an Holistic Sports Coach nowadays. In the past he had a different life though. He used to work in media for about 10 years. Then he decided to quit his job and follow his heart more in the things he want to do in life. In the Netherlands he decided to start Bootcamp Coach. Now he guides people towards a more healthy lifestyle and he does this through sports. He teaches Running (courses), Bootcamp and Personal Training, to improve your physical body. To help you grow on other levels as well, he coaches people on a more emotional, mental & spiritual level.
Ellen aka El-Kettlebell is an instructor as well. She loves to give it all during a work-out and pushes people to give their best. Besides work-outs, she also gives Yoga Nidra sessions. She is always in for a nice chat and giving is her second nature. You will love her energy when you’ll have a work-out with her.
Ellen is caring, friendly & strict (in training)
Hi I am Ellen aka El kettlebell!
Previously I used to work at personal lifestyle gym in the Netherlands, providing personal training and group lessons such as kettlebell training and circuit-training.
I love the energy in the gym or in group lessons, just as I love to motivate people and explain them why they do what they do. I’m good at making customized schedules. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, I know how to challenge you. I like to make clients just as enthusiastic about strength training as I am and I love to show you the benefits. Besides, i like increasing your knowledge about the body, way of training and how you can get into your strength.
I have experience in making people enjoy sports again after an injury. If you want to get to know me, be warned because my enthusiasm is contagious;) before you know it you are also into strength training!
Tim is relaxed, helpful and open
As a trainer, Tim isn’t the pushy type. He do wants to help people to get the most out of their work-out, and he will support that the best he can.
He believes that when we have fun together, results will follow. With the right knowledge in running, bootcamp & PT, he knows how to create programmes that is beneficial for everyone that is attending. Whether this is a 1 on 1 training, a duo-training or a (small) group, he will make sure everyone will finish their work-out satisfied, contented and tired.
Tim is dedicated, enjoying life to the fullest, and he wants to inspire others to get the most out of their lives as well. He can be serious from time to time and really looking for dept in a conversation, but he can also be pleasant, fun to hang out with and party with others.
Choose us as your trainer
Whether you choose Ellen or Tim to be your trainer, both of us are dedicated to help you grow to reach your goals. This can be pure physical growth, to get rid of those extra kilo’s you might be carrying. Or if you desire changes on other levels, such as mental, emotional or spiritual. Also for these layers we offer possibilities to work on as well.
Please feel free to reach out to us when you are on Ibiza and want to get acquainted.
