About the coach

willem van zanten personal trainer at functional fitness eltham

Hi there,



My name is Willem, but I usually get called Bear because I have two modes: a teddy bear or a grizzly bear.

Getting to know me is easy – I have a serious passion for all-things movement, and the ability to change myself through exposure. This last passion has a funny story to it.

Back in the day I was obsessed with Runescape (a videogame). Runescape is all about leveling-up skills like woodcutting or archery, doing quests and getting better equipment. What made it so attractive to me was the impact I could have on the outcome – that I could put in effort, and get results. 

Around the age of 16 I realized that life was very much like Runescape. I realized that I could make myself stronger, fitter, faster and cleverer through directed effort. What’s so fascinating about looking at life this way is that it really reinforces this sense of agency, which in turn helps me overcome feelings of helplessness (depression, anxiety and so forth) 

Fast-forward to 2024, I can honestly say that I’m living my dream. I now get to share this passion for self-improvement with my community and make a living off of it. 

Now, there’s more I can share about mself and my history, but I won’t – not at this stage. It’s first about you and how you and I can move forward together. If you want to know more about me, you’re going to have to ask me face-to-face

Speak soon!
