About José
José Fernando Miguel was born in Angola and grew up in Haarlem. He has been involved in elite sport since the age of thirteen, in an environment centred on discipline, performance and mental strength. That experience shaped him and taught him the importance of personal guidance, structure and trust during a transformation.
With a bachelor's degree from Johan Cruyff University and a professional and semi-professional football career—including time in the United States combining football with further study and development—José has built years of experience in elite sport and performance.
He now brings that background to Fundamentals, helping people become stronger, fitter and more energetic through structure, enjoyment and consistency.
José's training style
José combines structured hypertrophy training with conditioning and HYROX-inspired elements. First, build a strong foundation in strength and technique; then challenge your body with intensity, fitness and functional movement.
His sessions are energetic, motivating and varied. You train seriously, but there is also plenty of room for enjoyment and a positive atmosphere. José enjoys encouraging people to take another step forward in a way that feels challenging without becoming overwhelming.
José's ideal client
José suits almost anyone who wants to get fitter and enjoys an active, energetic training style. You certainly do not have to be an elite athlete, but being open to different forms of movement helps.
That means not only strength training, but also occasional running, jumping, conditioning and working up a sweat. You do not have to love cardio, but it helps not to be afraid of it.
José enjoys working with people who want to become stronger, gain energy and build all-round fitness for daily life.
