Seddik Badaoui: about Seddik

Seddik is an authority on muscle development, strength training and nutrition. His calm, direct and approachable coaching helps people become stronger, fitter and more confident without unnecessary complexity.

Seddik lives in IJmuiden with his wife and daughter. Around ten years ago, he moved from Algeria to the Netherlands for love. His own passion for strength training developed into a coaching career with extensive practical experience in hypertrophy, nutritional guidance and lasting lifestyle change. For Seddik, training is not about ego or superficial fitness trends. He believes in a sound approach built on structured training, hard work, good nutrition and consistency. His goal is to make people physically stronger and also independent and confident in the gym.

Seddik's training style
Seddik combines a straightforward approach with a warm personality. He may look serious and intense at first, but beneath that exterior is a gentle person who truly cares about those he coaches.

He challenges you, encourages you to push your limits and expects commitment. At the same time, he makes you feel welcome and safe, whatever your level or experience.

His coaching focuses on:

  • Muscle development and hypertrophy.
  • Becoming stronger physically and mentally.
  • Fat loss while preserving muscle.
  • Nutrition and lifestyle guidance.
  • Learning correct training technique.
  • Learning to train independently in the gym.

His ideal client
Seddik's ideal client is aged 20–50, motivated and ready to invest in their health. He looks for someone who:

  • Enjoys being challenged.
  • Takes responsibility for their progress.
  • Trains independently in Open Gym alongside personal training.
  • Is open to structure, discipline and honest feedback.

Seddik creates tailored programmes and helps you become stronger and more independent step by step.
