Socrates Nicola
Personal Trainer in Antwerp, Belgium
I’ve been in the personal training industry for over 10 years, helping clients achieve their health and fitness goals both locally in Antwerp and internationally.
Since 2017, I have been proudly working at iFitness in Antwerp (Berchem), where I continue to transform the lives of my clients.
My journey in fitness has also taken me to countries like Greece and Azerbaijan, where I managed Gold’s Gym in Baku.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with clients of all ages and backgrounds, enhancing their well-being and confidence.
Why Socrates Fitness
In addition to my practical experience, I hold a background in pharmacy, which gives me a strong foundation in understanding the human body and how it responds to different training and nutritional approaches. I’m also certified in the Science of Nutrition and hold credentials in Fat Loss Fundamentals, enabling me to offer evidence-based advice to optimize your results.
I utilize a progressive overload protocol in my training, which is essential for consistent growth and improvement. This method not only builds muscle but also enhances strength and endurance over time. My approach to training is grounded in science and backed by real-world experience. I believe fitness is not a “one-size-fits-all” journey; each person has unique goals, needs, and challenges, and I create customized training programs that work for you.
My specialties include muscle gain, fat loss, and strength development, with a wide range of clients from complete beginners to seasoned athletes, including triathlon athletes. I also have experience working with pregnant women to ensure safe and effective fitness routines, as well as teenagers looking to build healthy habits and self-confidence.
Personal Training
I chose personal training because it has always been my passion—not just working out, but helping others improve their lives through fitness. Many of my clients have been with me for years—some for five, seven, or even longer—demonstrating my commitment to their long-term success. I thrive on building lasting relationships and watching my clients overcome challenges, develop confidence, and achieve their full potential, both physically and mentally.
I offer both online and in-person coaching, providing flexibility for clients to access personalized programs that fit their schedule and lifestyle. As part of my services, I provide kcal tracking with macros, which helps clients understand their nutritional needs and stay on track with their goals.
Whether you’re aiming for muscle gain, fat loss, strength development, or a healthier lifestyle during pregnancy, I’m here to support and guide you every step of the way.
Bodybuilding
In addition to my personal training career, I’ve been actively competing in natural bodybuilding. In 2021, I took 1st place at the INBA Azerbaijan Championships. My competitive streak continued in 2024 with:
3rd place at the INBA Dutch International Championship 2nd place at the NCOBB Dutch International Championship 1st and 2nd places at the IFBB Belgian National Championships 2nd and 3rd places at the ICN European Championships 3rd place at the INBA World Championships I’m also proud to serve as a judge for the IFBB federation in Belgium, which adds to my experience and understanding of competitive bodybuilding standards.
