Socrates Nicola

Personal Trainer | Antwerp, Belgium

I have been a dedicated fitness coach since 2012, helping clients transform their health, strength, and confidence both locally in Antwerp and internationally. With over a decade of experience, I specialize in personalized training designed to achieve long-term results.

Since 2017, I have been proudly coaching at iFitness Antwerp (Berchem), where I continue to support my clients in reaching their fitness goals. My journey in the industry has also taken me beyond Belgium—I have managed Gold’s Gym in Baku, Azerbaijan, and worked with clients in Greece, gaining valuable experience in diverse training methods.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of coaching individuals of all ages and backgrounds, tailoring programs to their unique needs. My approach is focused on sustainable progress, strength development, and overall well-being.

Why Socrates Fitness?

Beyond my practical experience in personal training, I also have a background in pharmacy, giving me a deep understanding of how the human body responds to different training and nutritional approaches. Additionally, I hold certifications in The Science of Nutrition and Fat Loss Fundamentals, allowing me to provide evidence-based strategies to optimize your results.

I incorporate a progressive overload protocol in my training—a scientifically proven method for consistent growth and improvement. This approach not only helps build muscle but also enhances strength, endurance, and overall performance over time. My coaching is backed by both science and real-world experience, ensuring that every program is tailored to your unique needs. Fitness isn’t a “one-size-fits-all” journey, and I’m committed to designing customized training plans that work for YOU.

My Specialties:

✔️ Muscle Gain, Fat Loss, & Strength Development

✔️ Beginners to Advanced Athletes (including triathlon competitors)

✔️ Pre & Postnatal Fitness – safe and effective workouts for pregnant women

✔️ Teen Training – helping young athletes build strength, confidence, and lifelong healthy habits

Whether you’re a beginner, athlete, or someone looking to make a lasting change, I’m here to guide, support, and challenge you to reach your full potential.

Personal Training

I chose personal training because it has always been my passion—not just working out, but truly helping others improve their lives through fitness. For me, it’s about more than just exercise; it’s about building strength, confidence, and long-term well-being. Many of my clients have been with me for years—some for five, seven, or even longer—demonstrating my dedication to their ongoing success and growth. I thrive on building lasting relationships and watching my clients overcome challenges, unlock their potential, and transform both physically and mentally.

I offer both online and in-person coaching, providing flexibility so clients can follow a personalized program that fits their lifestyle and schedule. As part of my services, I include calorie and macro tracking, ensuring that clients understand their nutritional needs and stay on track toward their goals.

Whether your goal is muscle gain, fat loss, strength development, or maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle during pregnancy, I’m here to support and guide you every step of the way.

Bodybuilding Career

Alongside my personal training career, I have been actively competing in natural bodybuilding, showcasing my dedication to strength, discipline, and peak performance. In 2021, I achieved 1st place at the INBA Azerbaijan Championships, marking a significant milestone in my competitive journey.

My passion for bodybuilding continued into 2024, where I proudly earned:

🏆 3rd place – INBA Dutch International Championship

🥈 2nd place – NCOBB Dutch International Championship

🥇🥈 1st & 2nd place – IFBB Belgian National Championships

🥈🥉 2nd & 3rd place – ICN European Championships

🥉 3rd place – INBA World Championships

 

Beyond competing, I am honored to serve as a judge for the IFBB federation in Belgium, further deepening my expertise and understanding of competitive bodybuilding standards. This experience allows me to bring elite-level insights into my coaching, helping athletes and fitness enthusiasts refine their physique, performance, and stage presence.
