About the instructor

Janneke den Otter
I have been a personal trainer for about 6 years now and have further specialized myself in the field of nutrition. I have gained a lot of experience in training riders with Garry and now I want to share my experiences with the rest of the world. In addition to physical guidance and optimization, I am also interested in mental coaching. I think that there is also a lot to gain for many people and I am happy to take on that challenge, both in training and teaching.
