About me

 
 

My name is Belén Ponce, but everybody knows me as Bella.

I come from Argentina and I moved to Denmark in 2018 looking for new challenges and opportunities to develop my own business. I’m a personal trainer, nutrition coach, lifestyle coach, exercise nerd & travel lover.

Sports have been in my life as long as I remember, ever since I was a little kid. At the age of 15 I started to get curious about fitness centers and did multiple fitness activities as well as strength training. But in 2015 I discovered that my passion for fitness was growing more and more and I wanted to become a coach to help people become the best version of themselves.

I’ve worked in SATS Denmark from 2021 to 2023; leaving with a special prize for “Best Personal Trainer Team 2023” from Denmark, together with my colleagues, at SATS AWARDS in Stockholm, Sweden.

 
 

A healthy lifestyle does not mean being on a strict diet 24/7, exercising 7 days a weeks and feeling guilty for eating sweets. That is not healthy. I struggled with eating disorders and body image dysmorphia for many years, so I know from experience what it is to feel trapped in your own body by your own mind.

Having a healthy lifestyle means to have a good relationship not only with the food but with one-self, being able to find the balance between meals, exercise and your life. But first you need to ask yourself what makes you happy. This lifestyle is a choice.

You should feel free to enjoy those meetings with family and friends without restricting yourself of eating something delicious or drink a good glass of wine, but you should also find a physical activity that your enjoy in order to stay active and take care of the food intake without restricting, it is just balance. This is not a temporary fix until you achieve your goals and then forget everything, it’s about making those days part of your life, thinking beyond your limits, enjoying it and getting better every day. I am here to help you go through that journey, keep you motivation high and find the perfect strategy that fits you and only you.

I speak English and Spanish.
