Client Case Study
Fredrik Kristoffers
Founder and Owner of The New Leadership
Background
It is common for individuals to have features of different body types (ectomorph, mesomorph and endomorph). The human body does not fall solely into one body type category.
In Fredrik’s case, he had long levers (for example, long arms) and had low body fat (some characteristics of an ectomorph). His build also had broad shoulders and waist, with hips that are not wide, that are features which are common in a mesomorph.
In 2014, Fredrik was training for his black belt in karate. His body fat percentage was 2% which is very low. Martial arts were an important part of Fredrik’s life and he has been training since a young age in Judo, Taekwondo, Kyu Shin Do and was currently practicing Wado (another style of karate).
Physical activity and fitness had always been significant in his life and Fredrik has also served in the Swedish military.
Client’s goal and purpose
As a founder responsible for providing strategic direction, leadership and implementing his vision for the business globally, Fredrik has an executive career which carries high responsibility and demands a lot of energy.
Fredrik wanted to avail my services because he wanted to find new ways to push up from low energy to high continuous energy again.
Fredrik's Goals:
- keep healthy and fit until old age and to be able to enjoy life
- continue training karate actively at 80 years old
In the context of being healthy, success to Fredrik meant
- being able to fix things in life
- high mobility
- and enough strength to handle opportunities in life
In order of importance, the health and fitness goals he wanted to focus on over the next 3 to 12 months were:
- Flexibility, to be able to move agile
- energy, to feel the happiness of exercise
- strength to manage situations in life
What were the key challenges Fredrik had in achieving his health and fitness goals?
Lack of energy and work commitments.
What were the results?
My work with Fredrik is still ongoing, but with my customised training plan, we have focused on getting his strength and agility levels up. We also focused on his abdominal strength and to get his core to enable strength in his exercises.
The training focus has meant that Fredrik has more energy to enjoy the benefits of exercise and is able to bring that strength to his martial arts.

“Ravi’s personal training programme was a whole new level of training!
I have always led a regularly active lifestyle but in the last few years, my commitment to work has meant having less energy and just maintaining my physique rather than continuing to develop it. I have had several experienced trainers, especially in martial arts, and having been one myself, I believe I can judge and see the best in this field. My goal was to create more energy, build a stronger core and keep flexibility.
When Ravi started his personal training with me, he was very receptive to what was important to me and he had a very professional and compassionate approach. His attitude and commitment inspired me to become motivated from the start.
His support in diet and training and overall holistic approach for my goals, made my energy and vitality rise quickly.
I strongly recommend Ravi as a PT. Whatever goals you have, or hurdles you need to overcome, Ravi will be there for you!
Thanks, Ravi, for a great restart to my exercising regime and a great feeling of strength in my body again!”
