In clients’ words
Clients I coached in Oslo, before moving to Limassol.
His coaching is technical, structured and highly detailed, every movement has a clear purpose. What I appreciated most is that he doesn't just tell you what to do; he makes sure you understand how and why.
We trained twice a week, and over time I made very good progress across all the areas we focused on. I became stronger, my clothes started to feel looser, and I could see that I had gained muscle.

If your goal depends heavily on fat loss, nutrition, consistency or training on your own, this is usually the option I recommend.
Nutrition guidance is practical coaching around habits and intake. It does not replace treatment or medical nutrition therapy from a regulated healthcare professional.
What we can work on
- Strength
- Muscle development
- Pull-ups & dips
- Calisthenics skills
- Handstands
- Mobility
- Conditioning
- General fitness
Sessions combine bodyweight exercises, rings, parallettes, resistance bands and weighted training, chosen for your goal and level. Beginners start from the right progression. Experienced trainees get specific, technical work, including calisthenics skills such as the handstand, muscle-up and L-sit.
Train in Limassol
Sessions take place outdoors in two areas of Limassol. The exact meeting point is confirmed when we arrange your sessions.
Why outdoors?
Outdoor training gives us space to move freely and use bodyweight, rings, parallettes, resistance bands and weighted exercises without being tied to a gym floor. The session is still fully structured around your goal, with the equipment we need brought to the session.
Central Limassol
Outdoor training close to the city centre.
Germasogeia
Outdoor training for Germasogeia and the surrounding area.
Coaching windows
- Mornings
- 07:00-10:00
- Afternoons and evenings
- 16:00-20:00
These are general windows. Exact availability shifts through the year around the heat, daylight and weather. In the hottest months, sessions sit at the cooler ends of the day and intensity is adjusted to conditions.
Client stories
Before moving to Limassol, I coached clients in Oslo. These are their words, unedited.
Coached in Oslo
-
I can honestly say that Ruben has made a real difference for me. He is genuinely skilled, ambitious and knows exactly how to push you so you get that little extra, without tipping over the edge. What sets him apart is the follow-up. You feel seen, supported and motivated all the way through. His advice is concrete and practical, the kind you can actually follow in a busy life. It does not feel like a standard program. It feels personal. And it works.
Nina B.60, hairstylist, Oslo -
When I started training with Ruben in January, I had pain in my right shoulder and wasn't sure how much I could push myself. He adapted the exercises to suit me, increased the load gradually, and over time the pain disappeared. He also challenged me to lift heavier than I would have done on my own. After four months, I'm noticeably stronger.
May Britt L.69, retired, Oslo -
As an athletic 51-year-old who thrives on new challenges, I came into calisthenics with limited experience and high expectations. I value precision and proper execution, and Ruben delivered exactly that. His coaching is technical, structured and highly detailed, every movement has a clear purpose. What I appreciated most is that he doesn't just tell you what to do; he makes sure you understand how and why. I achieved my goals, including mastering a handstand, and now have a clear understanding of how to keep progressing on my own.
Preben S.51, investment banker, Oslo

At 67, I wanted a clear structure for building strength, stamina and long-term health. Ruben gave me exactly that. We trained twice a week, and over time I made very good progress across all the areas we focused on. I became stronger, my clothes started to feel looser, and I could see that I had gained muscle. Ruben was professional, considerate and very attentive to my technique, always giving clear corrections when needed. I now feel well equipped to continue training on my own.
Per A.67, senior manager, Oslo -
I have been active since the aerobic age and have always done group classes, but I lacked strength and was tired of wear-and-tear injuries. I needed a personal trainer who really saw me. I also wanted to feel more comfortable around the gym equipment area, so I could train on my own when travelling. Ruben was demanding, yet calm and educational, and professional in an empathetic and personal way. It is very rewarding to feel that I am on a better path and have gained strength.
Massi B.62, flight attendant, Oslo -
I came to Ruben with a specific goal: to learn the basics of calisthenics and work toward my first pull-up. From the very first session, he impressed me with his knowledge of bodyweight training and his ability to tailor each workout to my current level. He never pushed too hard or too little, the progression felt just right. I'm still working toward my first full pull-up, but with Ruben's structured approach, I can feel myself getting closer every week.

About Ruben
I’m Ruben Veres, a qualified Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach based in Limassol.
Before moving to Cyprus, I coached clients at SATS in Norway, one of Scandinavia’s largest gym groups, working with people across different ages, abilities and goals. I came from a corporate background in Oslo and now coach full time.
My own training is centred around strength and calisthenics, from push-ups and pull-ups to handstands and ring work. But coaching is not about making every client train the way I do. It’s about understanding where you are, where you want to go and finding a training approach that makes sense for you.
Some clients mainly need excellent coaching during their sessions. Others need more structure around their independent training, nutrition and consistency. That’s why I offer two different ways to work together instead of forcing every client into the same system.
“I coach the way I train: structured, precise, and focused on long-term progress.”
Questions before you start
Anything not covered here? Ask me on WhatsApp
Choosing an option
What is the difference between Private Training and Complete Coaching?
Both include the same private 55-minute 1:1 coaching sessions. Private Training focuses on those sessions. Complete Coaching adds the coaching between them: a full programme for your independent training in the coaching app, nutrition guidance, weekly check-ins and between-session WhatsApp support.
Which option is right for me?
That’s part of what the Initial Assessment is for. Afterwards, I’ll recommend the option that fits your goals and situation, and explain why.
Can I train only once per week?
Yes. Both options work at 1× or 2× weekly. I don’t coach clients less often than once a week, so training stays consistent enough to progress.
Do you coach beginners?
Yes. Every client starts from the right progression for their level, whether you’re new to training, returning after a break or already experienced. Before your first session, you complete a health-screening form and the coaching agreement.
Pricing and commitment
How does Complete Coaching pricing work?
It is billed every 4 weeks from the start: €360 at 1× weekly or €600 at 2× weekly, with a 12-week initial commitment (€1,080 or €1,800 in total). The sessions follow the same €60 rate as Private Training. The coaching between sessions is €120€120 every 4 weeks at either frequency, because programming, nutrition guidance and check-ins happen every week however often we train together.
What happens after the first 12 weeks of Complete Coaching?
It continues automatically on a rolling 4-week basis at the same frequency: €360 at 1× weekly or €600 at 2× weekly. To stop, cancel before your next billing date.
Can I change my training frequency or coaching option?
Yes. In Complete Coaching, a change between 1× and 2× weekly normally takes effect from the next 4-week billing cycle, subject to availability. You can move from Private Training to Complete Coaching at any time, and the unused value of your Private Training package is credited. Moving from Complete Coaching to Private Training is possible once your initial 12-week commitment is complete, at the start of a new billing cycle.
How long is a Private Training package valid, and what happens after it?
Private Training is sold as a package of 12 sessions, valid for 13 weeks from your first session. You pay €720 upfront, or 2 × €360 with the second payment due before session 7. When the sessions are used, the package ends and nothing renews automatically. You can then start a new package or move to Complete Coaching.
Sessions and scheduling
What if I miss a session or travel?
You can cancel or reschedule a session with at least 24 hours’ notice. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice normally count as used sessions. If you travel, let me know as early as you can. Longer illness, travel and other exceptional situations are handled under the Coaching Agreement.
Where do sessions take place, and what about the heat?
Outdoors, in Central Limassol or Germasogeia. The exact meeting point is confirmed when we arrange your sessions. In the hot months, sessions are placed in the early morning or late afternoon, and intensity is adjusted to conditions.
Why train outdoors instead of in a gym?
Outdoor training isn’t automatically better than gym training. For most of the goals I coach (strength, muscle development, pull-ups, calisthenics, mobility and general fitness) we can train very effectively without relying on machines, and it gives us a focused 1:1 environment without waiting for equipment. If your goal genuinely requires a machine-heavy or barbell-specific setup, I’ll tell you if this isn’t the right training environment for you.
