Two athletes

One passion. One goal.

And that goal is reaching yours. Whether that means stepping on stage or simply starting to train, as long as you are willing to put in the work, we are behind you.

The belief behind Elitesphysiques is that coaching is not simply a plan you send off, but a personalised approach in which we constantly adjust to achieve the best result.

Honesty lasts longest: we never promise what we cannot deliver. We tell it like it is, even when that is uncomfortable. And we show what we ask of you ourselves, every single week, on stage and beyond.

What we do

Different goals. One way of working.

We coach people with very different goals, from a competition to their first pull-up. But the system underneath is the same: a plan that makes sense, weekly adjustments, and honest communication.

/ 01

Building muscle

For people who want to build their physique with purpose, not just "do a bit more". We focus on building muscle by aligning training, execution, nutrition, recovery and structure, from improving your technique in the gym to eating habits and routines you can actually maintain.

The goal: not a few weeks of effort, but a complete transformation a year from now. Even if you are no longer 20.
/ 02

Cuts & transformation

Getting leaner without sacrificing muscle or giving up within three weeks. We work in phases that fit your life: work, kids, social commitments, and adjust every week based on what is actually happening.

For: anyone 18+ who wants a serious approach
/ 03

Contest prep

Full contest prep for Bikini, Wellness, Men's Physique, Classic Physique and Bodybuilding. From off-season to peak week and show day. We compete ourselves, and that experience runs through every plan.

For all athletes
Who we are

Two athletes. One vision. No coincidence.

We are Babet Kooistra and Mitchel Zwoferink. A duo from the Netherlands, both active competitive athletes and online coaches. We built Elitesphysiques from one conviction: real coaching goes beyond a training or nutrition plan. It is about guidance, structure and someone standing beside you throughout the entire journey. We coach athletes nationwide and internationally, with a personal approach and a standard we hold ourselves to as well.

Babet Kooistra

Coach · Bikini Athlete

I get my energy from reaching goals and seeing real progress. I do not settle for minimal results, not for myself and not for the women I coach. I see hard work and dedication, and there I am your biggest cheerleader. But I am also honest when the reins need to be tightened. For me, a good partnership comes down to honesty, communication and hard work from both sides. Together we build not only a stronger physique, but also more confidence, structure and results that last.

"Honesty and discipline will take you further than motivation ever can. I build lasting results with you, and the confidence that comes with them."

Coach · Classic Physique

I do not tell people what they want to hear. Coaching means being honest about what it takes to get results, not saying what sounds nice. That goes for competitive athletes working towards their first stage, but just as much for men getting seriously started for the first time. I believe in standards. In discipline. In doing what you agreed to. And in being honest about what it really takes to get somewhere.

"Being tough on my clients is a form of respect. If I let you get away with excuses, I am really saying I do not believe you can do it."

The Elitesphysiques way

Four things that are always true.

Coaches who promise everything ultimately promise nothing. So here is what we stand for. Clearly, so you know exactly what you are signing up for.

01

No quick fixes. No fairy tales.

A strong, lean body is built over months and years, not weeks. We coach you through that journey, not around it. Anyone promising otherwise is selling you something else.

02

Honest, even when it is uncomfortable.

If something is not working, we say so. If something is working, we explain why. You leave our coaching with more knowledge than when you started. That is the least you should expect.

03

Tailored. No copy paste.

We coach competitive athletes and entrepreneurs with three kids who want their best shape ever. Not with the same plan. But with the same dedication.

04

We compete ourselves.

Not in the past. Now. We coach from the same competitive stage our clients want to stand on.

Coaching

One path. One standard: elite.

We only work with people who are serious about their goals. That is why coaching at Elitesphysiques is not about quick templates or one-size-fits-all guidance, but an approach built entirely around the person behind the goal. Want a conversation first to see if it is a fit? We are happy to schedule one. Honest, clear, and without a sales pitch.

Our vision

Health first.

Building a strong physique is a marathon, not a sprint. We believe real results come from training, nutrition, recovery and patience. In all of that, your long-term health always comes first for us.

We coach you as far as possible in a natural, healthy way and help you get the most out of yourself. Everyone ultimately makes their own choices. We're here to inform you honestly, guide you and think along with you, without judgement.

  • 01
    The basics first
    Most people don't get nearly the most out of training, nutrition and recovery. That's where the biggest gains are, and that's where we always start.
  • 02
    Long-term health
    Results at the expense of your health aren't results. We build in a way that lasts years, not a few months.
  • 03
    Honest and without judgement
    You make your own choices. We're here to inform and guide you honestly, with knowledge and without prejudice.
Frequently asked questions

The questions we get most often.

How does an online coaching programme work? +
We always start with a form looking at where you are now, what you want to achieve and what your life looks like. Based on that we build a training and nutrition plan that fits. After that we check in every week via WhatsApp and your Daily Tracker. We review your progress, make small adjustments and answer your questions. It's not a plan you send off, it's a journey we walk through together.
Do you also work with beginners? +
Absolutely. Whether you've never trained or have been at it for years, what matters is that you're serious about getting started.
Do you also coach people who don't want to compete? +
Absolutely. Most of our clients will never stand on a stage and have no desire to.
Do you coach internationally? +
Yes. Online coaching works anywhere; we coach clients across the Netherlands, Belgium and beyond.
Do Babet and Mitchel both coach everyone, or do we choose? +
Babet specialises in coaching women. Mitchel coaches men.
How long am I committed to coaching? +
The minimum commitment is 3 months, after which it's cancellable monthly with one month's notice, so you're not locked into a yearly contract. We work transparently, with no hidden costs.
