Meet Your Expert: Thilde Maarbjerg

Behind every good workout lie a few core principles that decide whether your effort delivers results. Meet Thilde Maarbjerg, who helps you build your strength training on a solid foundation.

Who is Thilde?

Thilde Maarbjerg is a physical trainer with a broad background in training. She has trained functional fitness and CrossFit, worked with pilates and reformer training, and over the years has worked extensively with strength training, which is her main focus today in her work as a personal trainer.

Thilde's three foundations of strength training

Thilde's approach rests on three fundamental foundations that all effective strength training is built on:

Learning the movement patterns. It starts with learning the fundamental movements, and above all how to perform them correctly.

Controlling tempo. Here it's about understanding how tension affects the impact of your training, how important it is that the load sits in the right place, and what time under tension really means.

Progressive overload. Finally comes the principle of how you gradually get stronger by continually increasing either the weight or the number of reps.
