  1. FENTO KNEE PROTECTION

    Netherlands

    Geert Kaal and René van Rijn are the founders of FENTO KNEE PROTECTION. They developed FENTO’s knee protectors together. In 2000 sailmaker René van Rijn went to his doctor with chronic knee complaints. He was referred to Geert Kaal, a physiotherapist specializing in knee and back complaints. After ten treatments, René’s knee problems disappeared, but after 3 months, he returned with the same physical symptoms. But now so bad that he could no longer work on his knees, René had already bought and tested several knee protectors, but nothing helped him to prevent his knee and back problems. So he asked Geert: “Can you help me develop a knee protector with which I can continue working? ” After studying the “knee position” dozens of people were put into the “form-foam” to find the right ergonomic shape. From this, several prototypes were made and tested by various ‘knee sitters’ such as carpet layers, parquet layers, tilers, and construction workers. The idea was born. We have to develop a knee protector where the pressure is not only on the knee but is also distributed on the lower leg. In addition, it must be lightweight, breathable, and water-resistant. Five years later, the first model was ready for the market. We rented the smallest stand at the fair, and we were sold out after two days. The rest is history. We now have more than 500, 000 satisfied users in more than 10 countries. We still enjoy the ride daily and are very ambitious to expand FENTO internationally.

  2. ONLINE CALISTHENICS COACH

    Netherlands

    How does the Coaching work? - Do you train a lot but don't see a lot of results? - Do you think calisthenics is too heavy for you? - Do you don't like training in the gym? It’s important that I know where you are and where you want to go with your training, so I can fine-tune the schedule to your level. This will be done with an intake form in which you describe your level, goals and a bit of your sports history. When I have received the form, I will start making the schedules so you can start within a few days. As soon as your schedules are ready you will receive a signal from me, and you can open the coaching app and see the exercises you can use to get started. The exercises are shown on video as well as in text and are tailored to your desired training location. So, it can be in or around your house, on the playground, on the street, in the gym actually everywhere. You can see the exercises on video as well as in text. Next to that you will see how many repetitions, sets and rest you need to keep for an ideal progression. The coaching is not done through a live connection, but during your training you film the exercises that you want to be evaluated and send them to me. You will receive a response within 24 hours, with points for improvement and/or motivating words. If it is the case that you train less than we spoke about, I will notice that and contact you so you and I can talk about how to get it back on track.
