EAT.
Each of us has an individual taste when it comes to food. We have developed our taste palate based on our upbringing, our environment, our lifestyle and our personal likings. The reason why this program is successful is because it teaches you the balance in nutrition and at the same time it remains personalized to better suit you according to your goal. A sustainable way of eating cannot be achieved by following other peoples’ diets or quick fixes that end up in temporary progress. If it doesn’t fit your lifestyle, there is smaller possibility of long term success.
How does it work though?
- We start with a Body Composition Analysis. A scale that measures not only your weight but also your skeletal muscle mass, your visceral fat and your subcutaneous fat. It provides an overview of your body composition and overall fitness. This is your benchmark, your starting point. According your goal I will guide you to set up your next steps.
- The next step is to track your food by writing everything down so you can get confronted with your choices. When we go through the nutrition facts based on your tracking, it becomes more clear to define what kind of changes you should make to accomplish your goals.
- You will be provided with guidelines according to your caloric and macronutrients intake and we will take it step by step with weekly meetings where we will discuss the deeper reasons for your choices and eating behaviour. You will get familiar with the macronutrients of food and you will become equipped to make good choices- even at dinner parties with your friends!
- Further in time you will see yourself establishing new routines and those routines can follow you in the long term.
- After a respectable amount of time, depending the changes in your body, you have the opportunity to do the measurement again so you can see the progress and set up new goals.
This is not a quick fix! This is about you making deep changes in your life that will nourish yourself and keep you healthy. During this process you will see that the desired body composition and the number in the scale will come naturally as a consequence of your own choices !
you must be willing to do something
you’ve never done.”
Train.
Exercise is a lot more than a tool for managing our weight and shaping our image. Our body is designed to move freely and our lifestyle has become an obstacle in achieving this freedom. To build a stronger body, one needs to simultaneously develop a stronger mind. Creating a advanced skeletal muscle mass is critical to support your structure, protect against injuries and accidents and feel strong and fierce.
My purpose as a fitness coach is to help you find your drive and guide you on this journey towards accomplishing your goals and discovering the best/stronger version of yourself. Life has limitless possibilities and by getting mentally and physically stronger, you will be empowered to create your own path!

Thrive.
”When I first met Stefania, I was 94kg and believed neither in nutrition nor in coaching. Yet I needed help. The weight loss I have started on my own when I was 106kg was not moving forward and my energy level was almost zero. Now after 4 months with Nutrition & Fitness coaching with Stefania, I have not only lost 15kg but also became a person enjoying the workouts. I have also changed towards a more positive way of thinking of different aspects of my life. Her experience in nutrition coaching and background in professional sports make Stefania a great coach but for me it is more important to be able to connect with a coach. Stefania’s kind caring and energetic personality created this connection in a very natural and pleasant way.” Gonca K.
”When Stefania asked me to write a review about my experience, she made it clear I had to write it from the heart and that pretty much sums up how it is to have her as a coach. She has invested in helping me to get more knowledge about food and the choices I can make. She also encouraged me to dig deeper to discover why I hit an emotional wall when it comes to food. Stefania asks questions that sometimes I did not want to answer and she is there to offer whatever I need to learn and grow. She also holds me accountable, not for what she wants or what the society wants but for what I intend to do-my goal and why I wanted to reach that. That for me is a game changer ! ” Eva M.
Me.
My name is Stefania Nalmpanti and this is my story.
I was born in Athens and when I was 17 years old my career as a professional waterpolo goalkeeper started. I played for more than 10 years in various first league teams in Greece, the Netherlands and Hungary. My love for the science of movement also grew during my academic studies in Physical Education and Sports Science.
My personal struggle in nutrition and the encouragement from CrossfitLeiden gave me the push that I needed to obtain my Certification as Nutrition Coach. Since then I combine my skills and my energy to empower the ones that really want to thrive in their lives!
My services in training and nutrition are based on my clients’ needs. My first priority is to create a truthful connection and create a plan that works the best for you!
