From gossip to reps: Evert Santegoeds (62) started as a fitfluencer in his old age. He flexes his muscles a lot on the gram and everyone can see it. “Do not stop! 4, 5, 6!”
You will be thrown to death with it: celebrities who want to show what weights they are lifting in the gym. They’re not quite there yet live streaming, but that is certainly the next step. In any case: Evert Santegoeds (62), editor-in-chief of Privé and one of the stars of Shownieuws, is now also participating.
Personal trainer
Evert and his personal trainer Dirk Kempen have been doing it together for a few years now: hanging out in the gym. And the gentlemen are also on a roll this week. We look up Instagram for example, how they do the incline push up doing. “6, 9, that’s it, come onover half,” shouts the young man hired by the Private Boss.
Then on to the cable fly. “3, neat, 4, 5, 6, that’s it, come onchest up, keep that chest up,” Evert is told.
The incline dumbbell press then: Evert does this with 60 kilos, although he is helped a bit by his trainer. “3, neat, come on, push, 4, right, come on, come on, let’s go, neat, come on.”
Shoulder press
Evert then undergoes the shoulder press. “2, neat, good down, 3 and good exhale, come on, 4, exhale, exhale, up, exhale, 5, right, come on, come on, come on, push, 6.”
Evert’s motivation shines through. He started with that young sports guy three and a half years ago. “After fifteen years of not exercising, Evert came to me with a goal,” says trainer Dirk. “I can proudly say that it is certainly always possible. And it’s never too late!”
Muscle mass
What was Evert’s goal? “Evert came to me with the aim of losing weight and then gaining muscle mass. I would like to emphasize how much respect I have for Evert and how much dedicated this gentleman is training. Evert trains three times a week under my guidance and has never canceled a training in two years.”
Well, that’s quite clever from our TV senior. “Because of his perseverance he has lost more than 12 kilos and is in the best shape of his entire life, and that at his age! Evert has shown that anything is possible with the right one mindset. Super proud of this winner! 🙏🏽”
Evert shows that you are never too old to flex:
