### Transition to Personal Training
After his school basketball days, Joachim developed a keen interest in personal fitness development. This passion led him to become a personal trainer, starting at a gym for women and later joining F45 as their founding trainer. His experience at F45 exposed him to the world of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), which eventually led him to his current role at SUMHIIT Fitness.

He found joy in the challenges of dieting and training for competitions, but eventually decided to shift his focus towards helping others navigate their fitness journeys. His decision to stop competing in bodybuilding was driven by a desire to support and guide individuals through their transformations.

The optional post-workout segment focuses on core exercises to tighten the abs.
