SISU (NOUN, FINNISH)
Sisu starts where grit ends. It is the second engine we don't realise we have, until we think have come to the end of our mental / physical strength. Sisu is extra ordinary determination that allows us to keep going.
Sisu is necessary to stop yo-yo dieting and training, as well as stick to your gym program. Let's find YOUR sisu.
ABOUT COACH KAI
Sisu Training was established in 2019 by Kaisu Karttunen ('Kai'), to help others understand what sisu is, and more importantly, to find theirs.
Kai's fitness journey in a nutshell:
"I started loving movement as a teenager when I was a dancer in competitive group. However, completely fell off track at around 18 and found myself binge eating & drinking, having negative body-image and constantly struggling with yo-yo dieting.
At the age of 21, I literally forced myself to go to the gym. I got a personal trainer that I couldn't cancel on and created a new morning routine. Thank goodness I stuck with it (mostly), and learnt to LOVE weight training and anything to do with fitness!
In 2018 I decided to become a fitness coach to help others get out of their yo-yo training/dieting, as I understand how hard it feels - but also how doable it is to fix it. I have worked out a template that has worked on hundreds of people and there is nothing more rewarding than watch someone coming from "no fitness background" to feel like a powerful athlete!
After going through phases of loving powerlifting (up to 125kg squat) to then bodybuilding (where I won my ICN national title Sports Model Pro in 2022), I am currently practicing and preaching LIFESTYLE BALANCE.
As long as you are ready to work as a team to find what works for YOU, focus on a small win at the time, I''d be honoured to coach you!"
