Testimonials
Mikko - Game Developer
”My training results were stuck for a long time and I didn’t feel confident with the big movements or heavier weights due to my lifting form. With Jonne my form has improved to the next level and I’ve learned many useful exercises. I’ve also grown mentally, and now I have the confidence for heavier weights. I get more out of my sessions and focus more on results and progression.”
Asko - Game Artist
”I wanted to get stronger and improve my technique in training. Through Jonne’s coaching my lifting form became natural and automatic, and recovery was planned well. Jonne’s listening and calm style combined with a getting-it-done attitude fits both beginners and experienced trainees. I recommend Jonne’s coaching to anyone interested in strength training or staying in shape, no matter your age.”
Kiko - Musician/Guitarist
”I’ve been going to the gym for many decades in between tours and in hotel gyms, trying my best without proper guidance. When I moved to Finland I finally decided to get a proper trainer. I wanted to learn the right techniques for deadlifting and kettlebell lifting. Jonne is an amazing trainer, he understood my goals, built a strategy and I am able to lift weights I have never done in my life, with no pain or injuries. The right technique and pace have made me feel so strong. Thanks to Jonne!”
Kirsi - Cultural Production Graduate
”I warmly recommend Jonne’s coaching! As a coach Jonne is humane, professional and motivating. My life has changed significantly as I’ve learned about nutrition, prioritizing and the big picture of wellbeing.”
Aki - Chief Technical Officer
”I had started to worry about my everyday performance and life quality. The consistency and scheduled times have motivated me to push forwards. Jonne’s coaching has been rewarding, progressive and well-rounded. I recommend Jonne’s coaching to beginners who are not familiar with the gym. Jonne’s large knowledge base, long-term thinking and calmness give space for development without unnecessary perfectionism. ”
Douglas - CEO
”I’m super happy. Thanks for the awesome programming and coaching. Previously I could’ve easily not trained for weeks when life is so stressful, but working with you has pushed me to keep my shit somewhat together even when stress and problems got insanely tough. To continue to make these gains is super motivating too.”

Gym and strength coaching
Start training with me in Helsinki or online!
Hi! I’m Jonne Kytölä, a personal trainer working in the Helsinki area and the host of Voimafilosofi-podcast (Strength Philosopher).
If you are a beginner at the gym, together we will get to know the heart of every gym: free weights like barbells, kettlebells, dumbbells, and the weight of your own body. We’ll create a foundation for motivating and progressive strength training supplemented with mobility and cardio training as needed.
If you are a more advanced trainee, together we’ll bring your training to the next level. Maybe the keys to your progress lie in better programming, a more inspiring selection of exercises, or improved focus and attitude during tough sets. Let’s investigate together what might be holding you back, whether it’s a small bump on the road or an unhelpful repeating pattern.

Nutrition coaching
Is healthy eating confusing?
Would you like to have your eating habits make sense to you?
Let’s figure out a sustainable way to tackle your nutrition issues!
-Kati
I’m happy to discuss minor changes to your nutrition during training sessions. But if you are really looking to change your eating habits, nutrition coaching is what I recommend.
We’ll figure out what your nutrition looks like and why. By clarifying your eating patterns we’ll be able to pinpoint what are the smallest changes that give the biggest results.
There’s not a single method for nutrition coaching that works. Sometimes the only thing that is needed is learning how to plate balanced meals. Sometimes it’s counting calories. But equally as often it is about learning your own psychological pitfalls and articulating your own values in relation to food.
I highly recommend combining nutrition coaching with some sort of exercise program. If you have an ongoing gym program, we can easily troubleshoot training issues during our nutrition video calls.

About me and a word on my podcast
About me
There’s a Finnish saying that goes: ”You speak of that which you lack”. The irony of the saying is not lost on me, as the name “Voimafilosofi” means “Strength Philosopher”.
But then again, no one likes feeling (or being) foolish and weak. Instead, when you feel and act in strength and wisdom – now that’s a great place to be in!
I believe that wisdom can be discovered by asking simple questions with humility. I believe that trying things with courage and curiosity in the gym can reveal the strength hidden in your body. I also believe that clear and attentive coaching pushes both beginners and advanced trainees to beat their obstacles in the gym and in the kitchen.
Get in touch if you’d like me to guide you in the world of strength and nutrition!

Podcast
I’ve also had a Finnish podcast called “Voimafilosofi-podcast” (The Strength Philosopher Podcast) since 2021, where I investigate topics like personality, emotions, and habit change within the context of strength training, nutrition, and general health.
Some notable series in the podcast have been:
-a 12-episode investigation into the concept of health
-a total of 13 episodes covering training and personality psychology
-a 17-episode series investigating physical training in relationship to cognitive science, wisdom and play
-a 9-episode series about the neuroscience of emotions and strength training
