Eric Smulders

Hi, I'm Eric — Founder & Head Coach at TrainedByEric I'm a national IPF powerlifting champion (Thailand, 66kg) with international competition experience at the World and Asian Championships - but my real specialty is online coaching that helps everyday people get strong, lean, and pain-free without the guesswork. Based in Phuket, I coach clients all over the world through personalized online programming - combining over a decade of hands-on experience with a strictly evidence-based approach to training, nutrition, and recovery. Every client gets a program built around their body, their schedule, and their equipment, delivered straight to their phone with video feedback, check-ins, and direct access to me. My background also spans strength coaching at a high-end retreat and corrective exercise and movement assessment, so whether you're chasing your first pull-up, prepping for a competition, or finally trying to lose the weight for good, you're in experienced hands.
