With a family obsessed with nature and sports, Rüben's love for exercise and physical challenge began at the young age of 2. From running with his father as a child, becoming a semi-pro in judo to training for the infamous Dutch Elfstedentocht. This all-rounder is lucky that he can just do what he loves to do: be active and gain as much knowledge about this as possible. In addition to his work as a Milo mentor, he enjoys exploring the connection between mental and physical health. He also gives lectures to companies about everything related to health. Rüben also works a lot with customers with a (chronic) illness background and coaches them towards health and happiness.
After completing his studies in movement sciences, Rüben founded Kettlebell Outdoor in 2013. In 2021, he founded a breathwork coaching company and joined Milo as a mentor. He loves sharing his insights about breath and the essential role it plays in both physical performance and recovery. It even supports top athletes in using it.
