About Me

Hi! My name is Mirjam Happel and I was born in 1982 in Breda, The Netherlands. From a young age, music and sports were close to my heart. During my last years of High School and during my studies I was a licensed sailing instructor. I love snowboarding and recently I started learning to Kitesurf. My love for music I express by regularly visiting concerts and festivals.

In 2006 I discovered Les Mills Bodycombat and after 2 years of actively participating in the classes I became a Certified Les Mills Bodycombat instructor. Another 2 years later two other programs followed: Bodypump and Bodybalance. I can say I am a fan of Les Mills. I like to participate in classes I don't teach myself and frequently visit Les Mills events.

In 2011 I decided to start Force of Fitness which allowed me to expand my classes to more gyms and share my passion for Les Mills with more people.

I am fluent in Dutch and English and able to teach in both languages.

Next to teaching Les Mills classes, I work at Booking.com as a Senior Learning Specialist in our Information Technology department.
