About Tarkan
Welcome! I am Tarkan Kaynas. Thank you for your interest in my personal training services! I was born in Istanbul, Turkey in 1970. My father was a bodybuilder and gymnast. He noticed the same potential in me and enrolled me in a gymnastics training facility. I excelled at the sport. My trainers realized that my body was suitable for gymnastics, and after a few years of hard work, they convinced me to try out for national competitions. I practiced gymnastics from 1975 to 1982. During the same time, I started practicing Judo. I was always very active and even joined a breakdancing group!
In 1984, I started training in kickboxing and Aikido because of my muscular physique—this lead me to become interested in amateur bodybuilding. I trained hard and tried out for the National Bodybuilding Competition in my country. I came in second place at the Turkish Youth Competition, which encouraged me to train harder and aim higher on a professional level. I have been endorsed by professional bodybuilders Ahmet Enunlu, Tulug Topa and Adnan Sir.
I have earned many certifications in sports fitness and health. As a personal trainer and life coach, my goal is to help people achieve their personal goals in health and overall wellbeing using the right training and nutritional techniques.
