Philip gives attention to detail and to you, he makes sure that the programming with explanations is done the best way possible for you to get the most out of training. He put effort into making you understand WHY he want you to do what he tell you to do. He listens to feedback and make changes accordingly, he make him self available to give extra support when you need it. He makes sure you stay healthy but also challenges you when needed.

I have been working with Philip (Apex Athletics) since the beginning of the 2023 CrossFit season and could not be happier with my experience so far. Philip consistently provides programming that maintains a balance between specifically targeting exactly what I need to work on whilst making strengths stronger. Communication with Philip is easy, professional and fast. He provides information in text, audio and video form to support the programming so I know the why and how behind everything we do. We have built a relationship where I feel comfortable talking to Philip about lifestyle factors that might effect training, which he then factors into the programme. When you combine his great attention to detail with reliability, I have a coach that is trustworthy and genuinely makes me feel like it is a team effort to leave no stone unturned on the journey to my goals.

I am thrilled to share my experience working with Emil as my CrossFit coach. Emil's dedication, work ethic, and unwavering commitment to his work has been truly exceptional. Emil’s passion for CrossFit is infectious, and it translates into every aspect of his coaching. One of the most remarkable things about Emil is his ability to tailor the training program to my individual needs and goals. He takes the time to understand my strengths, weaknesses, and aspirations, allowing him to create personalized workouts that challenge me and drive me towards progress. Whether I'm aiming to increase my strength, improve my endurance, or refine my gymnastics skills, Emil has been there every step of the way, providing expert guidance and unwavering support. Moreover, Emil's dedication to his craft is evident in his commitment to staying up to date with the latest advancements and trends in CrossFit. He constantly seeks to expand his knowledge and refine his coaching skills. This dedication ensures that I receive the highest quality training and guidance possible. Thank you, Emil, for your unwavering support, your positive mindset, and for helping me surpass my goals. I look forward to continuing this incredible partnership as we strive for new heights together.

I've been training under Philip Bisgaard for three years and I can confidently say that he is one of the best coaches out there. Thanks to Philip I qualified to the CrossFit semifinals for three consecutive years. Philip is extremely knowledgeable about CrossFit and his programming is top-notch and he is always there to offer support and guidance. I would highly recommend Philip to anyone looking to take their fitness to the next level.

I have had Philip as my coach for the past 2 years, which has been a really good decision. We have worked a lot on my weaknesses, and there has been significant improvement since we started. I think Philip is good at taking individual preferences into account, which allows one to get the most out of their training and always work on what they need. Additionally, it's great that you always receive good feedback and can contact him if needed. I can definitely recommend him if you want to develop within crossfit.

Philip is an incredibly smart and knowledgeable coach. He’s not just providing a training program. He communicates well why and how my training is structured as is, so I can better understand the purpose behind my training. And his attention to detail has made a big difference in how I move both in gymnastics and lifts. I would highly recommend him if you want to take your training to the next level.

I have been under Philip's wing for almost 2 years now, which I am really happy about. Together with Philip, I have developed both my physical and mental levels, where he has been a huge support. Philip is really good at spotting the small details and helping me turn my weaknesses into strengths. I am truly happy and grateful to have Philip as my coach.

Emil and Philip strive to make you the best athlete you can be. It's a plan and a goal for your training that you've put together with them. It's tailored to you and where you are in your season in terms of focus points, weaknesses, and what it takes to achieve your goals, as well as adapted to your surroundings. They are not only attentive to the training itself but to the "big picture," so they show great interest in how your entire day looks like in terms of work, relationships, family, sleep, diet, and more. It's personal and not "just a program."

Diligence, professionalism, and dedication are the foremost words to describe Philip. I started working with him about three years ago. At the time, I was dealing with a back injury and knee problems, which severely limited my training. Already within the first few months, I saw significant improvements. Moreover, I have significantly improved my weightlifting technique, gymnastic level, and my strength numbers throughout the years. In addition to providing you with a structural training program, Philip provides you with a weekly feedback video, in which he analyses submitted training videos, corrects mistakes and gives you key focus points for the next training session. Together, this reflects the competence and professionalism of Philip. Furthermore, he has taught me the importance of external factors outside the gym - i.e., the importance of sleep, appropriate nutrition, and rest - ensuring that all relevant aspects of training are approached. If you are in the search of a competent, professional coach, and if you are willing to work hard, Philip is the one!

Philip was my coach from 2018 until I ended my 'career'. He was THE REASON I reached the level I did and was 100% the reason I made it to the Games in 2021. Philip, as a person, delves into who you are as an individual. He manages to tailor the training to you as a person, based on how you're feeling, while also making you better, but without losing motivation because you're only doing things you're bad at. Philip believed in me 100% more than I did myself, and was completely dedicated to me, making a huge difference in my athletic 'career'.

Emil is a Coach who will not settle for less, someone who wants all parameters to work for the athlete. Often you can quickly find one focus point, a weakness which of course requires a lot of attention, but he never forget the other elements. By continuously gathering information on what the big picture looks like there are not too many gaps missed in the many elements crossfit require Emil is a geeky coach and therefore has many tools to help his athletes master skills, if things don't work, he can quickly see if it is because it requires time or if something else is needed. As an on-site athlete, you have weekly contact 1:1, in addition to messages, which Emil happily answers. This means that the quality of the program is as high and individual as possible, if changes are necessary they are made, if things need to be reversed, they are reversed, thereby as an athlete you can fully focus on your development and your ongoing goals Emil is without a doubt a fantastic coach who has many qualities!

I have been an on-site athlete with Emil for approx. 6 months now. Within this quite short timeframe, I have seen significant improvements in my abilities as an athlete, particularly related to gymnastic movements which has been my main focus area. I have gone from 0 to 6 UB RMU, from not being able to walk on my hands at all to being so and from 16 UB C2B to 30 UB C2B to mention just a few times examples. I could not have achieved this without Emil's talented coaching by my side, making sure I practice my weaknesses at every single session, optimising movements at every PT and being there to talk about every thing that is both difficult and challenging about being an athlete. I really enjoy working with Pursuit and can’t wait to see what the future will bring!

The collaboration with Emil is fantastic. He is a really passionate and very clever crossfit coach. He is really empathic and really understanding if you need to have a day off or switch around some of your trainingdays, if life or work knocks. I’m looking forward to more trainingdays with Emil and curious about what we can achieve together.

Emil is an honest, loving and present coach who has his heart in the right place. Emil is more than just a coach who creates a program for you and looks at you based on your skills within the sport. Emil involves you as a person and takes into account what is important to you, where he also contributes with sparring in relation to diet, the mental aspect and just life in general Emil always strives to acquire new skills and knowledge, which means that he never sees anything blindly and is always curious and open to knowledge but also to you as an athlete and a person. Also, Emil is not afraid to acknowledge his own "shortcomings" as a coach, but is solution-oriented by involving and offering collaboration with other specialists who can help you achieve your goals - e.g. Within weightlifting. In the collaboration with Emil, you have a person who involves himself, which makes the collaboration both safe, fun, educational and equal in many respects. Emil has his athlete in focus - He is always there, whether you need a hug or a high five, whether you need someone to listen or whether you need to review your training, a specific exercise ect. Emil meets you where you are, there is never anything too small to be taken care of! I can only recommend Emil and Pursuit!

Emil is able to ensure that I'm moving in the right direction. He does this by assessing where my current level is, and what I need in order to get to where I want to be. The program is tailored specifically to me and is constantly adjusted to my needs. This is also a big part of why I feel I can achieve the goals that I have, because I don't hit a plateau. I'm not in doubt that Emil has helped me improve a lot during the relatively short time we have been working together, especially in gymnastics. He is also able to look and see what I need to work on with regard to the areas that I find difficult. Which again is a big part of why I keep improving. I'm very impressed with how serious Emil is. As a masters athlete I was worried that he wouldn't take me seriously. However, my experience has been one of extreme professionalism, seriousness and attentiveness. With that said, Emil also expects seriousness from my side and that is also what helps me to stay motivated.

I started with Emil just over a year ago, after having tried CrossFit for a few months. After having practiced the gymnastic movements on my own, I soon realised that I'd need 1-1 coaching if I was going to learn the proper technique from the start. In the beginning I asked Emil for help primarily for my bar muscle ups and to learn how to walk on my hands. With his help I saw quick improvement, and also the value of having a coach that I could meet with on a weekly basis to improve my gymnastics and recieve training specifically for my needs. My experience on a generic program was that I didn't improve as quickly since the training either wasn't hard enough or was way above my current level. With all of this in mind I decided to start as an on-site athlete with Emil and my rate of improvement as only increased since then. One of the main reasons for my quick improvement is that Emil is the type of coach who always looks for where we can optimise and he's ambitious and believes in me. He sets high standards and tough goals, but also helps you find the right path to achieving them.

I've had the pleasure of working with Emil as my CrossFit coach since 2021, and I can confidently say that he's not just any coach - he's an exceptional one. Emil's dedication to his craft is truly inspiring. He's constantly seeking to expand his knowledge and skills, always striving to be the best coach he can be for his athletes. One of the things that sets Emil apart is the level of trust he builds with his athletes. Trust is paramount in any coaching relationship, and with Emil, I trust him implicitly. This trust allows me to focus completely on my training, knowing that he's building the perfect program for me. He doesn't just consider my strengths and weaknesses; he takes into account how I function as both an athlete and a person, tailoring the program to suit me perfectly. Emil doesn't just stop at the basics either. He goes the extra mile, tracking multiple data points to ensure that we're seeing results in my training. Whether it's seeking out expert knowledge on different aspects of CrossFit or analyzing every detail of my performance, Emil is always looking for ways to optimize my training experience. Overall, I couldn't give a higher recommendation for Emil as a coach. He's positive, down-to-earth, and incredibly hard-working. With Emil by your side, you can be sure that you'll not only reach your goals but surpass them. NEVER did I imagine I would qualify for the Games. If you're looking for a coach who genuinely cares about your success and will stop at nothing to help you achieve it, look no further than Emil.

I have been with Apex Athletics for well over a year now, and my honest opinion is that Emil is an excellent coach for several reasons. An obvious one is of course his programming which has given me several PRs, has taught me how to string muscle ups together, walk on my hands and so many other things, but Emil is as much a good coach for all the things that happens outside the floor, particularly for three reasons I would like to elaborate on: 1. Emil is passionate, analytic and eager to learn - he will grind as much as you do with your training with books, YouTube clips, data and videos of you in order to find the exact drill that will help you progress. 2. He has got your back and he knows when to push and when to let you off the hook - this is particularly a great sparring in times of injury which is the most frustrating time for an athlete. 3. He creates a space for reflection. About all sorts of things but particularly for setting goals and evaluating performance which, in my opinion, foster great athletes. Pursuit Training is all in all great to have in your corner, to celebrate victory, monitor progress, keep you grinding and most importantly laugh when you look ridiculous trying to perform a drill.

Emil is able to coach athletes at all levels, and he especially has a great understanding for the gymnastics involved in CrossFit. Emil is always looking to continue education himself in his pursuit to help his athletes improve.
