Ville Isola
IFBB Nordic Academy is led by PhD researcher Ville Isola (M.Sc. Exercise Science, M.Mil.Sc.). His leadership bridges the gap between academic research and practical application.
Isola combines over a decade of coaching experience with rigorous academic work at the University of Jyväskylä. He also served as a Captain in the Finnish Defence Forces, managing soldier physical fitness.
He disseminates information based on data and physiology, not anecdote. Ville has coached numerous national champions and oversees nutritional strategies for top-tier athletes.
