Daniel Kluken is a renowned Level 3 Wim Hof Method instructor based in Noord-Holland, Netherlands. His extensive experience includes leading the first significant winter travels with Wim Hof and conducting 25 expeditions globally. Kluken has educated people from over 40 countries in the Wim Hof Method and other peak performance strategies, encompassing a wide range of individuals, from TV stars and politicians to millionaires and top athletes. He plays a pivotal role at the Wim Hof Method academy as a trainer of new instructors, ensuring that the legacy and effectiveness of the method are perpetuated through high-quality teaching.
Kluken's journey into the world of peak performance and the Wim Hof Method began after a significant life change in 2012 when he decided to sell his possessions and dedicate himself to researching the science and mental attitudes of modern-day superheroes. This exploration led him to work with and learn from luminaries in various fields, including John Grinder, Tony Robbins, Andy Harrington, and monks who have spent years in meditation. Through these experiences, Kluken has identified patterns of excellence, which he shares with his clients and students, aiming to help them unlock their superpowers and live a legendary life.
His approach to teaching the Wim Hof Method is grounded in a practical, down-to-earth manner, focusing on the 'why,' 'how,' and 'what' of the techniques, ensuring that his students understand when and how to use the method effectively in different contexts, from sports to daily life. Kluken offers a range of ways to engage with his teachings, from attending events to applying for one-on-one mentorship, catering especially to executives, entrepreneurs, and professional athletes who are keen to excel in every area of their lives.
Daniel Kluken's philosophy of teaching and learning is inspired by the belief that a good teacher is a guide and a pointer to the truth that each student must find for themselves, a sentiment echoed in his admiration for Bruce Lee's educational ethos. This philosophy underpins the Inner Mountain Training programs he conducts with Ingvild Molenaar, blending the best of their diverse expertise to bring high-quality content to their participants. Together, they emphasize creating a safe and trusting space for individuals to grow into their true potential, balancing safety with challenge
