01 / ABOUT
Training with measurement,
purpose and a human approach.
I am Ioannis Tsakogiannis, founder of Efficacy, a physical education professional, personal trainer and beach volleyball coach, with more than 17 years of professional experience in exercise and education.
I am a graduate of the School of Physical Education and Sport Science at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and hold a master’s degree in Exercise and Quality of Life from Democritus University of Thrace.
Since 2007, I have worked in individualized exercise at Human, while since 2018 I have been involved in the education and mentoring of new personal trainers at H.N.F.C. At the same time, as a beach volleyball coach and founder of Pokey Beach Volley Academy, I combine physical development with technical training, performance and the athlete’s long-term progression.
I created Efficacy to bring together exercise science, coaching experience and meaningful individualization. My approach always begins with an assessment of the person, their history, needs and goals. This is followed by planning, training, progress monitoring and reassessment.
I believe exercise should have a clear direction, adapt to each individual and lead to results that can be evaluated and sustained over time.
Assess. Plan. Train. Reassess.

04 / EFFICACY ASSESSMENT
We do not begin
with assumptions.
The assessment captures readiness, mobility, movement control, strength and physical capacity. It does not reduce a person to an arbitrary overall score; it creates an individual profile with the three most important findings, priorities for the next 4–6 weeks and a clear reassessment plan.

06 / FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Before we take
the first step.
Clear answers about assessment, training and the way we work together.
What happens during the first assessment?
We begin with a conversation about your history, needs and goals. Appropriate measurements and tests then help create an individual profile and a clear set of priorities.
Who is Efficacy for?
It is for people seeking individualized exercise, better movement and physical fitness, athletes pursuing performance development, and trainers looking for evidence-informed education.
Do I need previous exercise experience?
No. The starting point, progression and level of difficulty are adapted to each person’s experience, abilities and needs.
Is online coaching available?
Yes. Online coaching includes an initial review of your needs and goals, an individualized programme, guidance and regular progress monitoring.
How often will I be reassessed?
The schedule depends on your goal and programme. An initial 4–6-week cycle is commonly established, followed by the appropriate measurements to guide the next adjustments.
How does exercise for special populations work?
The programme is designed around the individual’s history, health status and daily needs. Medical clearance and collaboration with the relevant healthcare team are requested when appropriate. Exercise services do not replace medical diagnosis or treatment.
Where do sessions take place?
Services are available in Thessaloniki, at an agreed location depending on the collaboration, and online for people based elsewhere.
