About me

Sport has been part of me for as long as I can remember

I represented my school and my high school in running, short and long distance, and I played football and basketball, did long jump and shot put. I was always part of a team.

When I started training in the gym, I wanted to understand what really works and why. So I went and studied it, and graduated from the Wingate coaching school with honors.

For five years I've been coaching people toward their own goals: building muscle mass, losing body fat, and correct training technique to prevent injuries and pain. The goal is always the same: a strong body that lasts for years, with healthy joints.

In 2024, at 40, I wanted a challenge. I prepared myself, stepped on stage at a WNBF natural bodybuilding competition and took third place in Classic Physique.

How I work

Quality over quantity.

A short, intense session with the right technique does more than a long, scattered one. That's why my programs are built for people without many days a week or much time a day: parents, people with demanding jobs, and anyone who wants results without living at the gym.

Most sessions happen at the gym, but you can also train with me outdoors or at home, with whatever equipment you have.

At the gymFull equipment
OutdoorsA park, a court, whatever is close to you
At homeA little equipment or none at all
