FITNESS BEYOND YOUR BODY

I trained with Gustavo for many years and it was impressive how my performance improved during this time. I like running and decided to do the Jungfrau marathon. Gustavo focused on my needs and it was a great experience. After that, I decided to run a half marathon with my daughter but I did not have much time to prepare for it. Again, Gustavo developed a specific training program that allowed me to get there in a short period of time. Gus is awesome.

The main transformation I had when I started training with Gustavo was to better understand my body and what I could do to improve my physical and emotional health. The support he gives us with his knowledge and individualised attention makes all the difference.

When I started training with Gustavo in 2015, I used to have chronic lower back pain which prevented me from doing some daily activities as well as practicing sports regularly, especially tennis. My goal was not only to be fit for sports but to stay healthy in the long run and prevent injuries.
It has been a long successful process based on discipline and consistency, which has promoted significant improvement in my posture and helped me to overcome my low back pain.

Gustavo transformed my relationship with fitness through his personality, knowledge, energy and commitment. I have never had a trainer for more than a few months before but, after over 8 years together, I am stronger, healthier, and very happy with my body and performance. Gustavo’s approach to health and fitness is multi faceted, I am so grateful for the positive impact he has made in my life.

With a long history of patellar chondromalacia I had got used to believe that pain was an inevitable consequence if i wanted to train and especially run. When I moved to London, Gustavo was highly recommended. I instantly connected with his scientific but also holistic approach and we started training before I unpacked the crates. The sessions were intense but also fun and creative. With slow and steady progress we faced and conquered my fears and realigned the body so I could have an enjoyable active life. Things I could never deem imaginable like carrying my child down the stairs without holding the handrail or running around in the playground are just automatic. Jogging pain free up and down the hill is a bonus.

I’ve met Gustavo for the first time in 2012, after suffering heavily from lower back pain. It took 2 sessions (and a lot of changes in my daily routine encouraged by Gustavo) and the pain stopped. Not only that, I tremendously enjoyed my fitness sessions with Gustavo and continue to see him ever since twice a week. Keeping me fit, healthy and happy - a true rock star. Thank you.

I have been training with Gustavo for 10 years. I credit him for having aged less than I should have during that time. I like his holistic approach to training, based on movements that solicit many different muscles groups simultaneously. I also find it very effective. Gustavo knows to find the right balance between working out hard and keeping it enjoyable. I used to have recurring back problems that have disappeared since I started to train with him. He has also helped me to break a sub-3 hours at the NY marathon, something I would not have achieved without his coaching. His deep academic and practical knowledge of the human body sets him apart from other trainers. I highly recommend him. You will not be disappointed.

I believe the most important aspect of Gustavo's work was to develop my body awareness. Having had lower back pain for as long as I can remember, I now understand what triggers my pain and how to avoiding it from happening. And when it fails he's always there to help me out.
Moreover, he's got a super creative spectrum of strengthening exercises, no boredom!
