#Movement

1

Born in Italy, transplanted to Switzerland, I live and work in Zurich. Being active has always been the cornerstone of my life, the hinge around which I have built my entirely personal and, above all, professional career. After almost ten years dedicated to team sports, I got to know Capoeira, which was the first real approach to the study of movement and the first individual discipline I approached. However, thanks to my love for Kung Fu and martial arts, I was able to reach the pinnacle of my competitive activity, winning the Italian Wushu Cup in 2012.

A back injury prematurely interrupted my competitive career, and it was on this occasion that I re-evaluated the purpose and meaning of training.
Curiosity and the desire to learn more about the principles that govern movement and the human body led me to enrol in the Faculty of Sport Sciences, thus determining the transition from an athlete to a coach.

I started taking care of people first as a private trainer and then as an athletic trainer for the armed forces until I finished my experience as a personal trainer in Italy for the Forte Village Resort spa.

In 2018, I moved to Zurich and started working as an exclusive Personal Trainer, punctually devoting myself to the physical preparation of a single person, constantly following the progress and the achievement of the goals set at the beginning of the journey. As this was an exclusive and personal service, I have had the opportunity to accompany my client on numerous business trips that have allowed me to meet different professionals and come into contact with heterogeneous realities, thus allowing my method to enrich and develop until it reached its current form, which is constantly evolving.

My experience first as an athlete and then as a trainer, with the sports medicine skills I acquired at university and my ongoing training, allow me to understand and correctly interpret my clients’ needs, helping them to become aware of their bodies and to introduce physical activity into their lives, thus making their everyday life healthier and more balanced.
