JOÃO
Fitness & Health Coach
I used to dread sports and anything related to physical activity when I was a kid.
At the age of 12 I was overweight, overly shy and overwhelmed with guilt for being the way I was.
It wasn't until I discovered fitness that I understood there was something I could do to gain control of my health. That if I dedicated some of my time and effort to moving more and eating better, I could change my body (and mind)!
First, I took up swimming lessons - one of the activities I dreaded the most - later, I began cycling and in my mid-teens I found out that I really enjoyed running. These activities made me feel so much better and more comfortable in my own skin.
When I was at university, I finally had the courage to take part my first group fitness class. This was a big step out of my comfort zone, but I found out that it was so much fun!
Fitness changed my life, and I want to show you how it can change yours too.
I bring all my passion and expertise to #fit_r's virtual exclusive programs, available online and in-person, designed to give you the best results and that special feeling of mission accomplished after each workout.
