Responsible Physical programs.
​
Professional physical trainer / Sport trainer
​
I have a degree in Physical Activity and Sports Sciences, a Master's degree in Training, I am a Mid-Mountain Guide and a Nutritional Advisor. All this because I value continuous training and I want to offer a great service to those who hire me.
Professionally, I have worked as a trainer in different centers (LUDE, Muévete Training, Macro Fit, BCP Personal Training, Health4Life) and with different methods (Bodybuilding, Running, Crossfit, Functional Training, Strength), being able (with a lot of effort and learning) to adapt the exercise to the specific needs of the person (because each one of us is unique).
Personally, I have been practicing different types of sports all my life, this has allowed me to acquire a more global vision and approach when it comes to training a person. However, strength training is the mainstay from which I design my sessions in synergy with mobility, stability, coordination, and more metabolic work.
For all these reasons, if you're looking for someone to help you start a healthy lifestyle, prepare for the physical tests for competitive exams, or improve your athletic performance, I believe I can be that person.
