A home away
from home.

If you knew me at school, I was a chubby, overweight, shy kid who was always the last one picked for teams. I never liked sports, but during that time I discovered my outlet: weight training.

In the gym I lost weight, worked on my physique and fitness, and watched my confidence and self-esteem rise. After winning the INBA championships in 2013, first place in Men’s Fitness modelling, my focus moved from huge muscles and washboard abs towards functional training.

Competing taught me discipline and dedication towards achieving goals. That is what I bring to every session.

Growing up in Brazil I was always the active kid, but my own fitness journey began in 2014 when I decided to put my health first. A few simple changes to my diet and I lost 9kg on my own.

I came to Australia in 2016 to study everything related to fitness, and since 2017 I have coached in gyms across the country, soaking up as much knowledge as I could.

My goal is to help you reach a happy, well-balanced lifestyle that lowers the risk of future health issues.

Basketball was my first love. I became a coach and trained players who went on to sign Division One contracts.

I fell for weight training along the way and learned the hard way, with a back injury, how much proper form and technique matter. That long road back gave my training structure.

Since joining Studio 84 I have found it so rewarding to watch members break through their plateaus and reach their physical best.

Growing up I was not always the confident kid. I faced a lot of bullying in my early teens, and that pushed me to find strength, physically and mentally, through sport and martial arts.

Martial arts taught me discipline, respect and focus. I went on to earn black belts in both Kung Fu and Sanda, then studied Physical Education at university to understand the science behind movement.

My goal as a coach is simple: share everything I have learned to help you build confidence, resilience and a healthy lifestyle that lasts.
