Joao S.

I have extensive experience coaching and training athletes across various levels, from beginners to advanced participants. My journey began at **BLUEFIT ACADEMIA**, where I personalized bodybuilding training and developed functional training circuits for diverse groups. I’ve also worked at **Fitpoint**, focusing on weight loss and mobility, which has given me a strong foundation in functional training.
Throughout my career, I’ve engaged with a wide age range, from young adults to seniors, adapting my approach to meet the unique needs of each demographic. For instance, my experience in swimming instruction at **Água Vida** allowed me to work with infants, beginners, and elderly individuals, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and motivated.
I hold several industry certifications, including a focus on Geriatric Training and specialized courses in functional training and swimming. This ongoing education reflects my commitment to staying current in the fitness industry and delivering the best results for my clients.

With my cheerful and creative approach, I can motivate and inspire athletes to achieve their goals. I thrive on innovation and a passion for quality of life, making me a valuable addition to any team dedicated to well-being!

While my primary focus has been on coaching and training others, I have achieved personal athletic accomplishments that reflect my dedication and passion for fitness. I have participated in various local competitions and events, particularly in functional training and swimming, where I honed my skills and showcased my commitment to excellence.

I have a rich background in competitive swimming, having competed at both the high school and collegiate levels. In high school, I specialized in the 50m freestyle, 50m breaststroke, and participated in the 4x50m freestyle relay as well as the medley relay, where I swam breaststroke. I achieved several notable accomplishments during this time, showcasing my dedication and skill in the pool.
At the collegiate level, I continued to compete, focusing on the 50m and 100m events in both breaststroke and freestyle. Although I didn't participate in relays at this level, I still earned various accolades that reflect my commitment to excellence in swimming.
I believe that my journey—combined with my ability to motivate and inspire others—makes me uniquely qualified to help athletes achieve their highest potential, whether in competitions or personal fitness goals.

During a typical session with me, clients can expect a dynamic and tailored workout that focuses on their individual goals and needs. I prioritize creating a motivating and engaging environment, ensuring that each athlete feels supported and challenged.
Overall, my sessions are designed to be fun, effective, and educational. I believe in fostering a positive atmosphere where athletes can thrive and achieve their goals. For more insights into my coaching style and client experiences, you can check out my Instagram @jp.personaltrainer.
