I know it's cool to have something written about yourself in the third person, but I figured after so many years of introducing myself to new workout-partners I might just as well introduce myself on my own website.

Born on 7 November 1973, I'm originally from the sunny Dutch Latin-Caribbean islands of Aruba & Curacao.

Like most Dutch-Caribbean students, I left the Caribbean, families and friends behind at the age of 21 to do further studies in Holland. I lived in Eindhoven, where I studied and worked for more than 10 years. Before moving to Europe I've always been interested in art and design. I worked as a Multimedia Graphic Designer in Holland for several years, but always enjoyed the gym and sport as a hobby.

My ambition for exercise and nutrition started way back in 1995 at the PSV Football Stadium Fitness Club in Eindhoven Holland. I love to travel - whenever I get the opportunity, I head off to a new destination where I tend to visit gyms and other personal trainers to exchange knowledge and new techniques. Other sports interests include skydiving, snowboarding, in-line skating, boxercise and swimming.

The high rate of obesity in the UK inspired me in 2005 to pursue my passion in the Health and Fitness Industry. Today I'm a successfully qualified independent Level 3 Premier Training International Personal Trainer and Sports Massage Therapist graduated in the UK and based in the beautiful medieval town of Shrewsbury in Shropshire.

I'm fully licensed, insured and member of the Register of Exercise Professionals here in the UK. This means I follow all the latest thinking and use specialist knowledge based on scientific research. In short, I mix knowledge based on scientific research and years of practice and experience to make a powerful combination.

A personal trainer provides a service tailored to the individual's specific personal needs, whereas a Fitness Instructor often offers guidance and start-up help only. A Personal Trainer therefore provides a much higher level of personal attention and long-term commitment. There is a high level of confidence and trust involved between the two. Hence the reason I personally prefer to refer to people I work with as workout-partners, rather than clients or customers.

I can certainly help pushing you to the next level of fitness and make sure every second of your workout is working for you. I'll give you specialist advice on nutrition and on lifestyle changes to help you achieve your goals even faster. So if you are serious about working out get in touch for a free and uncompromised consultation.

Cheers,
Giovanni
