Introduction

I help people age with autonomy, independence, power and grace. You took care of many, time to take care of yourself. I specialize in people who are 50 and older, teaching how to prioritize themselves again. People who dedicated most of their lives to their families, demanding jobs, had other priorities but now decided to refocus their energy towards self-care and need guidance. I am a certified and insured Personal Trainer, Yoga and Tai Chi Chuan, Reiki Healer with over 12 years of experience around Brazil, Canada and U.S.A. I will help you to: - Exercise properly to avoid injuries. - Make conscious choices on your diet. - Improve your posture and patterns so you get rid of pain. - Realize that getting in shape doesn’t require crazy diets and workouts. That things can be done in a responsible and efficient way, respecting your individuality. - Change your body and most important: to keep the changes. My areas on fitness are: - Weight training, TRX, functional training and HIIT. - Private Yoga and Tai Chi Chuan. - Nutrition plans. - Online Programs. - Reiki Healing. Contact me to schedule a meeting (at no cost) so we can talk about your goals and see if we are a match to work together. See you soon, Gil Correa

Q&A

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

Get to know them. Their expectations, fears and dreams. That helps to build a whole training that prioritize their individualities, making it easier to achieve their goals.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I have a 5 year degree in physical education from Brazil where I lived most of my life. It's different from P.E IN USA, it's a course where you study physiology, anatomy, kinesiology, training and a lot of other subjects related to physical activities, fitness and wellness. I also got certified in Canada and U.S for training and weight management. I also have other certifications such as groups classes(yoga, spinning and etc), kettlebell, TRX and also energy healing.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I have been always into exercises since I started doing martial arts. I was an overweight kid who wanted to lose weight and did not know how, as I started to do martial arts during my 15 years, my body started to change. I began to dig more in the martial arts world, learning Karate, Kung Fu and Tai Chi Chuan which leaded me to a university and a degree in the area of kinesiology, sports science, training, fitness and wellness. My degree gave me a whole new world when I started to work in a Gym, studying and practicing weight training, group classes, pilates and yoga, so as gymnastics and circus activities. I like working with people, helping them to achieve their goals, watch them change their attitude, mind and body in the process and see that they are enjoying what they are doing.

What types of customers have you worked with?

Mostly I have people that wants to lose weight and increase muscle size and after that we see people that wants to get conditioned, feel better, with more energy and also people that wants to get heathier and improve flexibility.. Some of those people comes with injuries or special conditions (knee pain or arthritis, for example) and we are able to work through it and make it better. The good thing is that not matter what their goals are, they are going to get a little of everything during a session.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Meet with the trainer first, talk to him in person, look for a connection. It's a journey and a relationship, you wanna make sure that both of you are listening to each other and doing your best to make your goals happen.
