METHODOLOGY
For Manu PT, Personal training style is different from one customer to another one. He doesn't like showing up the latest cool equipment, copying the influencer's diet or the best excercise. He will never promise the best body in 1 week, the top level with 1 magic potion, the 10' x week plan to lose weight. Every plan will be tailored based on the individual needs, it will take perseverance, follow certain rules monitored daily, a long journey that could give results in 1 month or in 1 year. Science will be applied on the human physiology, so no escapes or fast fake results. The core of his methodology will be the trust and motivations between Manu PT and the individual, a side to side way with 24hours consultation, because results (whatever they are) can be achieved only if the objectives and mental approach will be clear. Many diets and fitness plans are failing because the motivations are poor and the goals/feedbacks are not monitored! Don't trust in magic machines to lose weight, weird garments to sweat fat (impossible!), ridiculous 10' light exercises.... For that, Manu PT can promise you the best reliability, support, and encouragement to succeed in your goals. Free body exercises, easy open air cardio, post injury appropriate exercises, correct movements execution, balanced health and food lifestyle, seem so easy but a correct planification is the secret!
MUSCLES
Weightlifting, Body building, Tonification, Performance, Post surgery....Many different workouts tailored to your specific objective, following a scientific approach, not just the latest commercial equipment.
CARDIO
Cardio trainings are targeting weight loss, cardio pulmonary, endurance, performance. Each of them will follow specific workouts, with different intensities based on the starting points to the objectives
SPECIAL NEEDS
Training without an appropriate body check and with a generic workout could lead to aches and muscles pain...As well healing after an injury or a surgery, or bad habits like sedentary people require a highly individualized schedule, because we all have different needs....
ALL AGES
Physical activity is the best medicine, it's well recognized. So it's never too late to start training, in elderly age, or puberty, we just need additional care in training sessions, in order to avoid dangerous exercises, and to begin from a fair level. Starting is the first step to improve and feel better!
HEALTH AND FOOD COUSELING
Wellness and performance are not just few hours working out x week... are a way of living linked to the rest of the day activities! So food intake have a huge importance in your health, whatever are your objectives. If you need extra-energy for a race, or lose weight, or feel better, eating plays a fundamental role in you success!

I just wanted to feel stronger and add muscles, in 6 months I completely got my target, reducing body fat % and increasing lean mass by 3kilos. Manu PT has always been fair with me, without false expectations like "change your body easily and quick". He has been a great support during this pathway.
