How Did You Get Started?

I went to the gym with a friend who was interested at that time in gym training and I liked it from the start. I loved the days when I was in the gym and the feeling after working out. Since then I have decided and I pursued a career in the industry as trainer, competitor, and model. I traveled the world with my profession and have worked in Europe, Middle East and Australia too as personal trainer and fitness professional.
