Marcio Soares

“I have worked with complete beginners and all ages, to elite athletes, celebrities and even a music star! I believe in integrated work with our clients, and we partner with nutritionists, physiotherapists, sports therapists and other health professionals, meaning that all of our clients needs are supported with the latest expert advice and opinion.”

Marcio is a highly qualified and experienced Trainer, leading by example he regularly coaches in Olympic weight lifting. He also is a student of Capoeira, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, as well as classic boxing under the instruction of former British Heavyweight champion boxer Julius Francis.

“‘Freedom of movement and agility are the building blocks of all successful fitness levels. Being comfortable and coordinated in your movements is key. I often see people worried about running a certain distance or lifting a certain weight. The first step is to help our clients improve core strength and general stability, from here they can progress forward with correct form, preventing injury and improving posture. From this grounding our clients can get on their way to achieving their goals and eventually pushing and beating personal bests”

I’ve been in the fitness industry since 2005. Qualified in Yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi Personal Training, GP referral and level 4 exercise for people with obesity and diabetes

I have worked with people with special needs, but I also believe that each person has their own individual needs. I develop bespoke personal programmes for each client, depending on their requirements and fitness levels

My approach in training is to help you become physically and mentally healthier. I work alongside people to improve injuries, weaknesses or imbalances and to strengthen muscles in order to develop and maintain a good posture.  I introduce safe and sound patterns of movements for your back and joints, useful for everyday movements and for specific activities.

Quality versus quantity

The quality of each movement is more important than the quantity of moves, whether by repetition or weight loaded.

Variety versus specificity

Doing a specific repetitive exercise is known to cause injury and goes against nature.

Breathing: the soundtrack of your training.

All training should be performed in coordination with good breathing.  Training without good breathing can be dangerous and can influence the quality of your performance.
