From a young age my parents pushed me into sports, first in swimming and then in the championship of football at the Olympiacos academies. From the age of 13 I started lifting weights, mainly circuit programs at the children’s club of OSPF. At 16 I became a professional football player and my love for sports led me to the Athens Kapodistrian University in the Department of Physical Education and Sports Science where I got my degree. My professional career in football continued with coaching in pro junior-amateur teams. My constant involvement with sports and nutrition through many different systems created the need for me to become particularly involved in Personal training. As a result of my desire for versatile and valid knowledge, I earned a degree from the American School of Personal Training, which changed everything for me in the way I train and approach athletes. Today, having already 10 years of experience in personal and personalized training, I am convinced that personal training is the most effective and safest way to get a healthy and strong body. But this requires the personal trainer to have a comprehensive education and a special sensitivity in approaching each athlete as an individual case . In all these years as a personal trainer, I have never stopped exercising myself and keeping up to date with the latest in sports and nutrition by applying it to all the people I take on. This is why my athletes always get the desired results without any injury. Personal training with me is a means to adopt the right way of taking care of your body for life.
