Jorge's Background & Interests

Background

I have been working within the fitness industry for about 15 years. I began as a gym instructor and aerobics teacher. I was also a break dance champion, which lead me into teaching classes, and then on to personal training. Before moving to the U.K I owned and managed a gym in Portugal.

I was the senior consultant on one of the biggest GP referral schemes in the U.K. My role was to assess, train, and design safe and effective programmes for people with different conditions, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, back pain and postural problems. I specialise in weight training, weight loss, fitness appraisal and testing.

From rap stars, catwalk models, marathon runners, and weight loss clients to customers with any special needs, my years in the fitness industry have allowed me to work with many different people.

Interests

My hobbies include keeping up-to-date with the fitness industry, basketball, martial arts, weight training, running, dancing, reading, playing guitar and song writing.
