Let’s get to know him…
All About Costa – Head Coach & Club Manager
Describe your job in three words:
Fun, Empowering, Fulfilling
What do you love about personal training/coaching?
Helping people discover how strong and fit they can be, seeing their journey from the start and how their confidence has grown and believing in themselves.
How did you get into personal training/coaching?
Having always been involved in sports my whole life, it was always something I wanted to do. It’s the next best thing to playing / fighting, you can have a huge impact on people / children by coaching and caring about the people you coach.
What benefits do you bring as a coach to your clients?
I hope to think that I give my clients an environment where they can express themselves. It might be the only hour they get during the week, so hopefully, it’s one they can relax, and dare I say, enjoy their training! It’s about how you make someone feel when they’re leaving the gym, both physically and mentally!
I also like to think I can bring experience from a few different sports in the process. Having been in sports my whole life, it has allowed me to travel, play in different countries, and I’ve been around different types of people, and cultures and to understand how they train.
What are the best parts about being on the BSBC team?
That we all care.
What is the most important thing PT clients should know?
- Everyone feels fear when they first walk into a gym, those emotions will settle!
- Be your true and ultimate self when training. Sing, dance, or cry your way through a session. Our gym is a place where you can be comfortable.
If you didn’t work with BSBC, what would you be doing?
Still coaching! Contributing to people’s fitness journeys. Although BSBC has given me the opportunity to impact more adults and children!
Who is someone you really admire?
My Dad
Tell us a fun fact/secret about you:
