Get to know Rafael better with these Q&As to see why he chose to study with Future Fit Training, and how fitness has changed his life…
I think when I started to realise that with dedication, I could have success in capoeira. I never planned a career in capoeira, but I trained hard, kept developing my work and it all happened in a very natural way.
Bruce Lee – I love the way he thinks about movement and how he can transform movement in a split second.
I think it will be an amazing opportunity to open new doors into the fitness industry and to combine my experience and all my knowledge with new specialist fitness knowledge. I hope it will enable me to work in new places and reach more people to share my passion and skills.
Prepare yourself, overcome your fears, study, and learn from great people, get experience and training in a place where you really feel good and take your time, there’s no rush.
I don’t have a favourite – I enjoy mixing things up and trying new things. The most important thing is that I feel good during and after training. I do love training acrobatic movements too!
Both, but I’m really more excited to get involved in this new world!
Rice and beans with beef steak with lots of onions! This is a Brazilian style meal and my mum makes it the best!
To be able to disappear and reappear in different places in an instant so I could travel the world whenever I wanted!
Fitness has always been a big part of my life – I started sports at a very young age and was a very active child. To play capoeira you need full-body fitness so this has always been part of my training. In the last few years, I have become more aware of and interested in the fitness industry and what it can offer to me.
