Coaching grounded in exercise science
Programming draws on published exercise science, rehabilitation principles and a decade of coaching practice — not fashionable templates.

What you get

Local personal training
Training built for Tarragona
Tarragona is the regional capital — a working Mediterranean port, a university town and a UNESCO World Heritage site for its Roman remains. The fitness market here is more developed and a bit more demanding than the resort coast: clients tend to expect strong credentials, clear programming and a coaching style that respects their time.
Part Alta and the Roman quarter
The Roman amphitheatre, circus and walls give beautiful, varied training corridors — quiet stairs and inclines for conditioning, flat squares for technique work and a serious sense of place that suits long-term clients.
Balcó del Mediterrani & seafront
The Balcó, the Rambla Nova and the seafront down to Platja del Miracle give a flat, predictable training corridor — useful for running progressions, walking lactate work and lower-impact strength sessions.
University & professional client base
A lot of academic and professional clients — researchers, doctors, engineers — who respond well to explanation, evidence and structured progress. Coaching style is honest, science-based and not gimmicky.
Twelve minutes from Salou, twenty from Cambrils
Tarragona is close enough to Salou and Cambrils that clients can move between addresses, mix home and outdoor sessions, and combine personal training with weekend small-group work on the coast.

Yes. Many of my Tarragona clients are international researchers, students and staff. Sessions run in English by default if you prefer, and we mix in Spanish or German where it helps.
