My Story

NASM Certified Personal Training
NZIS Level 4 Health and Fitness Personal Trainer
Post Graduate in Sports Training (UNIGUAÇU - Brazil)

Olá! Meu nome é Diego Mafra Salles. I was born and raised in Curitiba, Brazil.

My journey in training began at a young age with a deep passion for sports. I found interest in swimming and basketball until I stepped into a gym for the first time at age 15 - I had found my spiritual house. I’d eventually find martial arts and got hooked in jiu-jitsu, muay thai, and boxing. Later on, I felt the need to address the mind in the same way I approached my body, leading me to incorporate yoga into my routine.

As a former lawyer in Brazil, I’ve spent many years navigating the corporate landscape and intimately understand the challenges of balancing a demanding job with maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The relentless stress, sedentary hours, and erratic schedule took a toll on my well-being, leading me to seek a transformative path towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.

In 2017, I decided to redefine my life’s trajectory by moving to New Zealand to study Adventure Tourism. This also reignited my passion for fitness, motivating me to become a personal trainer and share the transformative power of wellness with others.

Now a certified personal trainer, I specialise in holistic fitness programs tailored to individual needs, encompassing not just exercise, but mindset and lifestyle too. Whether you’re looking to lose weight, gain muscle, increase endurance or improve your wellbeing in general; I’m dedicated to helping you make your goal a reality. Let’s embark on this transformative fitness journey together, pushing boundaries, achieving milestones, and creating a healthier, happier version of yourself.
