MEET RICCARDO

Sport Scientist

KNOWLEDGE - EXPERTISE - EMPOWERMENT

"Do you want to know my way? Let's start from science."

My name is Riccardo and I am the founder of RiCardioPT (isn't that a brilliant name?).

Since I was little, sport has always been my life. Although, only after, it became my purpose.
Once I decided to be a personal trainer, I had to choose what kind of trainer I wanted to be. In front of me there were 2 options. Become a personal trainer in 10 weeks or get a master's degree in sports strength and conditioning. Well, long story short, I've chosen the longest and most rewarding way.

After 5 years of academic career, I graduated with the highest honors, learning a lot about the physiological and biochemical mechanisms of the human body. I studied nutrition, anatomy, biomechanics of movement, physiology, as well as the psychology underlying fitness.
Using my knowledge and experience gained in the fitness industry, I have helped countless people reach their maximum potential.

Okay, that's enough about me. You may probably ask yourself, is investing in a personal trainer a good move? It sure is!
Whether you're an experienced athlete looking for something new or an exercise novice intimidated by the gym, there are plenty of reasons to hire a trainer. Here I will tell you 8 reasons to hire me. I will help you:
