Coach stefano’s Story
Coach Stefano has been passionate about sports since the age of 6 and began his strength training journey at 14.
Fitness quickly became much more than a hobby. It was the tool that helped him rebuild confidence after being bullied and marginalized at school, move away from unhealthy party habits, and develop the resilience and discipline needed to face life’s challenges.
In 2018, a lower back injury forced Stefano to stop training with weights. Determined to keep progressing, he discovered bodyweight training. What began as a solution quickly became a passion, eventually leading him to pursue coaching professionally.
As a coach, Stefano finds the greatest satisfaction in seeing his clients achieve their fitness goals and witnessing how these achievements positively impact their lives, just as fitness is transforming his own.
In 2021, Stefano went vegan after a powerful realization: as someone who had once experienced bullying, he recognized that he had been responsible for the oppression of other vulnerable beings. Understanding his responsibility as an adult with the strength to stand up for them, he became deeply involved in animal rights activism through street outreach. Together with members of the organization he is involved with, he shows the truth of animal exploitation, highlighting the contradiction between saying that animals should be respected while continuing to use them for human purposes. Since then, he has grown into one of the most influential voices in the movement.
