One of the reasons why Brazilian personal trainers are considered so good is their academic background.
According to the Brazilian Association of Gyms (ACAD Brasil), a degree in Physical Education is mandatory to practice the profession in the country. This ensures that professionals have both theoretical and practical knowledge to prescribe exercises safely and efficiently.
Another positive point is Brazil’s cultural diversity.
According to personal trainer Felipe Franco, in an interview for G1 (2020), Brazilian miscegenation creates a great variety of body types. This makes personal trainers adapt to different types of bodies and needs.
In addition, Brazilian personal trainers have a more holistic approach to health and fitness, as indicated by a study conducted by the University of São Paulo (USP) in 2020. Professionals seek to understand each client’s individual needs. They take into account not only physical activity but also nutrition, sleep, and stress, for example.
Another difference of Brazilian personal trainers is their ability to motivate and inspire their clients.
According to personal trainer Rodrigo Sangion, in an interview for Vogue (2021), the emotional closeness that Brazilians have with physical activity is one of the reasons why Brazilian personal trainers are so good at motivating their clients.
Finally, it is important to emphasize that the quality of personal trainers in Brazil is also related to the market’s demand.
According to ACAD Brasil, the gym market has been growing increasingly in the country, which makes professionals need to be always updated and qualified to offer quality services.
In summary, Brazilian personal trainers stand out in the market for their academic background, cultural diversity, holistic approach to health and fitness, motivational skills, and market demand. These characteristics make Brazilian professionals considered some of the best in the world.
