Barbell
Originally from Italy, Matteo grew up in Belgium and started attending Friskis Jympa sessions back in 2017 and has been hooked on it ever since. He enjoys the relaxed attitude at Friskis of exercising without pressure while trying to execute the workouts in the best way possible. He finds that this creates two different feelings: release of pressure and a gain in energy, all in a multicultural environment with participants and volunteers from all over the world. Now that he's an instructor he enjoys recreating for participants that great feeling of belonging, osmosis and energy that he always experienced during and after a Friskis session.
His favorite Friskis memory (so far) was from his time in Stockholm when the instructors would "reward" the candidate-instructors by giving them a surprise jympa session. Although most of the candidates did now know each other and had never had a session with those instructors, those sessions immediately created a perfect symphonic feeling among the group. It was as if they had all been attending the same session for years. It is a great example of the bonding element found in Friskis sessions.
His motto in life could easily be another motto for Friskis: "Give the best in everything you do and remember to enjoy the process."
Come and join him for one of our Barbell sessions. You won't regret it!
