One of the questions I get most often is this:
Cristiano, is it better to train with you at the gym or remotely?
The honest answer is that it depends.
On your goal, your experience, your routine and even your personality.
Let me explain how each format works so you can choose clearly.
In-person training
In person, I'm by your side in every session.
I train clients at VivaGym Cascais, one-to-one or in pairs, at the Evolution Performance Center, and also at their homes.
This format is ideal if:
- You're starting out and haven't mastered exercise technique yet.
- You have a limitation or injury history that needs extra attention.
- You need someone to push you and keep you committed.
- You like the gym environment and having your session guided from start to finish.
The big advantage is real-time correction.
I see your posture, adjust the load on the spot and adapt the session to how you feel that day.
Every rep counts. So does the coaching.
Training with a partner
At VivaGym Cascais you can also train in pairs.
It's a great option for couples, friends or colleagues who want to motivate each other.
The training is still adapted to each person.
And the cost is shared.
Online coaching
Online, you get a plan built around your routine, your level and the equipment you have.
It can be at a gym, at home or even outdoors.
This format is ideal if:
- You live far from Cascais or outside Portugal.
- You have irregular hours and need flexibility.
- You already have some training experience and want guidance to progress.
- You value independence but don't want to train blind.
We track your progress and adjust the plan along the way.
That way, your training never stands still.
And if I still don't know which to choose?
You don't have to decide alone.
That's exactly what the first chat is for.
We talk about your goal, your routine and your history.
Then I suggest the format that makes the most sense for you.
No commitment.
If you want to train in Cascais, send CASCAIS by message.
If you prefer remote coaching, send ONLINE.
If you're still unsure, just send START.
