"Having to create habits to move forward, no matter what happens, is what is essential to keep the dream alive, no matter how many obstacles are on the way. I started ACFIT at the age of 21 as a way to expand my presence to help others improve their quality of life. ACFIT has evolved and changed, specializing in different stages of training, from military government individuals to celebrities and pro-athletes.", he said to VoyageDenver website.

"Success is a word that we play very often nowadays without a real meaning. It can mean being famous for Insta, rich, wearing the most expensive clothes and driving expensive cars. I thought success was measured by the amount of fame and money I could accumulate, but over time, I realized that whenever I bought something I originally thought was expensive, there would always be the next thing that was even more expensive."

"Today, I know that the quality that is most important to my own success is to feel useful to others. Success will require a lot of stress, a lot of time of darkness and a lot of time of uncertainty, but it is the path that forges us for better versions of ourselves," concludes the coach.
