Humberto has been my personal trainer for some time now, and I've truly appreciated the personalized workouts he crafts for me. He's incredibly knowledgeable about health and nutrition, which is one of his strengths that stands out to me. Not only does he excel in personal training, but he's also great to talk to—a real boost during our sessions. He's flexible enough to conduct training at my home, which makes things so convenient. Although sometimes he talks a bit too much during our sessions, it's part of what makes him personable and easy to get along with. Humberto knows a lot about holistic approaches, proper nutrition and creating effective workouts tailored just for you. One thing though—while I understand the traffic issues can be a hassle, Humberto isn't always punctual. But overall, his professionalism and friendly demeanor more than make up for it. With his help, I've been able to meet my fitness goals consistently.

Exploring fitness with Mike has been a notably positive journey. He's incredibly professional and super flexible, which fits perfectly with my busy schedule. His approach is personalized, focusing on both diet and customized workout plans to help me achieve my goals. For instance, when dips hurt my arm, Mike found an alternative exercise targeting the same muscles without discomfort. He provides consistent and helpful feedback, using an app to track my progress and adjust workouts as needed. Overall, my experience so far has been great and I am satisfied!

Working with Dylan as my fitness trainer over the past six months has been incredibly rewarding. His motivational and supportive nature kept me going, even on days when I felt like giving up due to my busy schedule. I managed to lose nine kilos in just three months, thanks in part to his easy-to-follow, diverse meal program. Unlike the monotonous plans I've had before, Dylan's was refreshing and enjoyable. Preparing for my first marathon in October, I'm grateful for his personalized approach to workouts, tailored precisely to my needs as someone in their 50s. Despite the distance, as I train remotely from South Africa, his prompt communication ensures I always feel supported. His services have far exceeded my expectations compared to other trainers, and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking comprehensive and age-appropriate fitness guidance.

Embarking on my post-birth fitness journey with Dylan Pieterse was a game changer. His flexibility and understanding stood out immediately—he never charged for a missed session and adjusted plans to accommodate my new lifestyle as a mom. Unlike the strict military-style trainers, Dylan’s approach was supportive and tailored, which was exactly what I needed. The changes in my body were noticeable after just a few sessions, prompting me to up my visits from once to three times a week. Dylan's expertise, underscored by his rugby background, was evident in the personalized nutrition plans that guided me without the guesswork. His gym is a refreshing change from crowded commercial spaces, and communication through WhatsApp was seamless. The costs reflect the exceptional, individualized service provided, making it worth every cent.

I've been training with Nicola Bailey from BodyTone for three years now, and it's been a game-changer. I started because I wanted to get fitter, shed some pounds, and have more structure in my workouts—especially as things start changing with age. Nicola has been brilliant; she's truly changed my life. We usually meet twice or even three times a week for one-on-one sessions at the gym in my condo. After a bad accident in March, I was worried about losing progress, but Nicola was amazing. She adapted everything to keep me on track without aggravating my injury. Even when I travel, she provides plans so that I maintain strength and don't gain weight back. Nicola's not just about the workouts; she offers nutritional advice too if you need it. What stands out is her responsiveness—she's super easy to contact and checks in on me when I'm away. You can tell she genuinely cares—it feels like more than just a job to her.

Humberto from Humberto Dantas has been my personal trainer for the past three months, and I must say, his approach to fitness is exactly what I needed. Despite my medical conditions and occasional pains, he customizes each session to accommodate my needs while still encouraging me to push myself in a comfortable way. His attention to detail is impeccable, especially when it comes to correcting my posture and teaching me good habits. Our workouts are never dull since he ensures every session is different. Even when we can't meet at the gym and have to switch to online training, his guidance remains consistent. With Humberto's help, I've been able not only to stick with a consistent workout routine but also develop the mental habits necessary for long-term fitness success. We've recently started discussing nutrition more seriously, and his advice has been insightful without unnecessary chatter – just how I prefer it. He's respectful of my time too; always reaching out proactively to schedule our sessions. Overall, thanks to Humberto's personalized training approach and sustainable methods of progression, I'm steadily achieving my fitness goals. He came highly recommended to me, and now I see why – he truly listens and adapts each workout intelligently based on progress and feedback.

Why we created Locallista?
As expats, we understand how overwhelming it can be to settle into a new city, where even simple tasks become difficult without a network, complicated by language barriers and cultural differences. That’s why we created Locallista — a closed platform where expats connect with trusted service providers recommended by the community, ensuring clear communication in English or their native languages, making life easier.
