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.

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.

I've been working with Nicola Bailey from BodyTone for a while now, and I can honestly say she's fantastic. As a woman over 50, safety is key for me, and I feel very secure with her. I started out joining a group exercise session once a week that Nicola organized back around 2018 or 2019 and liked her approach so much that I asked her to be my personal trainer. She used to come to my house every Tuesday until the pandemic forced us online – which worked out just fine too. Recently, after moving to Óbidos and missing regular exercise, I reached back out to resume training with her virtually. Nicola is incredibly supportive; she checks in between sessions to see how you're feeling. Adapting workouts based on my goals has always been part of the process – first it was gaining muscle, now it's weight loss. While nutrition advice is available upon request, our focus is primarily on the workouts as per our agreement. Working with Nicola has made meeting my fitness goals much more attainable and enjoyable!

Pierre from Fighting Yogi Training was a real game-changer for my weight loss journey. He was patient and tailored the workouts to fit my pace, which made me feel comfortable and motivated. His expertise in fitness training was evident as he explained each exercise's purpose and how it would help me reach my goals. The sessions were challenging but never overwhelming, striking the right balance to keep pushing me forward. I appreciated his encouragement throughout the process and have seen significant results. Would definitely recommend Pierre if you're serious about losing weight and improving your fitness!

I've been training with Elise for three years now, starting face-to-face and moving to online sessions. She's an excellent Pilates instructor who tailors workouts to my needs, especially considering my knee and hip issues. Her exercises leave me feeling more flexible without aggravating my problems. Elise is knowledgeable not just about Pilates but also gives advice on supplements and nutrition that complement the exercises. What really stands out is her attention to detail and clear explanations in perfect English; I understand every movement and its purpose. The value for money is unbeatable – she brings a wealth of experience that shows in her personalized approach. At the beginning of each session, she checks in on how I'm feeling, ensuring a workout that's right for me that day. She might be overqualified, but as her client, I reap all the benefits!

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.
