As a former UFC and Japan Pride fighter, my body has been through a lot. I’ve trusted Tiago Lima with my training since 2008, and he’s consistently delivered. He doesn’t just push you; he understands the science of movement and recovery. He’s been invaluable in helping me adapt my training post-fighting career, providing alternatives that reduce stress on old injuries while still pushing me to improve. Thanks to Tiago’s expertise, I was even able to return to the world of Jiu-Jitsu after 20 years and win two gold medals at the recent 2025 IBJJF Miami International Open Jiu-Jitsu Championship. He’s helped me redefine what’s possible for my body, even after years in the cage.

After struggling with lung issues following a minor pulmonary edema, I felt like I had lost a part of my active lifestyle. Coach Lima not only understood my challenges but created a personalized fitness routine that directly targeted my recovery needs. His knowledge, patience, and support helped me regain strength and confidence. Thanks to him, I was able to return to playing basketball with more energy, stamina and strength. I’m incredibly grateful for his dedication and the care he put into my journey

I used to live a completely sedentary life, working 8 hours a day sitting down, barely moving, and absolutely hating weight training. Starting with Coach Lima was a turning point — he understands my limits, my preferences, and always adapts the exercises when needed. He puts so much care into each session, respects my pace, but still challenges me to keep improving. The workouts are great, and for the first time, I’m actually enjoying strength training! In just a short time, I’ve already started to feel stronger, more energetic, and I can see real changes in my body. Tiago closely tracks all my progress, replies super fast whenever I need support, and is always present to guide and motivate. Today, I feel more active, confident, and excited to keep going. So grateful, Coach, for making this journey not only possible but genuinely enjoyable!
