Hey, I'm Simone. Sport has always been a big part of my life and in 2015, I stumbled upon Functional Fitness which was an instant connection. I am now a Coach and incredibly proud to be a part of this community.

Hey, I’m Simone, originally from Italy, soaking up the vibrant energy of Bristol. Sport has always been a big part of my life; I played volleyball for many years and still hit the pool for a swim nowadays. By day, I navigate the financial realm as a marketing executive, but my heart truly belongs to Functional Fitness.

In 2015, I stumbled upon Functional Fitness, and it was an instant connection. It’s not just about the physical grind; it’s about the profound impact on how I feel. Functional Fitness is not just a sport or a workout; it’s my therapy. In a way, it saved me, and I decided to become a coach to help others experience that transformation.

For me, it’s not about achieving a specific physique; it’s about the mental and emotional empowerment that sports, especially Functional Fitness, can bring. If I can be a part of someone else’s journey to feeling better about themselves, I’m all in. And, of course, if we can sculpt some abs and big guns in the process, even better!

Valesco has been my fitness playground for ages – as a member and now as a coach. I take immense pride in being part of this community.

More of the team

  • I used to get really anxious about going to the gym and especially about lifting weights, but now I can’t wait to go and work out at Valesco Fitness Collective. The coaches are super supportive and the community is so lovely - everyone just wants the best for each other! No matter what level of fitness or ability you have, you are guided through all movements and workouts, so that you can give everything a go at your own pace! I’m now lifting weights I never thought I would lift, trying new skills on a weekly basis and can really see the progress after only a few months. The best community - I love it!

  • Love this gym! I joined a year ago and I have never gone to the gym more consistently before. The coaches are all super knowledgeable and friendly. They have created this beautiful atmosphere of community and support! It’s fun and satisfying to learn new skills and see myself getting better over time. I highly recommend Valesco!

  • Having joined Valesco Brislington in the summer, I can safely say this is my favourite gym to date! I have been a member of other functional fitness gyms previously but this one is so welcoming to everyone of all abilities and all of the coaches are lovely! Having felt like I hit a brick wall on my gym training, this was just the refresh and motivation I needed! If you’re thinking of joining then I highly recommend!
