Joao Neto
(pronounced
Joe)
Bio: Joao is nationally certified through International Fitness
Professionals Association - I.F.P.A. He has been personal training for
21 years. Joao began his career at the age of 15 at his father's gym
(also named Eli's Gym) in Santos, Brazil. One-on-One training was the
newest craze at the time and his father was short of staff so he put his
son on the floor to put clients through introductory training sessions
and before he knew it, he was being requested as their trainer. He would
go to school in the morning and ride his bike straight to the gym after
school to start training his clientele. He absolutely loved it and knew
from the beginning that this was the career that God chose for him.
Joao came to the United States in 1991 with little money and even less
knowledge of the English language so he took whatever job he could find
to make money to survive. He did everything from dishwashing to roofing
but always had the goal in his mind to open his own gym one day. In
2000, after many years of struggling, he was able to open Eli's Fitness
Studio in South Florida. It was just himself and one other trainer in a
600 square foot facility. He always had clients flocking to him to train
and had everything necessary in his little space but wanted to grow to
be able to accommodate more clients and get more people in shape. He has
moved twice since then and is now in a 2,000 square foot training
facility with everything imaginable to get anyone in the best shape of
their life. He also has 8 fantastic trainers that he hand picked
available to train at the studio.
Joao's philosophy is simple. If you watch your diet, do cardio and
weight train, you will succeed. He is as disciplined with his own
diet and workout routine as he expects his clients to be. He would not
expect a client to do something he would not do himself and you can tell
by looking at him that his program works. He is definitely not the kind
of trainer that doesn't "look" the part. He will not only motivate you
with his words, but with his love of training you and his looks don't
hurt either.
Here's what Joao's clients have to say:
As
a busy physician, I never had enough time to dedicate to training. I had
all the right or wrong excuses as to why other things in my life were
more important than staying physically fit. Once I realized how out of
shape I was and how it would impact my health, I attempted to work out
on my own but I lacked the structure and guidance to be successful and
therefore fail at all of my attempts to implement change, It took the
photograph shown here to awaken me to contact Eli's Fitness. Joao Neto
has given me the support, motivation and guidance to achieve the results
that I have always wanted but was unable to achieve on my own. My waist
size has gone from 34 to 29. Now at 50 I feel and look better than I
ever had.
Thanks Joao,
Rene A. Poveda M.D.
I
met Joao in May of 2001 weighing 212lbs. By November of 2001 I competed
in the 2001 Extreme Challenge at 180lbs. In October of 2002, I competed
in Turkey for the USA Team at 154lbs in the Women's World Boxing
Championships winning the Silver Medal.
In 2006 I fought at 145lbs. as a professional boxer. I still work out
with Joao and have been able to keep the weight off. My weight loss and
ability to keep it off is directly related to Joao's knowledge and
training methods and his ability to motivate. My success in this new
career came from my weight loss and confidence I gained, I owe to him.
Thank you Joao for a new lease on LIFE.
