After a skiing
injury in the 1990s, a prescribed exercise routine led him to become interested
in the health and fitness industry. He realized there were many unmet needs
that gyms and fitness facilities in Brazil and Latin America did not provide.
These unmet needs in the industry led to him starting the SmartFit franchise.
His first business
was Academia Bio Ritmo after observing the clear need for a fitness industry in
Latin America. It was originally intended to be a space for swimming and weight
training. It grew into a chain of several different gyms over time through his
hard work and creativity.

created a membership model that assured memb ers of a low $49.90 Real cost based
on the amount that people could afford.
