In this position, he gained experience and learned the broad reach of fitness and its impact on people’s lives. “Early on in my career, I realized that training was not just about being thin or having big muscles, I understood that health and well-being appear as you focus on a broader focus; that is how I discovered Pilates. I really enjoyed Pilates and its focus on core strength, flexibility, and mobility.” In addition to his degree and Certifications in Personal Training and Group Fitness, Jairo went on to become trained in Pilates through Balanced Body.

“I come from Colombia and I really like learn new things. I really like to travel, especially by motorcycle. In Colombia, I traveled throughout the country on a motorcycle, a Suzuki V strom 650, currently I miss my motorcycle a lot and it is one of the projects that I hope to be able to do here in the United States, traveling through all its states. I have traveled through a small part of Latin America such as Chile and Ecuador. I am hoping to do create my own custom trip project “South America Route” which will consist of traveling by motorcycle from Colombia to the south of the continent, crossing all possible countries.”
