Gustavo Chivata
Personal trainer at Fitness World Canada

I’ve been always an enthusiast with a lifelong passion for Muay Thai, running, and an all-around hybrid approach to training. For years, I was caught in the grind of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. jobs—day in and day out, doing work that felt miles away from what I truly enjoyed. It was frustrating, knowing there was something else out there that could fuel my soul.

Then I found personal training, and everything changed. Enrolling at BCPTI was a turning point in my life. The program didn’t just give me a certification; it gave the me the tools, guidance, and confidence to transform a passion into a career. With their support and my dedication, I grew professionally and gained the knowledge to help others reach their own fitness goals.
Starting out wasn’t easy, it took effort, persistence, and trust in the process. But I learned that with enough hard work, you can truly achieve your goals. Now, I’m living a better life . As a personal trainer, I get to spend my days helping others push their limits, grow stronger, and discover their potential. Best of all, my flexible schedule lets me balance this fulfilling work with quality time for my family. As I continued on my career path of a trainer, I continued to work on myself and start a family. Even more so than before, being a great trainer, role model to my son and family is the best part of my life.
