Our December ‘Coach of the Month’ is going to see you end the year on a high!
We change the month and as you know, also the coach. And it is that December is possibly the most special of the year, the month of Christmas, of the celebrations, in which we close our list of objectives accomplished and focus on what is to come. But it also has its bad side, because it is the time when we lose our good fitness habits the most, lost among so much nougat, vacations and copious dinners. That is why we need the help of Virginia Torres, @vir_iron_trainer networking, who will be in charge of accompanying us during these four weeks. Virginia has a degree in Physical Education, personal training specialist and technician in sports nutrition and supplementation. She is also the CEO of Wild Pointdigital platform fitness coaching.
To get to know her a little better, and to know that you are putting yourself in good hands, we have talked to her. She has told us a little regarding her beginnings in the world of sports, what motivates her the most to continue, projects…
How did your relationship with sport begin?
Since I was very little I have practiced all kinds of sports (rhythmic gymnastics, basketball, canoeing, badminton or bodybuilding) but it was in the first year of my Physical Education degree when I began to teach group classes in Sports Centers. From that moment I began my training to professionalize myself in all the collective activities that were successful at that time and I ended up with a master’s degree in Direction and Management of Sports Facilities.
Where does your motivation to train come from?
I would define it more as my daily investment in long-term quality of life. If I want to reach my old age in good health to continue enjoying life, I need good muscle mass to protect my bones, fill my body with healthy and nutritious food, and do daily cardiovascular activity to have a strong heart.
What is your biggest challenge you have faced recently?
Well, it has been setting up my own company with my partner. Wild Point It is a dream come true. Share with everyone my knowledge and experience in the field of sports and health.
What is essential for you to start training?
The first thing to carry out a prior self-assessment to know where we start from. Be aware that if you don’t know how to train, I have an injury, I don’t have discipline or I lack motivation, you can’t start alone or “do what the other does”. The key is to always hire a professional.
What advice would you give someone preparing to train with you?
The first thing is to enjoy each day and each progress. You have put yourself in the hands of a professional who knows exactly what you need. If we do things right, the results will come out yes or yes.
What are your current or future projects?
My current project is to get my clients to feel the same passion as me for this world. But I have a pending dream and it is as follows: I love giving classes to a large group of people, so my future goal is to move throughout Spain holding massive fitness events. Hundreds of people training with me, feeling the music and doing their best.
