Eri Coutinho

Eri was raised in the South-East of Brazil, as a child he was incredibly sporty, playing several different types of sport, including basketball, football, and handball.

At the university he began to struggle with his sexuality creating some personal trauma which resulted in gaining quite a lot of excess weight which had a negative effect on his self-perception, lack of confidence and low self-worth.

The location that he grew up in is very focused around being on the beach being out in the open and doing activities, he found himself quite self-conscious of his weight, so he found the strength within to begin his fitness journey and started at the gym which was complimented by a healthy eating regime.

Quite quickly, he saw some amazing progression and his self-esteem began to increase. This reignited his passion for sport and exercise finding himself training 4 to 6 times a week including a range of sports and styles of training.
