PERSONAL COACH

About me

Who i am and what i do

My name is Daniel Cirilli, and I am a personal coach.
When I decided to embark on this path, I immediately wanted to aim for the best. This strong belief led me to move to Rishikesh, India, where I studied the practices that I now teach.
I have been working on physical preparation, relaxation techniques, meditation (Yoga Nidra, Om Mantra, Candle Meditation, Transcending Meditation etc.) and prevention (Pranayama and Shat Kriya) since 2010. I am a RYT 500-hours teacher (Yoga Alliance) in Italian and in English, and I teach Functional Training, Calisthenics, Yoga, and Personal Training. I have also trained international athletes. I believe as well that a good posture is crucial for a successful workout: for this reason, I collaborate with an osteopath, to ensure the best possible result for those who choose to train with me.
Beyond techniques and work experience, what I like most is to establish a common path, a mutual and stimulating relationship of trust. I passionately believe that through an authentic human relationship, work can become more stimulating, creative, and effective.

Calisthenics

Creative Training

I love calisthenics because it is a simple workout method that is open to everyone: you do it using your own body weight, nothing else is needed. You do not need any special equipment and it can be done anywhere. It is a discipline where creativity and imagination play an active role: you can invent endless exercises. This means that, regardless of the starting level, calisthenics adapts to the needs of everyone: from beginner to advanced level, everyone can find the right workout.

Calisthenics has many exercises for any level and allows you to train different mental and physical functions, such as strength, endurance, agility, mobility and flexibility, coordination and control. This makes Calisthenics a perfect base workout for any kind of sport. For those who practice calisthenics, the increase in muscle mass is not the main objective, but a certain consequence. Calisthenics develops a qualitative musculature, and not only aesthetically beautiful, because a functional use of one's own muscles is required in the exercises.
In short, if calisthenics appeals to you, whatever your age and starting level, we can begin a focused and exciting journey together.

Yoga

Discover your consciousness

Yoga is a complete path. The word Yoga means union, and I like to describe Yoga as the discipline that leads you to the highest level of consciousness and awareness. There is a lot of confusion about the use of this term. I often hear it associated with certain words with the intent, perhaps, to ennoble Yoga itself: recreational Yoga, healthy Yoga, Yoga as an art form. In my opinion, Yoga does not need any addition to assume value. Yoga is getting closer to the ultimate nature of existence, it is the gradual understanding of being part of a whole, it is the rejection of individuality, becoming one with the universe.

This path is as much spiritual as it is physical. Yoga, in fact, increases muscle strength and flexibility, increases respiratory and cardiovascular function, improving lung capacity and heart function, helps create healthy habits, reduces stress, anxiety, chronic pain, panic attacks, improves the quality of sleep and life in general, connects body, mind and spirit to nature.
If you decide to start a journey together with me, we can study these disciplines of Yoga:

ASANA - Physical Practice
Asana is a Sanskrit term that is often translated as "posture" or "pose". It can also be translated as "a stable and comfortable seat," particularly for the purpose of meditation. Specific asanas can also be modified to meet all the needs and desires of the practice. Asana helps relieve chronic pain and control breathing, improves quality of life, and allows for stress reduction.

PRANAYAMA - Breathing
Pranayama is a system of techniques for preserving and controlling the universal energy known as prana. It is an integral aspect of yoga, often incorporated into the practice of asanas or used as a preliminary step to meditation. Pranayama stabilizes the mind and brings physiological benefits such as increased heart rate variability, improved oxygen saturation, and general rebalancing of the nervous system.

MEDITATION - Awareness Training
Meditation is a precise technique to rest the mind and reach a state of consciousness different from the normal waking state. It is the means to probe all levels of ourselves and finally experience the center of inner consciousness. Meditation is not part of any religion. Rather, it approaches it as a science, which means that the process of meditation follows a particular order, has defined principles, and produces results that can be verified.

My Proposal

In addition to the ones you see here, we can create together a custom package of workouts tailored to your needs.

5 workout plan examples, by goal:

Increasing Strength, Endurance and Coordination

Needed course:
Calisthenics. This course will allow you to increase your strength exponentially.

Increasing Strength, Flexibility and have a right Muscular Balance

Needed course:
Calisthenics in order to increase strength and to balance the muscles (agonists/antagonists) and make them flexible and balanced with Yoga (Asana), thus finding the right postural alignment.

Increasing strength, losing some weight, increasing flexibility, and feeling less stressed

Suggested course:
Calisthenics + Yoga (Asana) + Breathing.
This course will allow you to increase your strength exponentially.

I feel stressed or bored, unmotivated, and lazy

Suggested course:
Yoga (Asana + Pranayama + Meditation) in order to relax mind and body, also helps to work on ourselves and our skills. It motivates to constant practice that makes us feel better, active, and creative, both physically and mentally.

I am a professional athlete and would like a tailor-made course

Goal: to increase coordination and balance (both mental and physical), to increase strength and power, without gaining too much body weight and without losing my flexibility, and to improve my performance to reach my sports goals.

Recommended course:
Calisthenics in order to work on strength, power, endurance, coordination (inter- and intra-muscular) and balance; Yoga (Asana) in order to work on flexibility, coordination, endurance, balance (not only muscular, but also at the level of the organs and the mind), thus, to connect body and mind. This together with Pranayama and other breathing exercises, which allow us to increase our lung capacity, control the mind and make the hollow organs work properly, without going to overload them or leave them inactive. In fact, if the muscles and other structures are not activated correctly, it will lead us to have organ and muscle pathologies, and more. Pranayama and other breathing exercises allow us to become aware of ourselves. Secondly, meditation gives us the possibility to improve both physically and mentally, it gives us a different and positive view of the world, it gives us awareness, attention, it makes us keep the right control in our daily actions, thoughts, and emotions, it teaches us to live and understand ourselves completely. Finally, it is also important to be followed by an osteopath to have reports on the work we are doing both at muscular, postural, and mental level.

What they say about me

The words of my "students"

Matteo Alessandroni

Vanity Fair Model, For Men, Pitti Uomo

A fantastic person with a big heart, he was my first official trainer and he taught me many secrets and tips of functional and calisthenic training. From there, fate made us become colleagues in the gym but above all friends. Humble, professional, and prepared, he is simply the best! I wish you the best things in life, my friend! From your student who has now become a great teacher.

Gloria Peritore

Iska World Flyweight Champ,
3 Times Winner Oktagon,
1 Winner Bellator in the US

During the period in which we trained together in Rome, Daniel was able to adapt a type of preparation on me that was appropriate for combat sports, and to make me feel better by including exercises and stretching routines that I did not know before and that come in handy in every training session. In this way I reduced the risk of injury and I felt better in general, as well as more elastic.

Jacqueline

Student

Daniel trained me for a couple of years in Rome. We started with calisthenics, which was something new for me, to which he then integrated yoga exercises. It was the magic mix. I realized that working out is not just about moving and sweating, but involves so much more: self-knowledge, experimentation, physiology, posture, strength, flexibility, mobility, concentration and above all perseverance. With his kindness he was able to squeeze me to the point of exhaustion, all with great grace. He was relentless in deducting numbers in repetitions, but he always had a smile and a lot of peace of mind. At one point I had a severe problem with my shoulder. Daniel helped me to understand why (I was not activating the right muscles) and to overcome some critical issues. Right training and a lot of yoga solved the problem.

When I first met Daniel, I asked him for information about weight loss because I could not get better, he suggested that I get some professional coaching. I decided to start with him with both yoga and calisthenics and right away I got remarkable results. I lost weight (which was my goal), improved elasticity, strength, and concentration. Thanks to Daniel I hardly suffer from migraines anymore and the attacks that occurred almost daily have disappeared. I will never stop thanking him for all of this.

Alessandra

Student

I met Daniel Cirilli at the Italian Fitness Academy where he taught as a teacher, then I continued to follow him for his great professionalism and expertise in sports. With him I discovered yoga and it has been a cure-all for my life.

Laura

Student

Thanks to the workouts with Daniel Cirilli, I also learned self-massage techniques with the foam roller, which helped me improve muscle flexibility and joint mobility.
