About me
Hi! My name is Stefano, I’m Italian, and I’m a Private Swimming Teacher, Advanced Aquaphobia Coach and a Personal Trainer. I train my clients at the gym and in the water. My goal and main commitment is helping people of all ages to lead a healthier and happier life by being active, having a balanced diet and feeling comfortable with their own body and mind. I actively achieve this by incorporating specific aims and providing a unique coaching exercise framework at the gym and in the water.The water is my true element; to me being in the water, not necessarily swimming, is almost like meditating. It helps me to unwind and switch off from the everyday hustle and bustle while staying fit at the same time. I teach from complete beginners to more advanced swimmers, but what I enjoy the most is helping people to overcome the fear of water and / or become more confident swimmers. The impact that overcoming the fear of water has on our lives, being able to enjoy some quality time with friends and family or alone is almost priceless and so rewarding. Furthermore, performing physical activity in the water has plenty of beneficial effects on our body and mind.
I have a background as a water polo player, which I played for almost my entire life. In water polo, to be able to perform efficiently at the highest level, there is a strong focus on workout sessions at the gym and in the water in the form of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training), total body circuit training, body composition, core stability and strength, cardiovascular and muscular endurance. These are also all extremely important for our body to function efficiently when performing Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), to prevent/control the development of Lower Back Pain and manage our body weight.
Having played such a high intensity sport for such a long time made me realise how important it is to challenge our body in many different disciplines and environments, such as the gym and the water, to achieve maximal functionality for our body.
My qualifications include Level 3 Personal Trainer, Level 2 Swimming Teacher and Advanced Aquaphobia Coach (for those who want to improve their level of confidence and safety in the water).
Why the name “Hennys Health”
Hennys was the name of my grandfather. The logo is the signature of my grandfather and was taken from a postcard, which he sent to my grandmother at the end of World War II, in which he wrote “I’m alive, I’m coming home“.
Health is because my main commitment is to help people to get and stay active practising exercise and physical activity at the gym and in the water with the ultimate goal of living a healthier and happier life. Too often we get carried away from our daily routine, and we forget to take care of the person we look at when we are in front of the mirror.
