Healthy SoFlo Issue 57 - Simone Cavalletti Dares to Overcome

DARES TO
OVERCOME
Before Simone Cavalletti became
a trainer for the stars (and an
inspiration for the rest of us) he
was a child in Montefano, a small
town on the Adriatic coast of Italy. It was a
relatively uneventful, peaceful upbringing,
only marked by the appearance of a special
gift: Cavalleti was an athlete.
When I say this, I don’t just mean that he
would score a couple goals for his youth
soccer team, or that he was the fastest
sprinter in his class (Though I’m sure he
did, and was). What I mean is that he
excelled. You could put any challenge
in front of him—be it soccer, track
and field, or even gymnastics,
and he would utilize his
astounding physical abilities,
heightened by the strength of
his will, to overcome it. This
combination of athleticism
and mindset did not go
unnoticed, and he was quickly put
on a tract, which would allow him
to make the best of them. And he did.
Eventually, he ended up going to school
for physical therapy.
But it didn’t stop there. Even while he was in
school, you could always find him assisting in
handicap facilities. It was there where he got
his first experiences with and understanding
of Muscle Mobility. This fascinated him. He
had to know more. His drive, his willpower,
and thirst for knowledge eventually led him
to delve into specialties in Chinese Medicine,
Acupuncture, and Applied Kinesthesiology.
As someone possessing such a finely
tuned body and mind, and a winning
personality at that, it’s easy to see why
Cavalletti found so much success as
a personal trainer. He has worked for
celebrities as distinguished and varied
as Madonna, President Bill Clinton,
and Emilio Estefan. The latter
of which approached him to
be an integral part of the TV
show, “Las Nuevas Voces de
America”. There he appeared
as a personal trainer for the
contestants, helping them lose
weight, gain confidence, and
get in general shape.
This
kind of knowledge
took him years to acquire
and make sense of, but it
developed, in him, an intense,
holistic understanding of the human
body. Whether it’s weight loss, physical
therapy, or the prevention and relief
of body aches, one would be hard
pressed to find someone more
knowledgeable than Simone
Cavalletti.
