Today we’d like to introduce you to Facundo Luna.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Facundo. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
It all started in 2012, although before that, I coached some youth soccer teams and trained some clients here and there. I believe that my passion for training began when I used to play soccer and during the off days I would come up with drills and fitness exercises to help my teammates and I get better. It just came naturally and I enjoyed doing it. In addition to that, one of my former coaches would travel a lot, so he would leave me in charge of his youth teams where I gained experience in coaching. While I was playing and trying out for professional teams, I was also taking classes to pursue a Bachelors of Exercise Science. No doubt my love for fitness and soccer has been around with me for a quite a few years.
Throughout my playing years, I suffered a few injuries that also led me to become very interested in the rehabilitation world. Nowadays, my training sessions have a focus on prehab exercises and injury prevention. I really strive to use my skills and knowledge to help my clients stay strong.
Since 2012, I have been training clients on a daily basis. I currently do many private soccer lessons, functional fitness classes, boot camps, and personal training. I continue to do professional development in exercise and injury prevention to serve my clients best.
Has it been a smooth road?
It hasn’t been an easy ride at all but I wouldn’t change anything, we must go through that learning period. Weather sometimes is an issue since most of the training are outside. Also, clients come and go as they get busy but that’s just part of this job, I think any trainer of fitness facility is used to that. Making a dream come true is not an easy task, but we must remain strong and believe in ourselves regardless of the situation.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with Autofit – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
I’m usually known for the soccer fitness coach, but I also work with clients on soccer specific drills that transfer to the game. From time to time I have some regular fitness clients that just wants to stay in shape. They also know me for the functional fitness coach. Functional Fitness usually means the training that transfer to real life or the sport.
The thing that I’m most proud about my business is that I’m able to provide my clients, with different type of trainings. I was a player, a soccer coach and a fitness trainer. By combining all those aspects, I can create a more complete session for them. Many times, I come across kids that have been working with someone on technique, and they just come to work with me on “fitness” but I see they are still struggling on the soccer part, so that’s why usually the sessions are a combination of both fitness and technique. I always aim to create similar game situations, nothing complicated but a something that actually transfers to the field.
I been training soccer clients for more than 6 years so I have gained a bit of experience. Of course, like any field in life you never stop learning. Training methods keep evolving all the time.
Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
I love the diversity of Houston and the thing that I like the least is the traffic.
