I was born in Germany but grew up traveling and living in various countries including Brazil and South Africa. A former professional equestrian endurance racer, I earned my degree in Sports Science and became passionate about working with both high-performance and disabled track athletes. I have also participated in Ironman events and several multi-day and adventure races – the longer, the tougher, the better. Now, I happily travel from ship to ship to oversee AmaWaterways’ wellness activities and ensure our standards remain at the highest level.

My name is Tiago Silva Monteiro, and I am from Porto, Portugal. I have a Master’s Degree in Sports Education and have always had a great passion for wellness and fitness from a very early age. My main focus is to pass on my knowledge and skills to others and also to show people that with a healthy mindset, great change is possible! I see the whole body as an interlinked system of muscles that I like to challenge and improve through things like yoga, Pilates and positive thinking.

Physical activity has always been an essential part of my life. It is not only my job, it is my passion and way of life. I am a qualified fitness instructor, personal trainer and spa and wellness therapist born in Poland.

Soccer is my favorite team sport but I also enjoy swimming and mountain biking. I am eager to welcome you at my classes and hope to see you on board soon!

I have always had a passion for sports and also for cooking and I managed to combine those dreams of mine in order to guide people to reach a balanced and healthy lifestyle.

It will be a pleasure to share my knowledge with you and show you how looking after your body, mind and soul can create a healthy and wellness-oriented lifestyle.

I was born in Athens, Greece, where I fell in love with basketball from a very young age. This inspired my passion for sports and health. Later I decided to pursue a career in fitness, which led me to the UK where I have gained further hands-on experience. In the past couple of years I started to do Crossfit, work with TRK, kettlebells and HIIT training methods. I like to focus my teaching on functional movements that people can easily implement in their everyday lives. I design my sessions to welcome everyone, regardless of any sort of sports background or fitness level. I am sure we are going to have lots of fun!
