ARMANDO
Originally from Colombia and raised in Florida, USA, Armando has called Belgium and France home since 2009. After earning an MBA and building a successful career in digital technology, he felt drawn back to his lifelong passion for movement, performance, and coaching. In 2020, he began the transition from the corporate world to helping others unlock their physical and mental potential.
A dedicated athlete from an early age, Armando’s journey has taken him through the martial arts, action adventure sports, strength training, HYROX, and yoga. He began practicing yoga in 2006 and started teaching in 2020, developing a coaching style that subtly blends the focus, discipline, and flow of martial arts with modern movement practices. As a former black belt instructor, he believes that training should have purpose, build confidence, and create lasting results for mind, body, and spirit.
When not coaching, Armando can usually be found exploring the world in search of his next adventure, whether surfing, mountain biking, snowboarding, exotic yoga retreats, or competing in his next HYROX event. Passionate about continuous learning and personal growth, he brings a craftsman’s mindset to coaching, challenging athletes to reach the next level while keeping the experience approachable, inclusive, and enjoyable. His ultimate goal is simple: helping athletes build strength, resilience, and a healthy body that supports a lifetime of adventure.
