Pedro Pereira
Head Coach & Founder, Elevate Gym - Quarteira, Algarve
Pedro is a Starting Strength Certified Practitioner who believes that weight training is for everyone - regardless of age, background, or experience. Many of his clients started having never touched a barbell, and some were nervous about setting foot in a gym. That's completely okay.
As a certified practitioner of the Starting Strength method, Pedro coaches every repetition with patience, attention to your form, and a programme built entirely around you. His clients regularly see chronic pain fade away, improved performance in sports like golf and padel, and a quality of life they didn't think was possible. Whether you're 35 or 85, you'll be welcomed and supported from day one.
Training Philosophy
- Your safety and comfort come first
- Every client trains at their own pace
- Programmes are tailored to your goals and abilities
- Strength has no age limit
