Achieve your best shape with world-class coaching — in Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon & Barra.


I’m Keith McNiven, originally from Leeds, England and now based in Rio de Janeiro. With over 10 years of experience in London’s most exclusive personal training studios, I help clients achieve world-class body transformations — and now offer the same high-standard coaching here in Rio.

I’m a former British & English National Champion Wrestler, and before moving to Brazil I owned and managed an elite London gym, leading a team of high-level trainers and helping hundreds of clients transform their bodies.

My work has been featured in top publications including Men’s Health and AskMen, and I’m proud to have a proven track record of delivering fast, safe, and long-lasting results.

Personal Training in English — Tailored to You

Whether your goal is fat loss, muscle gain, strength, conditioning, or simply staying fit while you’re in Rio, I’ll design a fully personalised program built around your schedule, your location, and your fitness level.

I offer one-to-one training in:

Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon, Barra da Tijuca

Train on the beach, at home, at your Airbnb, or in a local park — wherever works best for you.

Every session follows a proven system designed for safe, fast, and sustainable progress.

✔ Clear communication and coaching entirely in English
✔ Flexible scheduling to fit your travel plans or busy routine
