Roberto Bocchetti was born in Milan (Italy) on the 7th of August, 1968. He started to go to a gym when he was 16, and has never stopped since then.....

In 1993 he decided to transform his passion into a career: he took his first diploma as a bodybuilding instructor with NABBA (National Amateur Body Building Association) and started to work with his friends and relatives. In the following years, he attended some seminars on bodybuilding, fitness, cardio training and stretching and decided to become self-employed.

In 1999 he attended a course of Sports Massage with the Italian Association HLF (Healhty Life & Fitness). In 2001 he attended another course for Antistress Massage, followed by some seminars on deep tissue massage, neck-shoulder-back treatment and rehabilitation.

In 2005 he attended some seminars in nutrition, weight control management, body composition analysis and sports nutrition, and he became a distributor of PRO ACTION, the leading brand in Italy of sports supplements.

In 2006, as a recognition of all his studies, he became a member of AIPT-ASSOCIAZIONE ITALIANA PERSONAL TRAINERS (Italian Association of Personal Trainers), a prestigious association member of FIF (Federazione Italiana Fitness), the Italian Fitness Association, recognised by EFA (European Fitness Association). 

In 2008 Roberto became an associate member of ACE (American Council on Exercise), an associate member of The Sports Massage Association and he attended the course "PT Set 4 Success" with Fitness First in London.

In addition, Roberto writes a regular column about fitness on the monthly magazine "Lui", and he has written some articles for the weekly magazine "Novella 2000". He has been featured on the daily newspaper "24 minuti" on 29th February 2008 and on the website of "Corriere della Sera", the most important  daily newspaper in Italy.

In June 2006 he decided to move to Playa del Ingles, Gran Canaria. The island life has been very good: Roberto enjoyed every minute of it but, after two years, Gran Canaria started to be a bit too narrow for him. 

In June 2008, just two months before his 40th Birthday, he decided he needed a new challenge in life: he left Gran Canaria and moved to London. 

He now lives near Clapham Junction Station (SW11); he has registered with Inland Revenue as a sole trader/self employed and he has set up his new business in London.

His aim is to continue to do what he enjoys most in life: working as a massage therapist and personal trainer, in order to help other people to get in shape and improve the quality of their lives. He is currently working as a freelance personal trainer at Fitness First Clapham Junction Station.

His motto is "Add years to your life and life to your years!"

Roberto speaks English, Italian (his mother language), Spanish, French and a little German.
