Strength Training and Conditioning
Description
STRENGTH TRAINING
INDOOR, OUTDOOR & ON-LINE
Strength Training, also known as resistance training, involves any activity that puts a weighted load on your muscles, which stimulates them to become stronger and bigger. It might involve just your body weight, a set of resistance bands, dumbbells, kettlebells, barbells or machines.
Benefits
- Builds muscle strength, which becomes more essential as we age as each decade after age 30 humans lose up to 5 pounds of muscle.
- You can slow down or even reverse the aging process by building muscle mass and strength;
- Increases bone density. Osteoporosis, a condition of accelerated bone mineral loss which leads to fractures, can be a crippling disease. Research on resistance exercises suggests that it can build bone even in the elderly.
- Greater strength can lead to fewer falls, which drastically decreases risk of injury.

Attention to the contractual rules
Attention to the contractual rules:
- We offer individual and non-transferable plans for the practice of physical activities, sports nutrition, and individual or group physical evaluation.
- Our plan is valid for up to 3 (three) months.
- We offer plans for strength training and paddle-boarding activities.
- Each training session, whether individual or in a group of up to 5 (five) people, must be scheduled at least one week in advance, and each session lasts up to 60 (sixty) minutes.
- In the case of group training, each user must individually contract his/her training package.
- The activities must take place between 2 (two) and 3 (three) times a week for as long as there is a balance of hours available in the plan contracted by the user.
- In addition to strength training and stand up paddle boarding, the training offers the user a warm-up, stretching, technical improvement, and exercise practice for better physical conditioning and technical autonomy.
- Training can occur on the internet, in parks, homes, or gyms (whether private or gyms with free access to MCX Lifestyle for their students).
- For group training of 3 (three) to 5 (five) people, the MCX Lifestyle may provide up to two professionals for monitoring, mentoring, and coaching.
- The user can use the 12 (twelve), 24 (twenty-four), and 30 (thirty) hour plans for up to two physical evaluations: one before the start of his/her plan, and the other at the end of the contracted hours. The physical evaluation aims to identify the user’s goals and plan exercises and routines that must be followed. In that case, both sessions will be taken out of the training plan. For example, the user contracts 12 (twelve) hours and wants two physical evaluations; 12 (twelve) hours contracted – (minus) 2 hours of physical evaluation = 10 hours of training.
- The MCX Lifestyle also offers a sports nutrition consultation in the 12 (twelve), 24 (twenty-four), and 30 (thirty) hour plans. If this is the case, the consultation will be taken out of the training plan. For example, the user contracts 12 (twelve) hours and wants two physical evaluations; 12 (twelve) hours contracted – (minus) 2 hours of physical evaluation – (minus) 1 hour of sports nutrition consultation = 09 (nine) hours of training.
- There will be no relocation fee in the pre-established locations determined by the MCX Lifestyle as free areas.

MARINA M VIDIGAL –
I live in Brazil, so I had online classes with Marcelo. I was really surprised to notice how I could improve my strengh and conditioning doing online classes twice a week in my living room, with only a few fitness equipment I already had at home. It was really great.
Jean Silva –
The progress with Marcelo is certain. He will push you and you’ll learn to push yourself. Results will come as a consequence. Marcelo is focused, organized and works on our best interest. Worth every penny!

Hi my name is Kyron,
I have been training on and off since I was in high school but was never able to fully get the results I wanted from the gym due to a lack of knowledge and poor nutrition.
A little over a year ago I decided to become a firefighter and I knew I needed to step up my game. After months of training myself I ran into Marcelo, I instantly knew I was talking to a professional.
Marcelo’s passion and enthusiasm for fitness and nutrition is un paralleled by anyone I have met. I have been training with Marcelo for over 2 months now and in that time I dropped 20+ pounds of fat and improved my fitness 10 fold.
I recently attended boot camp to become a Wild Land firefighter, with Marcelo’s help and guidance I was able to complete the fitness test in outstanding time and pushed myself to my limits and beyond during the training. I am now proud to say I am a member of the BC Wild Fire Service and could not have achieved my goals without the amazing help of Marcelo I am very grateful to have him in my corner, and happy to have him as a friend. If you have a goal and are willing to give it everything you have Marcelo is the man that can get you there. All you need to do is have a good attitude bring your all to training sessions and follow the nutritional advice he lays out. I honestly cannot say enough about my experience with Marcelo, it has been a complete game changer. So if your wanting a change don’t be afraid to go for it get out there and get after it. Anything is possible with the right people to guide you.

I was fortunate enough to be gifted sessions with MCX Lifestyle by my mother-in-law and long time client of Marcelo’s. I was at a place in my life where I didn’t feel very great about myself. I have been suffering through chronic pain and injury for years and had gained an alarming amount of weight in that time, along with a sense that I could never recover and be myself again. As a former athlete this was something I struggled with accepting.
From the first time meeting Marcelo (online sessions) I could tell right away it was a good fit. He is extremely knowledgeable in his profession but also has the type of personality that is easy to connect with. He worked with me on my nutrition, injury recovery, exercise and all aspects of a healthy LIFESTYLE. Marcelo is always available for any questions and concerns and is always very supportive. He was able to cater to my injuries (with the knowledge and experience to make on-the-fly changes during a workout session) without sacrificing an extremely good workout and is still able to push me to my limits without aggravating my injuries. This was very encouraging to me as it was something I didn’t think was possible (especially while working and being a busy father of two). Marcelo has completely changed my outlook on my recovery from injury, fitness and nutrition. Which has ultimately changed my life.
I became dedicated to the process and
after just 12 weeks with MCX Lifestyle I lost 34 pounds, lost 7 inches from around my belly, and went from 33% to 24% body fat. I am extremely pleased with my progress and feel extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to train with a top notch trainer! I believe in MCX Lifestyle and Marcelo as a trainer. I will forever be part of the MCX Lifestyle community!

Hi my name is Tim,
I was referred to Marcelo by my son Kyron who went through a training program with Marcelo to prepare him for the entrance requirements of the BC Wildfire Service. I started working with Marcelo in April, with the initial focus being that we would get the fitness level up and achieve significant weight loss.
I am happy to share that we have made significant strides in both areas. The careful attention that Marcelo has given to my nutritional needs and ensuring that I adhere to these, has been very consistent. The results speak for themselves as I have over three months achieved significant weight loss. This wasn’t pursued for purposes of aesthetics but to ensure that we addressed a pre-diabetic issue.
The process that was followed gave attention to nutrition and lifestyle as well as ensuring that exercise was consistent and followed a very structured and incremental approach.
The engagement on the part of Marcelo was also consistent and gave encouragement as well guidance. I truly believe that this is a journey, and that Marcelo has made that journey easier by being strict and disciplined in his approach throughout.

Marcelo was pleasantly surprised yesterday when he saw my recorded weight.
He sent me a short encouraging message: “76.9!! Nice”
To which I replied:
“Yes Sir!
The lowest I’ve been in the past 9 years… hit 73 kg at some point about a decade ago, but it was mainly due to immense stress brought about by abrupt career transition, etc.
But this time it’s healthy and maintainable weight loss… LOVE it!
I genuinely appreciate you helping me get here and beyond 🙏🏽”
So I figured to share it with prospective clients to know how well Marcelo’s training pays off.
Highly recommend him to anyone at any fitness level.
