Gus Blessmann
Assistant General Manager - Eglinton
Gus, “The Kettlebell Guy”, is much more than his name leads on. Having been in the health and fitness industry for over 18 years, growing up and achieving his Bachelor’s degree in Physical Education in Brazil, creating and leading courses in both kettlebell and functional training, Gus discovered his knack for changing people’s lives for the better. Rooted in his deep theoretical knowledge, Gus’ training style is very thorough. He ensures his clients understand why they are doing certain movements, and how it will help them reach their goals. Although his training is both practical and educational, Gus brings a fun, lighthearted energy to each of his sessions.
Gus is excited to share his love for kettlebells with all his clients. When he’s not swinging a kettlebell, you can find him continually expanding his health and fitness knowledge, surfing, playing sports, or hanging by the lake with his family.
