OUR FOUNDER
Founder of Miami Beach Fitness, Iggy Goncalves, is a multifaceted Entrepreneur, Fitness and Lifestyle Coach, Fitness Model, and Creative Director who has built MBF from the ground up with a successful roster of Celebrity, Models, and other high profile clientele. Iggy grew up in Boston, Massachusetts and moved to South Florida where he received his Bachelors in Business and later pursued a one year accelerated MBA program in Media Management and Mass Communications. He achieved this, all while traveling full-time for work and taking care of his well being. Needless to say that it was there, in Miami Beach, that Iggy began his personal fitness journey.
In 2015 -- now living and working in New York as an International Scout for one of the leading modeling agencies in the world, Wilhelmina Models -- Iggy was now juggling an even more demanding career. Increased pressures and work travels brought forth inconsistencies in meals, time zones and all around quality of living. But this challenging lifestyle didn't deter Iggy from losing his focus on continuously bettering himself, mentally and physically. Eventually, and after 13 years managing some of the world’s most beautiful fashion models, Iggy decided to move back to South Florida to pursue a passion in health and fitness.
Today, with over 14 years of experience in the health and fitness world -- studying and living it out daily -- He believes that with the right self determination and personalized support, his clients will achieve a healthier lifestyle, stronger mindset and sexier aesthetics. He is entirely devoted to the individual process and success of his clients and enjoys observing the positive changes each client makes as they achieve their goals, both in and outside of the gym.
On his free time, Iggy enjoys practicing Real Estate and studying the changes in the real estate market. His hobbies include: bodybuilding, boating with friends and family, and studying the Japanese language.
