🎙️ Welcome to the Hybrid Athlete Podcast – the show where real people share real stories of fitness, reinvention, and community.

In this episode, we sit down with Claudio — a Sardinian-born dentist, violinist, family man and determined hybrid athlete — to explore how fitness and lifestyle changes can completely transform a life. From his seaside childhood in Sardinia to postgraduate studies in Scotland and London, Claudio reveals the pivotal moments that led him to build a dental clinic in St Albans that’s now a community hub.

Claudio opens up about the challenges many midlife professionals face: long commutes, early parenthood, weight gain, and the slow drift away from an active lifestyle. At his heaviest, he was 22 kilograms overweight. The breakthrough came when he discovered a local St Albans gym and committed to small, sustainable changes — morning workouts, expert coaching, and the support of a like-minded fitness community.

This episode is packed with insights on midlife fitness, hybrid training, and the powerful role of daily habits. Claudio also shares how his passions — from playing the violin to training as a sailing skipper — fuel the discipline and creativity that carry into his work and workouts. Most importantly, he explains how fitness sharpened his focus at work, gave him more energy at home, and rebalanced his entire lifestyle.

Whether you’re looking to lose weight, find a supportive fitness community, or simply prove that it’s never too late to start again, Claudio’s story will inspire you. His message is clear: you don’t need perfection or youth to reinvent yourself — just the right structure, support, and reason.

👉 Tune in to hear a powerful story of resilience, community, and the life-changing benefits of consistent training. If you’re in St Albans or beyond, this is your sign that the right gym, the right coach, and the right habits can help you build a richer, healthier life.
