At Body Design, we provide exercise, coaching, and educational services for people who want to improve their fitness, health, and daily function in a structured and effective way.
Each programme is designed around the individual’s personal needs, goals, fitness level, exercise history, and current circumstances. Our approach is based on assessment, proper technique, progressive training, and education, so that exercise can be performed with greater safety, consistency, and effectiveness.
Our goal is not simply to provide a list of exercises. Our goal is to help each person understand their body better, move more efficiently, reduce unnecessary strain, and build habits that can be maintained in real life.
Guidance is provided by an experienced and certified Exercise Physiologist, with education and international professional certifications from organizations such as ACSM and ACE.
Personal Training is exercise with individual guidance and continuous supervision. After assessing your goals, fitness level, needs, and any limitations that may affect your training, we design a programme that is tailored to your personal data.
Personal training can help with goals such as:
improving physical fitness,
managing body weight and reducing body fat,
increasing muscular strength and supporting muscle mass,
improving cardiorespiratory fitness,
improving mobility and flexibility,
returning to exercise after a period of inactivity,
exercising with greater safety after injury or rehabilitation, in collaboration with the appropriate health professional where needed,
improving daily movement and function.
The difference is in the way exercise is organized.
We do not start with a ready-made, standardized programme. We start with you: your goals, your current level, your history, the time you have available, and the real needs of your daily life.
Exercise is designed to be properly structured, safe, progressive, adapted to your personal needs, and applicable in real life.
This means that it is not only about which exercises you do. It is about why they are selected, how they are performed, how they are adapted to your body, and how they progress over time.
Where You Can Train
At the Gym:
You can choose one of the collaborating gyms in the Engomi area of Nicosia. The facilities include equipment for resistance training, cardiovascular exercise, and functional training, with convenient access and parking.
At your home:
Training can take place in your own space, at home, on your veranda, or in your personal gym. With simple and functional equipment, we can organise a programme that fits your space and your needs.
We can also guide you in selecting basic equipment, so that even a small space can become a practical training area.
Outdoors:
For those who prefer to exercise outdoors, outdoor training is also available. Training may include bodyweight exercises, resistance bands, suspension straps, dumbbells, medicine balls, and other forms of functional exercise, depending on each person’s goal, level, and needs.
Online Coaching:
For people who cannot be physically present, online coaching is also available. The programme is organized according to your goals, available equipment, time, and fitness level.
Online coaching is suitable for people who want structure, consistency, and a scientifically organized programme, even if they train at home or in another gym.
Our services can be adapted to different goals and needs, such as:
“I have been doing personal training sessions with Stelios after each of my three pregnancies. Those have helped me maintain good health and contributed towards increasing my physical and mental well being. Furthermore, the training sessions (adjusted to personal needs) helped me return to pre-pregnancy body weight, improved my body shape and most importantly have increased my stamina, patience and discipline, valuable elements needed to cope with the everyday and increasing challenges of the growing family. All positive effects were cumulative and long term. I definitely recommend Stelios’s professional experience and knowledge to anybody who desires to maintain high levels of fitness, health and life quality”
΄΄I had personal Training by Stelios for about a year. During this time Stelios help me get back into physical training in a smooth way avoiding any injuries. Also any weak parts on the body were identified and the programme helped to strengthen them ! The standard of training was high and precise. Stelios is very consistent and accurate . Highly recommended΄΄
"I trained with Stelios for over 6 months. Over this time I saw a significant improvement in my physical energy, in my balance and it feels like I now have a much better control over my body. I would highly recommend Stelios as a fitness trainer, not only for his extensive knowledge but for his good judgment too, and for his ability to adapt the exercise program according to each individual case. My own feedback was encouraged and seemed to be especially important to him, while I found communication to be easy and was always met with a positive attitude. Our training did not go without some humor and ‘philosophy’, making it a most pleasant experience"
"I have started personal training with Stelios in early 2013, after my 1st pregnancy, with the primary objective to lose the excess weight and tone my muscles. I have soon realized that not only I have achieved my primary goals but I have earned much more than that:"
Mental health: Physical exercise has proved to have a strong and positive effect on my mental wellbeing. Working long hours and raising a family in parallel is a challenging task. Personal training has helped me release the stress, rest my mind and enjoy time for myself.
Motivation: Seeing results and most importantly feeling physically and mentally healthy, are my incentives to continue exercise and the reasons I have established long-term exercising habits! Stelio, thank you! I would definitely recommend Stelio’s personal training services. Stelios is a highly experienced coach with a rich academic background who aims to capitalise on both physical and mental health. He is inspiring and motivating. Personal training is now part of my life and I consider it as an investment to myself with long-term valuable benefits.
