Spotlight Trainer of the Week: Franco Giordanengo – Temecula Personal Trainer
This week, we are thrilled to shine the spotlight on Franco Giordanengo, a standout personal trainer from Temecula, CA. Nominated by Gabe David, Franco embodies the spirit of the Self Made Family, demonstrating relentless commitment to himself, his business, and his clients. His journey from Argentina to becoming one of the most successful independent trainers in our community is a testament to his dedication and passion for fitness.
Early Life and Passion for Sports
Born in 1987 in a small city in Córdoba, Argentina, Franco was immersed in a culture that valued sports and competition. His Italian/Argentinean family instilled in him the importance of leading an active lifestyle from a young age. He began practicing sports like soccer and rugby at just five years old. “Even before we knew how to walk, our parents put a ball under our feet,” Franco recalls, highlighting the early and profound influence of sports in his life.
Franco’s athletic journey took him through various sports, including professional soccer and rugby, downhill mountain biking, and a unique equestrian sport called pato—a blend of rugby and basketball played on horseback. His diverse athletic background has equipped him with a deep understanding of endurance, agility, and power, which he now shares with his clients.
A Career in Personal Training
Franco’s transition into personal training was fueled by his desire to promote a healthy lifestyle. His extensive experience as an athlete, coupled with his academic background in sports science and psycho-pedagogy, enables him to guide clients toward achieving their personal goals. His training includes certifications in advanced sports nutrition, functional training, TRX suspension training, Olympic weightlifting, and more.
Franco’s holistic approach to fitness extends beyond physical training. He studied psycho-pedagogy and early stimulation, focusing on the psychological factors that contribute to motivation. This unique perspective allows him to connect with clients on a deeper level, addressing not just their physical needs but also their mental and emotional well-being.
Commitment to Special Populations
Franco’s passion for helping others is evident in his work with diverse populations. He has experience training high-level athletes, children, individuals with obesity, pregnant women, and people with special needs. His compassionate and knowledgeable approach makes him a versatile trainer capable of tailoring programs to meet the specific needs of each client.
Family and Faith
Franco attributes much of his success to his faith and the support of his family. He expresses deep gratitude for his wife, Abigail Giordanengo, and their son, Liam Giovanni. “I praise God, for He is responsible for everything that happens in my life,” says Franco. His family is a source of inspiration and motivation, driving him to continue pursuing his passion for fitness and helping others.
