All it took was a week in the Magic City sun to bring personal trainer Giacomo Gomiero to our shores. We caught up with Gomiero for a Quick 10 interview, but you can also follow him on Instagram – @sobe.lift.
Tell us about yourself -where are you from and how did you find your way to the 305?
Iwas born in Italy and grew up in Monterey, California. I ended up in the 305via ambitions. The small beach-town of Northern California started to feel likea small shirt that no longer fit. I came to South Beach for a fun week withfriends eight years ago. That’s when I felt in love with the 305, and knew Ihad to move here to pursue my ambitions in the fitness industry.
