Matteo Perna · Barcelona & Italy
Matteo Perna develops strength in people and brings a trainer’s understanding to the spaces where they train. His work spans private coaching, athletic performance, and gym consultancy for homes, residences, and hotels.
Introduction
Matteo Perna’s interest in strength began as a teenager, when he played amateur football as a defender in Italy with the aim of becoming a professional player. Alongside his team sessions, he began training independently with a strength coach, and the improvement he felt on the pitch changed the direction of his career.
He then chose to study Sport Sciences rather than pursue a football career, graduating in 2006 from Rome’s Istituto Universitario di Scienze Motorie (IUSM), now the Università degli Studi di Roma “Foro Italico.” He went on to work with sports teams and individual athletes, and today he is particularly interested in strength as a foundation for a long, active life.
