Gio Principe

Gio Principe discovered his passion for fitness at the age of 16, which inspired him to pursue a career in the field. In 2014, he graduated from the University of Rhode Island with a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science and a minor in Nutrition. During his college years, Gio focused on bodybuilding, completed internships working with athletes, and gained foundational knowledge in mainstream weightlifting and fitness science.

​

After graduation, Gio joined The Arena, where he immersed himself in a collaborative environment with highly knowledgeable colleagues. Over his first four years, he honed his skills, took on numerous clients, and expanded his expertise by studying a diverse range of subjects, including martial arts, Olympic lifting, hypertrophy, strength training, biomechanics, mobility, tai chi, meditation, and psychology.

​

This exploration led Gio to recognize that internal development and health are the core principles underlying all aspects of fitness and personal growth. Since then, he has dedicated himself to mastering meditation, self-awareness, and understanding the complex interplay between the mind and body. Gio believes that by mastering one’s internal state, individuals can unlock their full potential in all areas of life.
