Trabajar con mi entrenador ha sido una experiencia que realmente me cambió la vida. 🙌
Desde el primer día me di cuenta de que no es un novato — sabe exactamente lo que hace. Su paciencia, profesionalismo y la forma tan clara en que explica todo marcan una gran diferencia.
Con él nunca hubo ensayo y error, solo resultados, y más resultados. 💥
Aprendí muchísimo, los cambios se notan y el conocimiento que me dejó sigue conmigo.
Lo recomiendo una y mil veces, porque no solo entrena: transforma vidas. 🔥cabe recalcar que es fue mi primera vez entrenado 0 cero conciento al 100 ...

I love working with Coach Nando! I’ve worked out my whole life but as a nurse, Covid turned my world upside down. I was deployed to hot spots and working every day. Gyms were closed, I was tired all the time, and honestly my nutrition went to crap. I gained A LOT of weight.
At one point in my life I was very close to competing in a show but that didn’t happen at that point. It’s always been something I’ve wanted to do. Once I got back in the gym and dialed in the nutrition I lost a lot of weights and gained back my muscle. I knew I still had a lot of work ahead of me and I would do better if I had a coach. I looked at several coaches, local and remote. After I had a consultation call with coach, I knew he was the right coach for me. I could tell from our first conversation that he would be honest with me and he would push me. I have continued losing weight and gaining muscle with his coaching.
I’ve now competed in several shows, done multiple spartan races, and ran my first marathon. I can say with 100% certainty that I am in the best shape of my life and I thank Coach for getting me there. I’m excited to see what we build together over the next year as I transition into a different division.
Whether you are looking for a lifestyle coach and just want to lose some weight, tone up, etc; or you want to start competing, I highly recommend Built by Nando.

I’ve been working with Coach Nando since April and always look forward to my group sessions. He is an excellent coach with magnetic energy and hits the sweet spot between clowning you as a friend and pushing you/being tough when you are trying to reach your goals. He has a lot of experience as a competitor and as a coach. I was already a climber, but I’ve learned so much from him about body weight exercises and using machines, which I had never done before.
I already was a climber with strong back and biceps, and he helped me create a plan to grow my glutes, build stronger legs, and balance out my lower body.
I really love the group training environment and getting paired with other clients, which helps me show up even early in the morning. Some clients are trying to build muscle, lose fat, or become body builders, but regardless of each of our individual goals, we cheer each other on and are part of a team. I’ve also taken a few private sessions, which really helped me.
I’ve definitely seen a change in myself over the last six months physically and in other ways too. I’ve become more disciplined and proactive with my health, nutrition, and habits. And I’m excited to transition to take on new challenges and work towards my ideal physique.

Nando is awesome. Communication - he’s quick, concise, up-front, and straight forward with feedback. All while being kind and professional. Venue - I was able to come in a see the space as he’s building it out and it’s going to be NICE! Tons of space, more equipment than a commercial gym, a huge stage for future events/shows, and an in-house scanner to measure body fat and muscle composition. I can def see what he’s building out and dreaming up, and I know it’s going to be impactful. Location wise is perfect for me - right next to BART. Nando knows his stuff, and I totally trust him and his guidance on getting my body to it’s full potential.

I had the privilege to train at Nando’s gym and meet with Nando himself. Nando shared great insight of the bodybuilding space exuding his knowledge & passion for the sport. I was really appreciative of his time in assessing potential and providing honest feedback. Both Nando and Coach Ryan were so welcoming and provided a safe and comfortable environment for all athletes.
This was overall an incredible space. It’s a multi-level gym with a floor dedicated to a wide range of new machines, a level solely for bench & squat racks, Pilates and private classes. The modern and state of the art equipment will be contrasted with some of the original features of the historical building giving it an elegant charm. There’s even a grand stage for hosting posing seminars and the big show days for those looking to relish in the spotlight. The build is in its final stages but I can see it being the home of future legends. 🏆

This gym felt like paradise. I spent most of the time on the third floor with the machines and weights. You first walk into a grandeur room with a stage front and center. To the side is a room with the weights and machines. The weight room feels just big enough with all the necessary equipment; no need to move far to go from station to station. Coach Ryan was leading the group and he’s an outstanding trainer. Even when we were doing different things, he would make his rounds to check up on each of us and give feedback. Everyone there seemed like high-level athletes but were very friendly and humble. After training, he organized a lineup for posing in the room downstairs that had mirrors set up. All in all, this was an incredible experience. The gym is great and so are the people.

I'm lucky to have had the opportunity to join Nando's bodybuilding team. Nando and Ryan have been helping me get ready for my first Men's Physique competition this year on June 28th. They have been providing me with their guidance on my workout program, my nutrition plan and posing routine. Not only are they experienced coaches, they're good men too. They gym is still work in progress, but still, you'll find EVERYTHING you'll need to get ready for a show or just get in the best shape of your life. The gym has free weights, barbells, plates, machines, kettlebells, pull-up bars, and more equipment I don't have in the back of my mind right now. A true bodybuilding gym. Definitely check it out and join the team!

Had a great experience meeting Nando! He gave me a full tour of the gym—awesome setup with all brand-new machines and everything you need for serious training. He also did a physique assessment, which included a quick workout, and broke down the different training services he offers. He assessed my strength, endurance, and movement patterns to determine the best training approach for me—especially since I'm interested in competing! Nando is a very resourceful coach with a ton of knowledge, and I plan on signing up. You can tell he’s truly passionate about helping people succeed in their fitness goals. Highly recommended!

I had an amazing workout and physique assessment that really opened my mind beyond the basics. Coach Nando’s feedback was blunt, honest, and exactly what I needed. What stood out the most was the atmosphere—it felt like walking into a family.
I’ve been bodybuilding since 2017, and I can honestly say I’ve never felt this at home in a gym before. The space is incredible, and it’s filled with people who share the same mindset and drive. I walked out feeling inspired and truly aligned—and I’m proud to say I’m officially joining the team.

I had an amazing experience with Built by Nando! He offered me a free physique assessment, and it was far more detailed and insightful than I expected. Nando took the time to analyze my physique thoroughly and provided a 20-minute video breakdown highlighting my strengths and pinpointing areas for improvement. His depth of knowledge and professional approach made the entire process incredibly valuable.
What stood out to me the most was his ability to assess weak points accurately and suggest exercises that would help me bring up lagging muscle groups. He didn’t just give generic advice—everything was tailored to my specific structure and goals. His communication was clear, and he made sure I understood the reasoning behind each recommendation.
Getting such a great experience from a professional judge also meant a lot because it’s really hard to evaluate your own physique objectively. Nando has a strong understanding of aesthetics and symmetry, and his knowledge in this area made his assessment even more valuable.
I’m sure he must be doing an amazing job with his own gym and clients as well. He has clearly a lot of dedication and expertise and anyone working with him is in great hands.
If you’re looking for expert guidance, whether you’re a beginner or an advanced lifter, I highly recommend Nando. His passion for helping others improve their physique is evident, and I truly appreciate the time and effort he put into my assessment. Thanks Nando I appreciated 💪

had the pleasure of working with Nando for a free body assessment at the end of my off-season—just before my first cut in a year. Nando meticulously reviewed my show-day physique, dedicating a full 20 minutes to discuss my strengths and pinpoint areas for improvement. He identified key muscle groups such as my chest, lats, and quads that were performing well, while also highlighting areas like my glutes and inner back that could benefit from further focus.
What impressed me most was his detailed explanation of different exercises tailored to enhance those specific areas, truly reflecting his wealth of knowledge in the bodybuilding world. His professional approach and quick, effective communication made the entire process smooth and informative.
Beyond the assessment, I was equally impressed by the extensive resources available on his website—ideal for both seasoned bodybuilders and those just beginning their fitness journey. Although I wish I had discovered Nando before prepping for my first bodybuilding show, I’m confident that if I decide to compete again, he will be the coach I turn to without hesitation.
I highly recommend Nando to anyone looking for expert guidance and a dedicated approach to improving their physique.

I have had my fair share of coaches. Trained for bodybuilding shows. I can say first hand that the knowledge, commitment and expertise you get with Nando and his team is top notch. He his organized, professional, and punctual. His style is very modern and up to date with today’s studies.
One of the most impressive things about him is his giveback to the community. He has done 3, completely free body assessments and nutrition breakdowns for me and my wife. Very detailed and informative. He recorded videos lasting about 20 minutes giving us completely free analytics. You ask another online coach to do that and they will want a 6 month commitment with 2 months down payment.
Nando is the real deal and worth the investment if your serious about your transformation.

Here is some feedback on the recent seminar that I attended, which Coach Nando and their team led. It was indeed a fantastic experience!
The seminar was exceptionally well-organized, providing a straightforward, step-by-step approach that was easy to follow. As someone relatively new to bodybuilding, I found the information presented extremely valuable and user-friendly. The way the content was structured made it accessible and engaging, even for a novice like myself.
I must commend Coach Nando and their team for their professionalism and expertise. Their passion and knowledge in the field of bodybuilding were evident throughout the seminar, and it certainly positively impacted all of us who attended.
Given the quality of this seminar, I recommend working with Coach Nando and their team for any future events or training sessions. Their ability to convey complex information in a simple and organized manner is commendable.
Thank you for organizing such a beneficial seminar. I look forward to participating in more events like this in the future.

Loved the fact that I was able to reach out to Nando and Bere whenever I had questions, doubts, etc.

Since the age of 18, I have been active in some way, shape, or form due to college ROTC/sports etc. I got into weightlifting in 2021 and made beginner progress, but I wanted to really get serious once I was stationed here in SF. I have been training with Nando for over a year now, and he has absolutely changed my life. His level of knowledge, patience, dedication, and kindness in supporting me as well as his network of other folks of all skill levels and desires is truly unique. He has eliminated so many of the common "gym fears" for me, and is such a positive role model for anyone looking to challenge themselves to rise above the rest and SUCCEED!!
The ways in which I have seen my body and confidence grow are unlike anything I could have imagined for myself! Whether you're looking to compete, build solid habits, or just generally learn the basics of the gym - look no further. Nando is the man!

Working with Nando & Bernice was an absolute pleasure. All of the resources & information I needed for a successful prep was provided in a clear & organized format. I competed twice in July 2024 and the shows were just 1 week apart. I worked with them virtually from Omaha, Ne & there was never a point I did not feel supported. I competed in 2 divisions as well, Figure (which I had a little experience with) & wellness (was my first time). Nando & Bernice showed up both shows! Which was also our first time meeting in person & I was so happy! I also had teammates come out to support as well! It was the best experience since I’ve dabbled in the sport. I highly recommend this community of outstanding coaches & athletes.

Coach Nando and his team are truly exceptional. After being introduced to him two years ago, I finally joined his team, and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made. Professional, prompt, and focused on results that matter, training with him is an experience anyone would vouch for. His clients benefit from personalized nutrition plans, comprehensive workouts, and elite coaching. But it doesn’t stop there—he genuinely cares about his clients' overall well-being, including their mental health and financial situations. He goes above and beyond to ensure his clients have everything they need to reach and exceed their fitness goals. His deep experience in the field, combined with personal insights, allows him to deliver world-class service. I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of his community and am confident you will too when you join. Don’t wait—your best life is just a sign-up away. And when you find yourself thanking me later, you’re welcome in advance!

I joined Built by Nando after 6 months with a prior coach who after that time I felt was not the right fit. I interviewed Nando and immediately got a good feeling and felt making the move was the right thing. From the start the support and responses I received throughout the process was exceptional. I never was waiting longer than 24 hours for a reply. The responses were always timely, through and detailed. I always felt heard and the explanations were always specific so I knew what I was doing and why. The posing coaching was also excellent and I felt like I definitely came a long way due to the support I received from the coaches here! The competition prep was exactly what I needed and I felt prepared to get on stage. I cannot wait to continue my journey in the future and compete in more competitions!

A NO BRAINER for getting in the BEST shape of your life!
When I signed up for Built by Nando, I was already in decent shape having been training in the gym for 7 years, but little did I know what was in store for me with this training program.
I purchased the 4 months bodybuilding training plan with Nando on a Friday and by Monday I was introduced to my personally customized nutrition guideline plan along with my personally customized 6-day exercise plan with the ability of communicating and meeting with Nando any time I needed him which was very helpful in the process.
Through the course of 4 months, I went from being 190lb at 16% body fat to 178lb at less than 10% body fat (at 5" 9") while building and maintaining muscle! I was, and continue to be, blown away with my results thanks to Nando's coaching and guidance.
10/10 would highly recommend!

I became a sponsored bikini athlete for BuiltbyNando, it was a good opportunity for overall growth, mentally and physically. The other athletes were very supportive of everyone, it was nice to see that. Personally, I’ve had my ups and downs with Coach Nando, but I know he means well. Coach Fernando and Coach Berenice were very hard on me, they were strict, they told me what I needed to hear. At first I was upset, but in the end, they just want me to succeed. They were pushing for me to grow mentally and physically.
Once I started talking to Coach Nando more, we’ve built a more understanding and closer relationship. He was there for support when I was struggling. During show day, he was sweet like a father, he was patient, he was there supporting all his athletes backstage.
I’ve been to his posing clinics, he gave me opportunities to teach posing.
My building phase with Coach Nando, gave me really good progress for my physique, I was able to grow my glutes a good amount while being able to stay lean.
Overall both Coach Fernando and Coach Berenice are amazing people as you get to know them on a more personal level rather than JUST coach and athlete.
+ you’ll meet other great athletes that will be by your corner as a friend and supporter.

After dieting and training on my own for 6 months- (started at roughly 300lbs and came down to 235lbs when I saw Fernando)I was exhausted and my body had plateaued. At that point I knew I needed to do something different if I wanted to compete on stage so I hired a professional that came recommended by the local IFBB pro in my gym.
From the beginning Fernando not only displayed a level of confidence that was genuine (due to his experience and expertise)but he also is able to pass this confidence on to you as well.
I needed this confidence because he nearly doubled my food intake!!! I was so afraid of getting fat again I was starving myself which I discovered once I started following his meal plan. So now I was on a mission to get lean and I was eating more! Best of both worlds!
24 weeks later, checking in every single week, many diet modifications, hitting every workout and cardio session and regularly posing I was able to step on stage at the 2023 Tahoe Show to which I took 2nd in Open Class and 4th in Masters division. I was extremely satisfied with my results considering where I started and the fact that it was my first show!
Many thanks to you Coach Nando and wife coach Bere. Both of you were ALWAYS there when I needed you and most importantly for me as a bodybuilding nerd - Nando you always were willing to explain the reasoning behind your approach. This is am forever grateful for because you were not only a coach but a teacher as well! I will have this knowledge for the rest of my life now.
If you want to reach far beyond what your mind can imagine for your physique I highly recommend you get on Team Built. You will not be disappointed!!!

I have been working with Coach Nando for about 3 months now and would highly recommend him for anyone who wants to improve their physique: 1. he has decades of experiences in personal training and is very knowledgeable. You can ask him a wide range of questions from muscle building, nutrition, mental health to bodybuilding competition 2. He is always available to answer questions and help you out when you need him despite his busy schedule 3. He has a very positive energy and great sense of humor 4. He leverages a good tech platform to create personalized training program for each of his students. I simply log in to an app and can see the detailed exercise every day with video instructions for each exercise and record my reps and track my progress 5. He also coaches many competitive body builders and if you are looking to try out the sport, he is the man to go. He used to be a competitive bodybuilder and his wife has been in the sport for 8 years! He will guide you through the whole process.

I've been struggling with getting results at the gym for a while and always felt what I get out of it does not match how much time and effort I put in, and it turned to a point that the frustration became something that made me hesitate to workout (why do I keep doing it if I can't get any results back?). so I decided to find some professional help.
It's been almost a year since I started my personal training program with Nando and I am very satisfied. I feel I am more clear on what to do at the gym everyday and the nutrition diet plan guided me on what to eat, which is more important. and we meet every month to check numbers and plan the next cycle. He is also very responsive for any questions regarding our training and nutritions.
I've got very good results on fat loss (body fat -7% YOY) given my tight working schedule and traveling schedule. more importantly, being able to see the result from my efforts really motivates me to keep going and getting better.
The most effective trainers don't just push you, they guide you to see results that motivates you, so you can carry it on yourselves. And Nando is one of them.

I enrolled with Nando after 4-5 terrible experiences with other coaches. I was even more hesitant because I’m out of state but Nando listened to my experiences/doubts and assured me that his coaching style would be different and he did not disappoint. Within the first month of starting my sessions I was able to see a difference in my body. My arms were my biggest insecurity and I was super excited when I could actually see the definition coming in. I have muscles in my legs and arms that I’ve never seen before. Nando cares about your progress, he’s always willing to hop on a call/zoom and he is willing to put in the work with you. 💪🏽 I do not compete and only wanted to “tone”, I got so much more!

If you need an online fitness coach look no further! Fernando not only is a coach but he also set an example as a hard working individual himself - being an NPC competitor, a full time coach, a father… he always gives the best he can and try to lift the people up around him. I started my training program with Nando in January 2022 aiming for the OCB show in July. I remembered during our first zoom call I told him I just want to do a men’s physique debut because I was not confident. However, today I am two weeks out from the show and I feel confident and ready competing in novice and open category! This is not just because my physique has grown but most the mindset and knowledge that I have learned from Nando. I am glad to be part of Team Built athletes and I am striving to be a coach like him in the future!

I have to say Coach Nando and his coaching business, “Built by Nando”, has been quite a great experience and it’s still continuing to be. Coach Nando has got to be one of the most caring and observant and encouraging coaches I’ve come across. He definitely made a change to my physique for the stage and he’s still encouraging me to this day to keep working harder for the next because he sees the potential that I have. Before contacting coach Nando I was just working out to put on size. I had gotten tired of being seen as the guy who was just seen as average or as weak or not that built, so I worked really hard during a bulk on my own to see how I can put on size and I have to admit over time I did and I did it the right way. I had never had the thought of competing either in bodybuilding but once I got more invested in fitness I said to myself “why not nothing or anyone is stopping me” so I set my eyes on a competition and made it my goal. That’s when I met coach Nando and his services and I have to say it was the best decision I had made. He was very intrigued and encouraging and helpful to changing my physique for the stage. Not only that he never put me to the side or overlooked me when it came to my physique, you just know that he genuinely cared and had passion for this. Overall, I highly recommend coach Nando and his business it’s legit and the best experience and the best decision.

All I have is good reviews for this program. When I started wit coach Nando I was at about 190-195 lbs and I’m currently at 170 rightnow. The apps are very convenient and easy to work with in order to count your calories and record your workout progress. I really do see results all the time, and if I don’t it’s my fault because this program literally gives you everything you need. BUILT BY NANDO!!

Coach Nando is a subject matter expert that is nothing but professional. He can help you get to where you want to be physically, no matter what goals you set for yourself. He has the credentials, accolades, and experience from doing this for the majority of his life. Extremely knowledgeable and genuine. He not only values your time by meeting with you, but he spends time on a personalized nutrition and workout plan for you. He is always available to answer your questions. Most importantly, he cares about your progression and growth. If you truly follow his direction, you will not regret the investment. Don't hesitate! He is happy to have an initial call even if you're on the fence (because I was)...best investment I ever made (that’s why I keep coming back).

Working with coach Nando was Amazing! I love the meal plan he created for me and the withouts! I’ve never said this but, I’ll say this about him, the meal plan he create is not the boring standard of chicken and rice! IT WAS AMAZING! I used to think lifting would just make me bigger and more bulky but, with the right workouts and nutrition that wasn’t true. Coach Nando was able to find the right balance of workouts and nutrition for me! If you stick to his program you will reach your goals!!!! TRUST HIM! TRUST THE PROCESS! GREAT COACH!

If you are tired of failing each time you don't reach your goals and you are willing to see changes Nando is the coach you need! I started his program about 3 months ago, in the beginning due to bad experiences with past coaches I was a bit nervous. However since day one when I mentioned to Nando what were my goals he understood and since that day I knew he was the right coach. Coach Nando is very knowledgeable of his work, response quick to any questions you may have, and is supportive every step of the way! During these months I've been able to shred fat and at the same time gain muscle something I had struggle with for the past years! Remember his work will get you where you want to be but you must put in the work and follow everything to the T! Definitely don't regret joining this team, now I am more excited to have Nando by my side for my first Bikini competition. If you looking for two coaches (him and his wife) trust me it's worth it both of them have taught me a lot and learn a lot from them, they are professional and always willing to help in anyway possible ! 2022 is going to be a great one with their coaching guidance !

My fitness journey had many up and downs. I struggled with many aspects of life it self and just getting it together for my fitness goals. I decided I would take it to the next level and get serious about finally competing in bodybuilding. Get serious meant I needed to learn a lot about bodybuilding and how to prep for a show. Nando literally held my hand and guided me thru everything. He is not just a coach but he is amazing human being. He was there for me emotionally and mentally. He cheered me on and still told me what I needed to hear by giving honest and heartfelt advice. He is well rounded and will give you the right information. I got lucky and got two coaches and his wife was always on my corner as well. She cheered me and always had valuable advice. They make a great team. If you need a real coach for competitions or just some to get you to your goals he is the guy for you.

My experience since joining the team with coach Nando has been outstanding. I honestly could not ask for a better coach that knows what he is talking about and puts in the work with you . If you are looking to change your life forever you need to hit this coach up . He deals with a lot of clients but always finds the time to get connected with all us . My life has change so much , thank you coach nando .
