About
Hi! I'm Álvaro, and I'm a personal trainer located in Sugar Land, TX. I grew up playing a variety of sports including basketball, tennis, & soccer. To this day, I still compete recreationally in track & field. Athletics is my passion, and I truly enjoy helping people reach their goals. I am CPR/AED certified, and I received certification through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. I offer both online and in-person training. Watch video below for a proper introduction and see how this family-owned small business all started out!
Train with me virtually or 1:1 at my studio in Sugar Land! My training methodology is athletic-based, and workouts are specific to individual goals. I train Adults and Kids ages 12 & up.
Services
Everyone has different goals and at different levels. I tailor all workouts specific to you so don't feel intimidated! I specialize in speed development, weight loss, muscle tone, posture correction, cardio fitness, and core strength. Additionally, I can help with nutrition and building lean muscle (hypertrophy). If you're interested in group training, please send me an email at info@paramount-athletics.

Do you want 6-pack abs?
We all have them. The trick is to reduce body fat percentage to make them visible. Men tend to start seeing abs at about 12% body fat and women at 20%. First, you must understand that calories come from: Carbohydrates, Fats, and Protein. Calories are burned in that order! So, to burn body fat, you must burn through your carbohydrates first.
3,500 Calories = 1 Pound of Fat. If you reduce daily calories by 500, in 1 week, you will have lost 1 true pound of body fat. (-500cal x 7 days = -3,500 calories)
​
1g of Carbohydrates = 4 Calories
1g of Fat = 9 Calories
1g Protein = 4 Calories
​
My biggest advice for clients is to keep protein intake HIGH. Typically, 1g per pound of body weight. If your goal is to weigh 150lbs, then consume 150g of protein spread throughout the day. Keep Fats at around 40-60g per day (you need fat to transfer Vitamins A, D, E, and K), and Carbs will depend on your goals. 100g-200g works well on non-training days and for Fat Loss goals for most people. On training days, 200-400g*.
​
*We all have different body types and use calories differently. You can research these in detail: Mesomorph, Ectomorph, and Endomorph.
​
I typically consume anywhere from 180g to 240g of protein each day starting with 50g of whey protein isolate mixed with black coffee in the morning. I'm 6'2 and weigh 184-188lbs as a reference. My protein sources: whole eggs, salmon, chicken, steak, lentils, oatmeal, and whey protein isolate.
