Giovanni is a co-founder of Flexpress Fitness, established in 2023. He is a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing from Franklin Pierce University.
Gio's professional experience is complemented by his personal journey of significant weight loss — shedding over 100 pounds — which underpins his deep commitment to fostering client success. His transformation began at 265 lbs, where he faced pre-diabetes, joint pain, and limited mobility.
Motivated by his grandfather’s health struggles and a desire to build a better life for his fiancée and family, Giovanni took charge of his health. This life-changing journey now fuels his passion to help others overcome their own barriers and achieve their fitness goals. Giovanni has extensive experience training clients with chronic conditions, including Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and arthritis, designing programs that improve mobility, strength, and overall quality of life.
He also specializes in sustainable weight loss, helping clients build long-term habits that lead to transformation inside and out. At Flexpress Fitness, Giovanni and his business partner Turner Sykes work side by side to oversee all personal training services. In addition to coaching, Giovanni leads the business’s brand development marketing strategy, and day-to-day operational functions.
He also designs Flexpress merchandise and coordinates promotional events to grow the brand’s presence both online and in the community. Giovanni’s mission is simple: to help people break through limits — physically, mentally, and emotionally — and become the strongest version of themselves.

Talk To Gio
Turner co-founded Flexpress Fitness in the fall of 2023 alongside longtime friend Giovanni Barreiro. His passion for fitness, paired with a strong desire to help others reach their personal goals, was a driving force behind launching the brand. Since then, Turner has played an essential role in building the Flexpress identity from the ground up. While his responsibilities span across many areas of the business, Turner is the creative engine behind the brand’s content.
As the lead content creator, editor, and director, he is responsible for producing the short-form video content, workout highlights, and branded media that define Flexpress’s presence online. His eye for visual storytelling and consistency in execution have helped grow the company's digital reach and engagement.
Turner has been dedicated to strength training since the winter of 2020 and has achieved notable personal records, including a 260 lb bench press, 300 lb squat, and 315 lb deadlift. His own fitness journey fuels his authenticity and relatability in the content he produces.
He is currently pursuing a Business Management degree at Rivier University, with plans to earn his Master’s degree. In addition to academics and business, Turner is a lifelong athlete and passionate about sports. He played collegiate basketball at Great Bay Community College during the 2022–2023 season, where his discipline on the court translated directly into his work ethic in the gym and in business.
Turner’s vision for Flexpress is clear: create a brand that not only motivates, but also educates, entertains, and inspires real change. Whether it’s through a video, a workout, or a message — his goal is to help people move forward with confidence and strength
At Flexpress Fitness, we’re more than just trainers—we’re a community dedicated to empowering individuals to achieve their health and fitness goals. Our journey began with a simple mission: to create a supportive environment where everyone, regardless of their fitness level, feels inspired and equipped to make lasting changes.
