Eykman Silva training with battle ropes

You don’t need another workout.

You need training that fits your life.

The people I coach play padel and volleyball, run, cycle, swim and race. Many of them have demanding jobs. They want to stay strong while improving their endurance, and they need every session to count.

Your training should support your life, not take it over.

Train for performance. Train for life.

Training isn’t only about how you look. It’s about what your body allows you to do: the strength to carry it, the endurance to last, the mobility to move freely, the athletic movement your sport asks for, and the recovery to do it all again tomorrow.

From athlete to performance coach

Sport has been part of my life since I was seven. Football led me to volleyball, where I spent more than ten years competing at a high level, including the Brazilian Superliga, the Brazilian national team 🇧🇷 and international clubs.

After moving to Dubai, I turned that experience into more than ten years of personal training and coaching. Sport taught me how to prepare, perform, recover and respect the body. That’s what I teach: training should improve what your body can do.

My Story 🇧🇷

From Athlete to Performance Coach

Eykman Silva playing volleyball for Brazil

  2. 11Discovered volleyball
  3. 14Left home for a better structure and a scholarship
  4. 10+Years of high-level volleyball
  5. DUBAIBecame a fitness trainer
  6. EYKMANFITNESSTrain like an athlete. Live life your way.

Where it started

I started playing sport at around seven, with football. Around eleven I moved into volleyball.

I came from a very humble family. My parents didn't have unlimited resources, but they supported me as much as they could. At fourteen I got the opportunity to leave my hometown to train in a better sporting structure, with a scholarship to continue my education. It became a major turning point, and many new opportunities followed. I see many of them as blessings from God.

The professional athlete

Volleyball became my main sport and my professional career. I spent more than 10 years competing at a high level: in the Brazilian Superliga, with the Brazilian national team and for international clubs.

What matters most is what it taught me first-hand: heavy training volume, competition, pressure, travel, fatigue, recovery, injury and setbacks, team environments, discipline and consistency. It showed me what it really takes to prepare a body to perform.

Sport was my education.

More than volleyball

Volleyball was my only professional sport, but I never stopped exploring others. Football, basketball, handball, tchoukball, footvolley, beach volleyball, pickleball, swimming and running each ask the body for something different: strength, power, speed, agility, coordination, balance, mobility, endurance, reaction and movement control.

That variety shaped how I understand the human body and how different activities demand different things from it.

The body as an instrument

As my career developed, I became curious about something beyond the game: the body itself. For an athlete it is the instrument of work. To perform, you need to develop it, prepare it, recover it, adapt it and protect it.

That curiosity became a passion. I studied training, physical preparation, movement mechanics, strength, conditioning, mobility, endurance and recovery, and I started helping friends and family. What began as personal interest became a professional path.

From athlete to coach

After my professional volleyball career I moved to Dubai and began working as a fitness trainer. The role changed. Before, I was developing my own performance. Now I was helping other people develop theirs.

In more than 10 years of coaching in Dubai I've worked with very different bodies, lifestyles, goals and challenges. I've helped people get stronger, improve their fitness and their lifestyle, and achieve things they once thought were beyond them.

Sled push trainingAgility ladder drill

The goal isn't to make someone train harder. It's to help them become more capable.

How the method was built

My method didn't come from one course or one certification. It evolved over years: study, practice, application, testing, observation and refinement, repeated again and again.

I studied training theory, movement mechanics, physical preparation, strength, conditioning, endurance, mobility and recovery. I applied it, tested different approaches, watched the results and learned what worked, what didn't and what needed to adapt. My personal testing isn't scientific proof. It complements my education, my athletic experience and my years of coaching.

Why Eykmanfitness

I wanted to take what I'd learned beyond the volleyball court, and help more people become stronger, fitter, more resilient, more capable and more confident in their bodies.

Most people aren't professional athletes. They have careers, businesses, families, travel and limited time. They don't need to live like athletes. They can train like athletes and still live a normal life. That is the foundation of Eykmanfitness.

The goal isn't to make training your entire life. It's to build a body that supports your life: better padel or volleyball, Spartan / OCR, swimming, endurance, strength, moving well, coming back from injury, and long-term health. The principles stay the same: Build. Perform. Protect. Sustain.

What took me years to learn, you don't have to figure out alone.

I spent years learning through sport, study, practice and coaching. Now I want to make that experience practical for you. My role is to help you understand your body, train intelligently and progressively, and build physical capacity that carries into real life.

I spent years learning how to build and maintain a high-performing body. Now I want to help you do the same, in a way that fits your life.

Train like an athlete. Live life your way.
