About
Hi! I am Fabio Zonin, a former powerlifter and natural bodybuilder with an inexhaustible passion for strength training. I have been in the industry for over 40 years, during which time I have worn many hats: fitness center owner, teacher, vice president of AINBB (Italian Natural Bodybuilding Association) and international speaker at conferences on strength training, bodybuilding and fitness.
For almost two decades, I have been a master teacher for the Italian Fitness Federation (FIF), helping to train numerous athletes and enthusiasts throughout Italy. I mean, if weights are involved, I’m probably involved too!
Currently, my main venture is with StrongFirst, one of the most internationally renowned strength training schools. As a Certified Master Instructor for StrongFirst, I teach kettlebell, bodyweight, and barbell instructor certification courses in Europe, the UK, USA, Canada, Latin America, Israel, Australia, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, India, and other countries. I am privileged to be able to develop and implement advanced training programs that help athletes and coaches reach new heights. My work with StrongFirst is a perfect mix of passion and professionalism and allows me to be at the forefront of innovations in the field of strength training at all times.
I am also a Contract Professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Padua, where I contribute to the training of future professionals in the sector.
I also have senior roles with other major international organizations. I am the European Director of Operations & Specialist for Flexible Steel, where I coordinate European operations and specialize in flexibility and strength techniques. In addition, as a Master Instructor for Original Strength, I conduct courses and workshops on postural reset and functional strength techniques around the world.
For SBB (Sustainable Bodybuilding), I am a lecturer dedicated to teaching advanced courses on sustainable bodybuilding and strength training, developing educational materials and curricula that promote a balanced and healthy approach to bodybuilding. I also collaborate with Fitness X, an online platform dedicated to education in the fields of fitness, strength, bodybuilding and functional training.
In addition to in-person teaching, I have developed a series of online courses covering various aspects of strength and fitness training. These courses are designed to allow anyone, anywhere to access high-quality content and learn the best training techniques. Some of my most popular online courses include “Barbell Fundamentals,” “Built Strong Minimalist,” “Built Strong Maximum,” “Squat Masterclass,” “Progressive Swap,” Programmazione e Didattica degli Esercizi con Bilanciere” e “Diventa forte con i kettlebell”. Each course is designed to offer a comprehensive learning path from the basics to advanced techniques to help you get the most out of your workouts.
Writing is another of my passions. I have authored and co-authored technical instructional manuals and books such as “Reload,” “Kettlebell: Hard and Essential,” and “High Intensity Bodybuilding.” I have also written numerous articles for reputable magazines and websites such as StrongFirst, Dragondoor, Original Strength, Federazione Italiana Fitness and La Palestra. I have collaborated on scientific studies, some of which have been published on prestigious platforms such as PubMed and ResearchGate.
My commitment to the fitness world does not stop there. I have worked with leading sports equipment and nutritional supplement companies such as Panatta Sport, Axon Fitness Equipment, Eurosup, GSA-Tea, and Box Functional Training Equipment. Each collaboration has been an opportunity to innovate and further improve the training world while learning something new.
I consider myself an eternal student, always looking for new knowledge and techniques to learn and share with my students. I firmly believe that the learning process never ends, and every day I try to expand my knowledge to offer the best to those who rely on my expertise.
In short, my path has been a mix of sweat, study and a lot of passion. If you want to improve your strength, explore natural bodybuilding, and learn how to get the most out of kettlebell, barbell, or free-body training, you’ve come to the right place!
