I trained with Simon Selle for five weeks, and it was truly a game changer. At first, I was intimidated, but Simon immediately put me at ease. He is kind, knowledgeable, and versatile—just as comfortable working with an existing program as he is building a new one tailored to your needs. I loved training with him so much that I’d be bummed if I was running late.

The studio itself is well-equipped, and conveniently located—if you take the C110 bus and exit near the Grand Menaggio Hotel, you’re literally a minute away. The hours are flexible, and despite my very beginner-level Italian, Simon patiently answered all my questions and made me feel welcome.

I came to training after weeks of indulging in pasta and needing to re-establish a routine. When my plantar fasciitis flared up (my own fault for thinking it was fine to run in Vans), Simon immediately adjusted the workouts to keep me on track without risk of injury.

His rates were comparable to what I’ve paid in the U.S., but what I received was far more specialized, thoughtful, and personal.

The studio walls lined with medals and honors from his years in grappling and jiu-jitsu tell you he is the real thing—an athlete who practices what he preaches. But it’s his ability to meet you exactly where you are that makes the biggest difference. Working with Simon is, in my opinion, the best investment you can make in yourself while in Italy. A truly beautiful experience!

Simone has a great gym in Menaggio. Has everything you need and more for a great workout. He was very fast to respond when inquiring about a private session to use his gym. Thank you Simone for the hospitality while on my vacation!

Awsome small gym right in the heart of Menaggio. Simone was really good to communicate with via what’s app and had all the equipment you need for a great workout. I just did a ‘self directed session’ but Simone also offers personal training sessions which after talking with him I’m sure would be Fantastic as after talking with him I realised he is a super knowledgeable guy. High recommend and thanks again Simone!!
