I was born in Germany but grew up traveling and living in various countries including Brazil and South Africa. A former professional equestrian endurance racer, I earned my degree in Sports Science and became passionate about working with both high-performance and disabled track athletes. I have also participated in Ironman events and several multi-day and adventure races – the longer, the tougher, the better. Now, I happily travel from ship to ship to oversee AmaWaterways’ wellness activities and ensure our standards remain at the highest level.

My name is Tiago Silva Monteiro, and I am from Porto, Portugal. I have a Master’s Degree in Sports Education and have always had a great passion for wellness and fitness from a very early age. My main focus is to pass on my knowledge and skills to others and also to show people that with a healthy mindset, great change is possible! I see the whole body as an interlinked system of muscles that I like to challenge and improve through things like yoga, Pilates and positive thinking.

Physical activity has always been an essential part of my life. It is not only my job, it is my passion and way of life. I am a qualified fitness instructor, personal trainer and spa and wellness therapist born in Poland. I graduated from the University of Physical Education and Sport in Gdansk and completed a master's degree in Tourism and Recreation. I love helping people achieve their fitness-related goals. Soccer is my favorite team sport but I also enjoy swimming and mountain biking. I am eager to welcome you at my classes and hope to see you on board soon!
