Nico Gil has lived and breathed sport since he was a child, representing his country in international swimming and water polo competitions and ending his career as a professional athlete in Europe. Today he is a renowned personal and high-performance trainer.

His career as an athlete, combined with complex and continuous training and experience acquired over the years, have allowed him to transcend and develop his own training systems aimed at the different branches of physical activity: Health and Sports Performance. His broad professional spectrum allows him to work with different types of clients, from people who want to improve their body composition, rehabilitate an injury, improve their physical condition, through world-class professional athletes, to the preparation of “extreme” personal challenges.

The key to his success lies in his love for his work, helping other people achieve their goals. He can be seen daily swimming, running, surfing with friends, enjoying a sunset rowing on a Stand Up Paddle, training in his living room or on the beach with his family.

Since 2008, Nico has been using the T-BOW® for his personal training, both in the field of health and sports performance.

I have started jump rope after my father had established a school club for children with learning disabilities, and for students from poor families to practice skipping, so that they can improve their skills and have an access to a simple and great tool – a jump rope.

​

Plenty of schoolchildren found great challenge, had lots of fun, and opportunities by joining the jump rope club, so the initial goal has been achieved quite fast.

We joined the International Federation of Rope Skipping (FISAC) and had the chance to compete at World and European Championship.

​

My dream as a child was ready to come true – I wished to become the best in the whole world at something – which turned to be jump rope. After several World and European Champion titles, we received requests to perform at some very prestigious events (Cirque du Soleil, NBA New York Knicks, Orlando Magic, Hollywood – Home and Family etc.). Jump rope proved to be the sport I enjoy the most, and I believe that it has unique benefits not only to our physical but also to our mental well-being.

​

Being a Physical Education teacher, I constantly look for possibilities to share my jump rope knowledge, so more of us can enjoy the benefits of skipping. Over the last years, we taught numerous jump rope workshops which received great feedback.

​

Thanks to all the positive reinforcement, Jumpplus World has been created. Both the name and the program reflects our intention: using a simple tool to its maximum potential, and aim to share the modern use of jump rope with as many people as possible – there are plenty of possibilities even with a jump rope in your hand – it can take you all around the world.

​

In the light of these goals, I am happy to share with you our mission!
