Guilherme Silva

Coach Gui’s fitness journey began 9-years ago while living back home in Brazil. It was during this time Gui made the decision to get in shape and, as a result, of his hard-work & determination Gui lost over 30lbs. Afterwards he realized how crucial his health and wellness is to living a long & meaningful life and decided that wanted to pursue a career in fitness.

Prior to coaching, Gui fueled his passion for helping people by working as a language teacher - teaching both English and Portuguese. Eventually he would move to the United States from Brazil and shortly thereafter, he started interning at CrossFit Westport before becoming a full-time coach. Gui would eventually come on to the CrossFit Milford team in late 2022 and has been a valued team member ever since.

Coach Gui credits his early career as a teacher for showing him the importance of the coach-athlete relationship. He knows that with good communication, relationships grow strong and then individuals have a far greater opportunity to achieve the success that they’re chasing. Looking ahead Gui wants to continue impacting the lives of the people he works with both physically and mentally, so that they too can live a long & healthy life.
