FrançaisHI, I'M ALESSANDRO.
Alessandro Lisco ISSA-certified personal trainer
Where passion meets method.
Fitness has been part of my life for over 17 years. Today, I bring that passion to your training journey.
Understand your body.
Train your potential.
I'm Alessandro Lisco, an ISSA Europe Level 3 certified personal trainer. I work at Virgin Active Porta Vittoria in Milan, where I provide one-to-one training programs.
Bodybuilding has been a passion of mine for years. I continue to study the human body and explore longevity: I believe in training that matters today and over time.
My work starts with listening. Your goals, experience and habits form the basis of a personal program, with a focus on technique and sustainable progression.
Let's meetMY STORY, BEYOND THE GYM.
Before a program,
there’s a person.
My professional background includes seventeen years in hospitality, across restaurants, cocktail bars and venue management. In Milan I have worked at places including Finger’s Garden, View Live Restaurant and Lucid Club; seasonal roles have also taken me to Megève, Porto Cervo and Monaco.
People have always been at the center: listening, understanding different needs, paying attention to details and staying precise under pressure. I bring that same care to personal training, alongside my passion for bodybuilding and continuing study of the human body.
Fitness has been part of my life for over 17 years. My ISSA Europe third-level certification and work as a PT at Virgin Active Porta Vittoria give that passion a clear framework: personal, practical training built through conversation.
I am also the father of two children. I know the days when work, family, and unexpected demands are difficult to fit together, so I care about training that belongs in real life. I want the strength to keep up with my kids and space to care for myself, beyond what I see in the mirror. That experience shapes how I listen, without assuming everyone has the same time or support.
Let’s start a conversation.
My approach, in three words.
Listening
The program starts with the person: their experience, their time and their goals.
Precision
Movement quality comes first. Every exercise has a purpose in the program.
Consistency
Good training is also training you can sustain. Progress is built over time.

Listen before making a proposal
When someone explains why they want to start training, my first task is to listen. A request that sounds simple can sit within very different experiences: a long break, unfamiliar equipment, an interest in weight training or difficulty continuing something that has already begun. I want to understand that context before discussing exercises. You do not need technical language or a decision about which package to buy. A clear conversation helps separate the outcome you would like from the practical conditions we need to consider. Those details give the next discussion a purpose and help us explore what kind of support would make sense for you.
Attention to people and details
My background in hospitality taught me to pay attention both to people and to the details around them. In personal training, that attention takes a different form: making instructions understandable, listening to a question properly and avoiding the assumption that a movement is clear just because it has been demonstrated. This describes an approach to a working relationship, rather than an additional qualification or a promise of results. My previous professional experience and my time in fitness remain distinct parts of my biography. What connects them is an interest in how people communicate, the quality of a conversation and taking care over the work in front of me.
A lasting interest that keeps asking questions
Fitness has been part of my life for more than seventeen years, and bodybuilding remains an important personal interest. That time describes my involvement in fitness; it is not a statement that I have worked professionally as a trainer for that entire period. Continuing to study means keeping questions open about the body and training, without presenting every new idea as a universal solution. My interest in longevity belongs to that ongoing learning. It is not a medical service or a promise to extend anyone’s life. It reflects an interest in training that makes sense beyond initial enthusiasm and can be discussed as a longer term commitment.
A working relationship where questions are welcome
I want people who train with me to feel able to ask why they are doing a particular piece of work. Understanding a choice makes feedback more useful: you can explain what feels difficult, which instructions need clarification and how you are experiencing the program. Knowing the boundaries of the service matters too. Personal training does not replace diagnosis, treatment or rehabilitation; health needs belong with the appropriate qualified professionals. Being clear about these distinctions helps us keep expectations accurate. You do not have to prove that you are already confident or knowledgeable to begin a conversation. Your starting point is information we can discuss, rather than a test you need to pass.
