Mauro Fialho is a powerful and popular IFBB pro bodybuilder with a strong social media presence. Based in Barcelona, he currently has over 350,000 followers across his various social media platforms. He is particularly in demand on TikTok (150,000 followers) and Instagram (140,000 followers). He also has a personal website through which he sells his services as a personal fitness trainer, his fitness plans, and his ebooks. All of his content is in his native Spanish.
Fialho first fell in love with sports as a child. Not particularly interested in school, it provided an arena in which he could prove his strong will and self-discipline. Initially, he played football, but after sustaining several injuries, he turned instead to weightlifting. He became enamoured by the mix of aesthetics and performance that weights offered, and by the time he reached his early twenties, he’d begun competing in professional competitions. In eight years of competing, he has become regional champion an incredible seven times and finished runner-up in the Spanish National Championships. He has also finished fourth in the European Championships and achieved many podium finishes in Diamond Cup competitions in France, Malta, Romania, and Sweden. His first gold medal came at the Olympia Amateur tournament in Portugal.
Since 2013, Fialho has also been busy building a community of like-minded souls, who either already weightlift or want to get into it for any number of reasons. His huge numbers of followers and subscribers suggest that he has established himself as one of the figureheads of the Spanish-speaking bodybuilding world.
