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.

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.

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

I have been working as a freelance artist and sport professional. I graduated as a Physical Education and English Language and Literature teacher in Hungary, in 2006. During my university years I played handball professionally, as well as, I was in the National Jump Rope Team of Hungary, with which we won several World & European Championships.

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.

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.).

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!
