From Zaragoza to California and now Miami: A Journey Fueled by Movement
Hi, I’m Carmelo, and this is the story behind BALANZE 365.
My passion for movement began in Zaragoza, Spain, watching my older cousin breakdance in the streets. His ability to speak through his body lit a spark in me, a passion for movement that’s never faded.
Over time, that spark turned into discipline. I threw myself into handball, learning structure, resilience, and respect for the human body. That curiosity grew deeper into injury prevention and recovery, strength training, kinesiology, and eventually into a lifelong commitment to performance, healing, and self-mastery.
From Performance to Purpose
When I was 18, I moved to California and explored every style of training: CrossFit, calisthenics, running, strength and conditioning… but nothing impacted me like the day I stepped into a Muay Thai gym in Los Angeles.
Muay Thai taught me more than technique. It taught me how to breathe through discomfort. How to stay calm in chaos. How to meet life with purpose.
Then came a major curveball, a serious knee injury. I applied everything I knew to heal myself physically, mentally, and emotionally. That recovery led me to walk the Camino de Santiago, closing a powerful chapter of healing and stepping into something new.
Breathwork Found Me in the Jungle
In the rainforest of Costa Rica, everything changed. I was in a horse stable, of all places, when I experienced my first true meditation, and it opened the door to something deeper: Breathwork.
A year passed and I got certified. I kept training, and I made it my mission: To guide others back to their strongest, calmest, most aligned selves through breath, movement, and awareness.
Breathwork Coach • Movement Specialist
Certified in Traditional Balinese Massage Theraphy in Bali, Indonesia
Built on Science, Sharpened by Experience
During my 7 years living in California, I dedicated myself to understanding the science behind human performance. I studied Kinesiology in Sacramento, deepened my knowledge of Movement Science in Los Angeles, and specialized in Exercise Science and Movement Science in Turlock.
While in L.A., I worked at my university as an athletic trainer assistant, helping athletes recover from injuries and get back to peak performance. Later, I served as a Performance Coach in Turlock, applying everything I’d learned — helping athletes push their limits safely, intentionally, and with purpose.
Every step, every rep, every breath was part of building what would eventually become BALANZE 365.
BALANZE 365 — Where Body, Breath & Balance Meet
I’ve worked with everyone from professional boxers, athletes to firefighters, CEOs, and seniors with mobility challenges.
What I’ve seen is universal: When you master your breath, you unlock your true power.
BALANZE 365 is more than a method, it’s a mindset.
A way to return to yourself, every single day.
A space to reset, reconnect, and rebuild your body, breath, and balance, in harmony.
Let’s Get to Work!
Whether you’re here to move better, breathe deeper, or just find your rhythm again, welcome.
Let’s do this together.
Let’s get back to BALANZE…
