Gui Silva
Coach
Coach Gui began his fitness journey nearly a decade ago in his home country of Brazil. Driven by a desire to improve his health, Gui committed to transforming his lifestyle—ultimately losing over 30 pounds through dedication, consistency, and hard work. This experience sparked a deeper realization: health and wellness are essential to a long, fulfilling life, and he wanted to help others experience the same transformation.
Before entering the fitness industry, Gui spent years helping people in a different way—as a language teacher, instructing both English and Portuguese. His background in education sharpened his communication skills and reinforced the value of strong teacher-student (now coach-athlete) relationships.
After relocating to the United States, Gui interned at CrossFit Westport, where he transitioned from student to full-time coach. In late 2022, he joined the CrossFit Milford team and has since become a respected and valued member of the coaching staff.
Coach Gui is known for his clear communication, supportive demeanor, and ability to connect with athletes at all levels. He believes that success in the gym begins with trust and understanding—and when those are in place, results follow. His mission is to empower clients to improve both physically and mentally, helping them build habits that support lifelong health.
