Marcel da Cruz’s work is perhaps more important than ever.

The Korona crisis has meant that several athletes have to maintain their shape by themselves more than ever before.

That means an increased demand for fitness trainers.

“It is very, very nice for people to ask, but now I have my hands full,” Marcel da Cruz told TV 2.

For several years he has had several of Norway’s biggest sports names as clients. He is usually Casper Ruud’s regular fitness trainer.

But it is not only Ruud who enjoys Cruz’s services in these crown times: he takes the time to work with soccer stars Joshua King and Sander Berge, to name a few.

– There are probably many people who need help today who are not used to doing things on their own. They are used to doing their own thing. Suddenly, the routines are broken. So it’s good to have someone who knows how to get the same effect in some type of training and guide them through it, says Marcel da Cruz.

Casper Ruud is one of those who has broken his daily life. Normally, I would play tournaments almost every day these days.

– Marcel is important to me, especially now. I believe that many practitioners find it difficult to exert themselves, especially in these times. It may be a little different for a skier who has just finished the season,
but for me, who should have been in season, it is difficult to motivate myself. But Marcel manages to get me out of bed and do difficult workouts. It has been a great help, says Casper Ruud.

He has been at the highest level in various sports.

Marcel da Cruz was born in Brazil, but has a Norwegian mother and has lived mainly in Norway. He has even played high-level basketball. At the same time, he was engaged in athletics, where the steps and the length of wood were his specialties.

On top of all that, he actually has the King’s trophy as a bobsleigh artist.

Marcel da Cruz believes that his versatile experience is a definitive force in his work now.

– I wanted to be number one and be super good in a sport, but I wasn’t. Instead, I have been good at various sports. I have experienced a lot in the sports field. I think it is a good experience: I know that sitting alone, having no friends and acting at the same time is not so easy. There are many who can be at home and in their own backyard, but immediately they will act, it is not for everyone, says Marcel da Cruz.
