ADAPTED CROSSFIT ATHLETE / FATHER / HUSBAND / MOTIVATOR
Diego Coelho is a dedicated adapted CrossFit athlete, proud father to Jorginho, loving husband to Suzi, and a passionate advocate for independence in a wheelchair. Originally from São Paulo, Brazil, Diego's journey took a turn 14 years ago when an accident led to him becoming a wheelchair user. However, that moment became the catalyst for his transformation.
In 2017, Diego moved to Brasília when he got married, and he is currently spending time in Orlando training with his coach. His social media presence is all about showcasing his daily life, breaking barriers, and inspiring others to seek independence. Diego believes in demonstrating what’s possible as a father, athlete, and wheelchair user.
Two years after his accident, Diego faced a new challenge—his weight reached 136kg. In 2013, he underwent bariatric surgery, which led him to discover sports, changing his life forever. Now, as a dedicated athlete, Diego continues to push limits and prove that with determination, anything is possible.
