An Inspired Chat with Mathieu Bolillo of Las Vegas

We recently had the chance to connect with Mathieu Bolillo and have shared our conversation below.

Mathieu, really appreciate you sharing your stories and insights with us. The world would have so much more understanding and empathy if we all were a bit more open about our stories and how they have helped shaped our journey and worldview. Let’s jump in with a fun one: What do you think others are secretly struggling with—but never say?
Others are secretly struggling with their WHY. They never say WHY they want to loose weight, move better, feels better and so on.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi, I’m Mathieu Bolillo — former Cirque du Soleil performer, holistic fitness coach, and author of Unleashing the Handstand in You. I combine my performance background with deep mind-body awareness to help people build strength, balance, and confidence from the inside out. I’m also the creator of BoliFit, a unique training device and method designed to unlock your full physical potential through movement, breath, and Balance.

Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. What was your earliest memory of feeling powerful?
When I was 8 and I did my first front handspring

When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
When I was 30, I contracted chicken pox and almost died from it. At that time, I was considering myself as a victim. Then My whole sipirt was in a need of transformation and that was the only way for me to heal. Since then I use this tremendous pain as a power and inspiration for others. If I didn’t get chicken pox, I would not become the man I am today.

Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. What’s a belief or project you’re committed to, no matter how long it takes?
Create. I have a fitness project for the last ten years, and this journey from the idea to its realization is one of the biggest challenge i ever had to experience. In the end, never give up. That’s my biggest value

Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
That I left an impact on how I approach Fitness and Wellness differently and my invention BoliFit is wellknowed worldwide
