About	Xavier Dolino, who passed away with Leukaemia at the age of 37. He was a Senior Fitness4x4 Trainer and an inspirational Health Pioneer. During the last 3 years of his life, Xavier was hit with Leukemia three times, and three times told he would probably not survive. With massive personal resolve and commitment to fighting the illness with fitness & good nutrition, rather than with drugs, he defied the odds and recovered to full health twice. Not merely surviving the illness, but returning to world-class competition and to a truly inspiring and contagious level of fitness and vitality. The third time it struck his body was not able to withstand it. However, in his last days in the hospital, he continued to motivate and teach those around him. That was Xavier. He kept lifting his dumbbells and training in the best way he knew, no matter what life threw at him. And to his dying day, he continued to create energy, in defiance of what the disease was trying to do to him. Born in France, raised in Italy and later an adopted Irish citizen, Xavier Dolino was one of the Hour of Power and Fitness4x4’s most senior trainers worldwide. Xavier came to Fitness4x4 as an experienced exerciser…but turned that into an absolute dedication to health, fitness and nutrition and physical performance. This expertise and high-performance earned him a place in the finals of the World Endurance Lifting Championships on more than 3 occasions, and a reputation as an elite instructor of the Hour of Power workout. Above all, however, he retained a passion for sharing his knowledge of training and health with others…a passion perhaps unrivalled in the Fitness4x4 community. In June 2011 Xavier was recognised as only the second official Senior Trainer in the Hour of Power method and began work on the development of the Fitness4x4 Personal Trainers Certification Course. After Dragan Radovic himself, Xavier Dolino has been one of the most influential figures in the spread of Fitness4x4 training methodology around the globe, sharing his expertise, passion & elite performance with everyone he encounters.
