Mini bio
How it started.
Born in Turbo, Antioquia, Fausto began with free group exercise classes in the Medellín area. People joined him while he trained in a park, and those sessions grew into a community. He began putting workout videos on YouTube in 2012.
Training together at home.
His channel grew further during the pandemic as fans looked for ways to move indoors. He told RTVE that he filmed with a phone and tripod and offered routines for beginners, intermediate exercisers and advanced viewers. Live sessions helped make the workouts feel like something people were doing together.
Beyond the workout.
His work also includes books and television. He wrote El reto Turbosteps in 2015, competed on Desafío Superhumanos in 2017 and appeared in the 2019–2020 season of MasterChef Celebrity Colombia. His 2025 memoir, La sonrisa del polizonte, recounts the adversity and reinvention behind his public life.
What he is building.
Through TurboSteps, Fausto now offers a fitness and wellbeing platform alongside his free videos. In June 2026, he joined Tengo un Plan to discuss his life, discipline and the early days of his channel.
