How did Camil find the balance between his professional and personal life at Greenfield Băneasa

Living and working in the same neighborhood is a rare advantage, especially in a big city where time spent in traffic often makes the difference between a busy day and a balanced one.

Camil Dumitriu, personal trainer at wellness club In the Greenfield Băneasa neighborhood, they're fully enjoying this lifestyle. Living close to work helps them organize their time better and find a real balance between their professional and personal lives.

„Here I can have a more settled pace of life.”

Camil is 50 years old and has lived in Greenfield since 2021. He chose this neighborhood for what he describes as „the balance between nature and organization.”.

„It has tranquility, clean air, and good infrastructure. For me, the fact that I can have a more settled pace of life, without wasting time in traffic, was important,” he says.

This change was quickly reflected in how they live their day-to-day life:

„Here I can have a more settled pace of life. I have time left for my loved ones.”

More time for work, training, and family

For three years, Camil has been a personal trainer at Wellness Club by Greenfield, and the proximity between his home and workplace is an important advantage.

„I can train during breaks, often with my partner, and I still have time for loved ones. The energy I don't spend commuting, I invest in my work and personal life. The pace is calmer and more efficient here. I have more real time for work, training, and family,” states Camil.

Compared to when I lived closer to the city center, the change is visible in my quality of life and daily energy level.

Time spent in nature, closer to loved ones

Another important advantage is the proximity to the forest, which offers him the opportunity to spend quality time outdoors, especially with his son.

„When the weather permits, we go cycling in the forest and spend time outdoors. Even though she doesn't live with me permanently, it's very important to us that nature is close by so we can exercise together,” says Camil.

„The neighborhood offers the right setting for daily exercise.”

For someone passionate about fitness and nutrition, discipline is essential. Camil applies this principle both in his personal life and in his work with those he trains.

„My days start early, with the first training sessions. I work with different people, but with a common goal: health and real progress. I encourage those I work with to see health as a system: constant movement, proper nutrition, sleep, and discipline. The neighborhood provides the right setting for movement and spending time outdoors. I always tell them that progress doesn't come from extremes, but from consistency,” explains the coach.

Regarding his own program, Camil emphasizes balance and adaptation:

„I prefer the strength area and spending time outdoors. I primarily train at the gym, and in the evenings, we go for walks around the neighborhood. Efficient movement means training adapted to age and goals, not pointless competition. I believe that sports and nutrition must work together. I'm happy that initiatives are developing in the neighborhood that will make balanced nutrition more accessible daily for the community,” he also states.

An active and connected community

Through his work as a personal trainer, Camil got to know the people in the neighborhood better, in a setting based on trust and common goals.

„Through my activities at the club, I've gotten to know my neighbors better, in a constructive context based on goals and trust. It's an active community, with many people concerned about family and health,” he says.

A suitable environment for a balanced lifestyle

Camil's mother, who lives in the same neighborhood in an apartment with a garden, also enjoys the Greenfield community. The choice was influenced by the area's peace and safety.

„I felt it was a suitable environment for a more relaxed lifestyle. Mom likes that she can go out for fresh air daily and that the area is quiet. She appreciates the community and the neighbors who have become close to her over time,” Camil also states.

Camil's experience shows that the balance between professional and personal life is not just about organization, but also about the environment you choose to live in. Proximity to work, access to nature, and an active community can significantly transform your daily rhythm.
