He has always said that he prefers other activities such as surfing and climbing to keep fit.
“I haven’t trained since – regarding his time at Fast X – that’s how impressive it is. No, that’s nothing. I don’t touch a weight unless I get paid to do it. I don’t. I just climb with my kids But right now I’m working on a program where it’s not necessary and unfortunately I need to get back in shape because I’m a bit off. I don’t like lifting weights, I love surfing or rock climbing and you know that kind of thing. I don’t like going to the gym.

My hamstrings are so tight. My body is so tight. It’s pathetic. I remember, once, I was strong for Conan, and I was in a yoga class with these older ladies in Topanga. They were all raising their arms, and I was like… This is so hard!”
Joaquín Gasca is an expert in competition, technology and motor sports. Some time ago he hung up his stud boots to focus on paddle tennis and running… old things, he complains. But he’s also up for whatever blitz he has to do with pushing his body to the limit, whether it’s behind the wheel of an Aston Martin or skateboarding to the office.
He is very much from Atlético de Madrid, so when footballers like Marcos Llorente or Álvaro Morata have starred on the cover of Men’s Health, he was there to write them. He just ran his first marathon for Runner’s World, and as he passes in this universe, he’s already looking for the next one to go under 3 hours. If you have to test any type of paddle tennis racket, vehicle or watch, it’s no problem. Even slippers. Whatever is needed in sports equipment.
Joaquín graduated in journalism from USP-CEU in 2013, but since 2009, when he joined the University newspaper, he began to work as a 360 “journalist” in digital and print. The next steps in his almost 15-year career were taken by doing culture and sports in Shanghai magazine, until he entered Hearst a week before the start of the pandemic in 2020. He is also a professor of social networks and new technologies at Universitas Senioribvs CEU and is part of the Hearst Innovation HUB to investigate new trends.
