In 2018 he opened a CrossFit gym alongside Brazilian gymnast Hudson Miguel in Sao Bernardo do Campo, Brazil. "I'm planning to retire after [the 2020 Olympic Games in] Tokyo. I want to leave gymnastics and at the same time have something going on. My biggest dream is to compete in CrossFit, even as an amateur. I would like to do so because I find the environment pretty cool." (ativo.com, 11 Dec 2018)
