The fitness community is mourning the loss of a motivational leader.
The Brazilian fitness content creator, known as Nicole Brenda Santos Marins, has tragically passed away. Her heartbroken husband, Alisson Cravo, shared the news on Instagram on August 19. She was only 28 years old.
On August 18, Marins, who is the mother of a 6-year-old boy, was driving a motorcycle along a Brazilian highway and encountered mechanical issues. She stopped on the shoulder of the road. Unfortunately, a large vehicle coming towards her hit her, and then swiftly left the scene without stopping, as reported by the Brazilian Federal Highway Police to NationalWorld.
An investigation into the collision is ongoing.
After his wife’s passing, Cravo expressed a heartfelt tribute on his Instagram Stories. In translated posts from Portuguese, he described Marins as an “extraordinary woman, a brave fighter, a dedicated worker, and a fantastic mother who would go to great lengths to see her son smile.
Cravo expressed in an Aug. 19 Instagram Story that you were his refuge. He found stability from you which he never had before, as well as a source of light. Helping you kept him going. You made him feel like a true man. You helped him realize his potential and that he could be good, and he will continually work to better himself for you every day.
Heartbreakingly, Cravo also detailed the final moments with his wife following her fatal crash.
Dashing out of the gym, I found myself in a whirlwind, hoping it was all just a hoax. My heart pounded like a drum as I raced away, unbelieving sirens echoed through the air, my anxiety mounting with each breathless stride. But upon seeing you lying there, I felt an overwhelming despair sink in.” (translated from Portuguese)
Indeed, Cravo shared that he was by his wife’s side until the end.
He expressed, “I longed to share your burden,” he said, “Not to make you feel isolated and embrace you, offer my lap as a sanctuary and soothe you, just as you had always appreciated it. You were the one who could tranquilize me, but once again I felt inadequate. Despite you constantly showing me that I was your everything, proving your unwavering affection, our bond endured till the very end. It’s tough to find joy without your presence, yet from beyond, lend me your strength.
In the days leading up to her passing, Marins – a renowned personal trainer with a large following on Instagram who often shared fitness inspiration and advice – posted a picture of herself and her partner enjoying a hot air balloon ride, describing it as “a wonderful weekend experience.
Cravo, for his part, called it the “best weekend” of their lives in another tribute post.
He expressed that his utmost joy came from ensuring you had whatever was available to him, and pledged to guard and nurture you continuously. His everlasting beloved, his absence will be deeply felt within his heart. Remain secure and find tranquility.
