Ector Simpson came to me weighing 205 pounds and lost 30 pounds in 16 weeks. As pictured in this after shot he now weighs 175 pounds and at a height of 5'7 looks great. His body fat percentage went from 28% to a lean, muscular and very fit 16%. His waist size shrunk from 38 inches to 32 inches. All this was attained with the passion and will power of someone who is inspired and driven to achieve his physical and lifestyle goals. Every morning Ector performs 40 minutes of cardio before our workout and has his meal ready to be eaten straight after our workouts together. He adheres to my gluten and dairy free meal plan, combining raw and semi cooked fibrous vegetables with lean organic proteins, whole fruits and healthy grains. Ector is healthier than he has ever been, and at the ripe young age of 50 is living proof that you can only get better. Congratulations Ector!

Gennaro changed my life, plain and simple. Before I started working out with him, I was incredibly frustrated - I worked out 5-6 days per week, yet saw absolutely no changes in my body at all. Gennaro taught me the importance and necessity of weight training which I had stayed away from for fear of bulking up. He also taught me how to lift weights - something that seems self explanatory, yet there is such an art to it. With Gennaro's guidance and workouts, I saw results the first week that I worked out with him. It was amazing! His workouts are challenging, fun and varied - we never did the same routine twice. He is always available to answer questions and is so supportive and encouraging. He shares his extensive knowledge of the body and nutrition openly and freely. Anyone looking for a total transformation should call Gennaro - he is the best!

"Alan is living proof that you can achieve life transforming results in as little as 12 weeks. From the very beginning of our fitness journey, and at 47 years of age, Alan displayed a determination, discipline, and passion that led him to the point of feeling and looking the best he has in more than a decade. Alan came to me weighing 213lb's with 33.5% bodyfat (9/12/08). After my 12 week program he now weighs 182lb's with a bodyfat of 22.3% (12/15/08). He has lost 31 lb's and 11.2% bodyfat and counting. His waist measurements shrunk from 40.5 inches to a current 35.5 inches. That's a 5 inch loss! Alan's midsection was one of his biggest problem areas and we attacked it with a sensible and safe core training and Powerpose program which I incorporated in all of his workouts. With my program Alan was able to lower his cholesterol by 40 points.

"Gennaro boosted me with the confidence I needed for my first figure competition. I attempted training on my own, as I thought I had it all together with the workouts and diet. However as the competition got close, I began to panic, realizing I was not at all prepared with the posing. I needed a coach. Only a couple sessions with Gennaro accomplished this. He had me so focused, I soon forgot only moments before how self conscious I was strutting around an over-crowded gym clad in nothing but a bikini and sky-high heels! On the big day up on that stage I kept hearing his voice playing over in my head, " OK, now spread your lats, Debra... good - now lean back, Debra... and squeeze those glutes a bit more... smile, Debra... Yes! Now THIS is what a winner looks like!!! " I walked off that stage with complete confidence and ended up doing very well. Thank you Gennaro! You made ALL the difference!"

Peter's core strength and muscular power increased and he has more agility and endurance than ever before. Oh... and he looks great as well. At 41 Peter is living proof that you can still attain a 30 inch waist. Congratulations Peter!

Peter Gregus is a broadway performer and can be currently seen in The Jersey Boys as Bob Crewe. When coming to me, Peter had a specific goal in mind and that was to be in the best shape of his life for the Broadway Bares Show. Peter 40, and 5'10 commenced my 12 week course weighing 175lbs with 20% bodyfat. After the completion of the course he gained 10 lbs of muscle and lost 10% bodyfat. Due to tours and his busy schedule, Peter is now working out on his own using my lifestyle principles to guide him to maintain what he worked so hard to acheive.
Well done Mate!

At 52 years of age and a height of 5'11 Richard Glasgow came to me as a very thin vegetarian who had one major goal in mind, and that was to gain quality muscle size without having to resort to eating any type of meat or fish, ie. remain a vegetarian. Richard began weighing 150lbs, with a bodyfat percentage of 18%. After my 12 week intensive weight training and nutritional program, he had packed on 15lbs of solid muscle and lost 8% bodyfat. He now has 10% bodyfat and weighs 165lbs. Richard is living proof that as a vegetarian you can lose bodyfat and gain quality muscle, if you dedicate yourself to consistent high quality nutrition and an intelligent and intense bodybuilding program.
