Success Stories

I have been coaching Brent for 3 months now. As you can see from his pictures, we transformed his body from pudgy to perfection. He was able to lose 20 pounds of fat in 12 weeks and his bench press sky rocketed from 135lbs to 255lbs for 4 reps. His squat poundages also increased dramatically from 145lbs to 315lbs for 6 reps in that period of time. Brent did not hold back and as a result continues to excel in fitness and life.

I have been coaching Scott for 6 months now. This transformation took place over a period of 5 weeks as I prepared him for his natural bodybuilding show which he won. I was able to refine and define Scotts physique through analyzing his nutrition program on a daily basis and make the necessary adjustments to help him achieve his impeccable shape!

"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 Baldassari has made a remarkable transformation. At 5'7 Peter weighed 195 lbs with 20% bodyfat when first starting with me. After 12 weeks on my customized nutritional, cardio, Powerpose and resistance training programs he went down to 172lbs with 12% body fat. 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!

Stuart Green came to me with the goal of looking his best before he moved from NYC to LA. In 12 weeks he went from 179 to 195lbs of muscle, nicely defined with good mass. We placed special emphasis on his hard-gaining areas: arms and shoulders. Stuart is 42, 6'1. I continue to train Stuart via phone and email. Keep up the good work!

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.

John Jelich has been working with me for over a year and a half. He started out 317lbs. and is now 185lbs. At 45, the process of body development takes longer, but John is achieving the goals that he established for himself. He is a prime example of what can be done with the proper motivation.
