Become the Beast you always wanted

"Before Training with Mario I was really struggling with mobility and adherence, therefore not seeing the progress I wanted from my training which was extremely frustrating. It wasn't until I began training with Mario that I began to see real improvements.

He took the time to discuss my individual goals and needs with me and built my program around my capabilities and limitations with progressive overload.

I became stronger and more mobile than ever and I am glad I began training with Mario. I would highly recommend Mario if you're an athlete looking to get to the next level or if you are looking to make positive changes in your life and physique.

Transform your Body

“Mario helped change my approach to exercise, which then helped heal any body aches or pains I would experience from training or daily activity. He taught me how to train properly, and my weight loss showed me how crucial weight training was to drop weight. He also helped to rehab my shoulder which I dislocated a long time ago and still caused pain and discomfort.

Mix that in with a great diet, and it helped me to not only lose over 45lbs! but also to gain knowledge on the benefits of weight training versus constant cardio.

Mario’s training and coaching has bettered my knowledge in fitness, which then bettered myself as an athlete. He’s a great supportive trainer, and anyone would be happy to work with him.”

Regain your Athleticism

“I hadn’t really exercised in over 4 years. In just one month, Mario turned my poor lifestyle around. Mario tailored a unique exercise routine and diet regiment to my personal fitness goals.

As most former athletes know, getting past the initial muscle soreness is a huge deterrent and impediment to making progress when you return after a long hiatus from fitness.

Mario, with his extensive professional background, was vital to coaching me through this tough period. He provided stretching routines on my cooldown days that really assisted in getting me back into the game to meet my fitness goals. I cannot recommend the man more, he’s well worth the price tag, and I have results to show for it.”

LIFE CHANGING RESULTS

Take Back Control of Your Life

I came to Mario with numerous issues including a poor workout routine for decades, back pain, as well as low general conditioning. This, coupled with recently undergoing surgery for lung cancer really affected my body.

Coming back from this while balancing a busy work schedule was a significant challenge, but after sitting with Mario, we discussed how to tackle all these issues.

He created a custom program for me and it's completely changed my life. I am doing exercises properly, regaining my strength and conditioning and seeing significant benefits.

I would highly recommend Mario for anyone seeking a competent and dedicated coach!

Rehab Your Injuries and Get in Shape!

I had the pleasure of working with Mario as my personal trainer 8 months into my ACL rehabilitation and start of my lifestyle/weight loss journey. From the start, Mario was incredibly professional and attentive to my individual needs and took my health history and PCOS into consideration. Mario took the time to understand the details of my injury, my health history and created a personalized workout plan that was tailored to my progress and goals.

Not only did Mario guide me through my rehabilitation, but he also helped me to lose weight, improve my overall fitness level, and make working out part of my life. . Mario worked with me to enhance my diet, meet my protein goals and educated me on how to make better food choices. With his guidance and support, I've made progress towards my weight loss goals and improve my body composition.

Throughout our time working together, Mario was always available to answer any questions and concerns I had. He was also very motivating and encouraging, pushing me to reach my potential. I really appreciate his positive attitude and dedication to his clients. What struck me the most was how  Mario tailored my exercises and nutrition plan to accommodate my condition and helped me safely reach my goals. I did not feel like another client, but someone who he cared about.

Become the Best Version of Yourself

"My squat and deadlift needed a lot of work and after a few easy suggestions from Mario, my form and strength exploded

Before I was only squatting/benching/deadlifting around 135lbs. Now I finally hit 225lbs on Bench Press, 255 Squat and 265 on Deadlifts.

This was all done while balancing an extremely busy work schedule and studying for Medical School. Mario has always been easy to reach for any questions. He’s flexible but still firm which I admire from a coach.

With Mario’s program I added significant amounts of muscle and improved my frame aesthetically. He also helped to rehab my ankle when I sprained it in Soccer. His rehab knowledge and ability to modify training makes his service exceptional. I highly recommend Mario"

I really enjoyed being trained by him, and I strongly recommend you give him a try. Thanks for all the help!"

Get rid of your Knee Pain

"After going to physio for 2 months with no progress I went to see Mario about my knee. Within the first session we identified areas which needed work and Mario guided me through a routine that significantly reduced all pain. He worked through several screening exercises to see where my limitations are and prescribed exercises for me. In under 4 weeks all of my knee pain was completely gone and I was able to slowly get back to my training."

Eliminate Pain as an Obstacle

“I had been suffering from back pain that could sometimes get acute due to my wrong posture. That's why, I decided to sign up for the gym and train with Mario. Mario was able to identify the appropriate mobility exercises and after a few weeks, the pain was gone!

I am very satisfied with my training with Mario because he was not just able to help me get rid of the pain in a short time, but also identified muscle weaknesses that we worked on. By identifying these weaknesses and targeting them with suitable exercises,  I am now confidently able to train free of pain!

Mario has been great during all the sessions. In addition to being professionally adept, we had conversations spanning several topics like soccer, diet, and training, making the sessions enjoyable!  I highly recommend Mario.

Eliminate Unwanted Stress

"When I first came to Mario I was severely out os shape and had been neglecting my health for a while. I had recently left a stressful job, and Covid had forced me out of the gym. I suffered from insomnia and had other ongoing health issues.

After only a few short weeks training with Mario, I started sleeping well again, I losing weight and most importantly, I felt stronger and happier than I had been in months. Mario kept me on track and never let minor challenges derail my progress.

Most importantly, Mario is positive - he kept me focused on my goals, and never let me feel bad on an off day."
