Testimonials

     "Everybody needs a little Mario. His energy and enthusiasm is off the charts. Thanks to Mario's pilates, reps and kangoo classes, I am now in the best shape of my life (and I have worked out my entire life). He has re-shaped my body and mind. I look forward to his classes like most people look forward to a Saturday. I dropped 2 sizes over this summer and have definition in my arms and core that I never had before. You bring the dedication and he will do amazing things for you too and you will LOVE doing it. Thanks M. Love you."

     "Mario is an outstanding teacher.  I have been attending fitness classes at Crunch since it first opened in Chicago.  Mario stands out as one of the best teachers I have every had.  He strength is amazing and his motivation is off the charts.  He has a way of pushing me to the maximum.  The scope of his classes are off the charts whether it is Pilates, Chisel, Kangoo or TRX.  He excels at whatever he teaches.  The results!!!  Well they are just amazing.  I have gone down one pants size since taking classes with Mario.  I highly recommend everyone to work with Mario!!!"

     "Mario is such an amazing trainer! He has helped me push through my boundaries and has taught me to never quit. His Kangoo classes are so much fun and actually make me look forward to doing cardio! I have had trainers before, and never have I experienced a trainer with so much energy and love for fitness! Mario has helped transform my body and I coudn't do it with out him!"

     "I love working out with Mario.  He has a drive and energy that is infectious.  He motivates you to push yourself beyond what you think is possible and feel great doing it.  Occasionally I feel like I'm in that scene from "Officer and a Gentleman" -- Mario's Lou Gossett Jr. and I'm Richard Gere -- gritting through one more set of pushups.  Yes, sir! Mario knows how to get you looking spiffy in whatever uniform you wear.  Check him out, I think he's the best thing at my health club."

     "Mario is a no-nonsense trainer. He is strict, motivating, does not take "no" or "I can't" for an answer and pushes you well beyond what you THINK are your capapbilites. Mario has a very unique way of training unlike any other trainer I have ever worked with. Right when you think you can't do any more reps or run any further, Mario is right there proving to you that you can. The transformation that I personally experienced is unlike no other. I found muscles and definition in places that I never thought possible (and I have been working out my entire life!). Along with personal training, Mario introduced me to Kangoo, an exillirating workout that makes you absolutely LOVE cardio and now I even own my own pair! All you need is one session with Mario to realize his worth. He is a religion of his own....and hell, I'm a follower. ;-)"

     "Mario is a wonderful instructor and trainer.  We are very fortunate to have him as part of our gym.  Mario's high energy and enthusiasm makes his classes very fun and motivates you to push yourself beyond your limits.  He is constantly challenging you, knows what you are capable of doing and pushes you to continually challenge yourself.  He offers variety in his classes and is always thinking of ways to change the routine allowing your body to transform.  I consistently attend Mario's classes and have noticed a definite change in my physique.  I have increased muscle tone and definition, and have developed a stronger core.  Having Mario as part of my workout routine is keeping me in great physical shape."
