This review is long overdue! I’ve been with Gerardo since 2019. While he has changed venues ( Equinox, backyard workouts, Double up dance studio and now Fit club in Westport ) his workouts remain incredible! He is motivating and encouraging and pushes you to achieve your goals. We are all different ages, and athletic levels and he caters the workout to each of us so effortlessly. It’s the benefit of a group workout along with customization to meet your individual needs. I have seen such progress and I’m so much stronger. My energy levels and endurance have increased tremendously. Try one of his classes, you won’t regret it!

I've been battling my weight for the last 10 years and never found a program that I was able to stick with. Now that I work in Manhattan but live in CT, finding time to work out became even more difficult. When looking for a personal trainer online, I came across Gerardo's sight and was pleasantly surprised to see how clear his pricing packages were laid out. I've been working with Gerardo for a few weeks now and have yet to repeat the same workout. He offers a nice balance of pushing you to do your best without demotivating you when you're not able to do something. Gerardo is so much more than a personal trainer, he cares very much for what is going on in your life and how that is impacting your wellbeing (both physically and mentally). For him, personal training isn't just a business but a way to connect with people and help as much as he can. I've been able to supplement my personal training sessions with the boot camp he offers every Saturday. That is another great workout and it offers me the opportunity to work out with my friends to make it even better! The personal training sessions are way more valuable than the variety of gym memberships I've had in the past!!

I have been training, on and off, for over 25 years but never used a personal trainer. For 2012 (yes, a New Year's resolution), I decided to bite the bullet and signed up with Gerardo for 10 weeks - two workouts a week. Well, I am well past my first 10 weeks with no end in sight. Gerardo has a unique talent for not only making workouts unique and interesting each time but he also knows how to inspire you to new heights of achievement. It's not just a workout but a new way of life --incorporating cardio, endurance, strength, power, and diet. I considered myself to be in "decent" shape but now, wow. I am back to hitting the treadmill at 10-year ago speed levels, playing basketball injury free, and even getting a good night's sleep. One more thing, my corporate schedule is brutal. Gerardo and I work out at 6am to fit my schedule. He always shows up with a big smile --ready to push me to the next level. I am enjoying the ride. It is absolutely worth every penny (but you better add in the cost of getting your clothes tailored too!).
