I started training with Francesco since May of this year mostly because of the pandemic. For me it’s been amazing that Francesco offers virtual sessions even thou the gyms are open again. Right now, am working at home taking care of my mother; he has been very understanding and accommodating to my current situation. He is an excellent fitness professional; his workouts are challenging yet doable, and he also tells me to not to give up, somehow am able to finish and feel amazing. When I first started my clothes were so tight on me; I was wearing jeans size 10 and now I am wearing size 8. I also love that my shoulders and arms are more toned; and my posture is getting better as well. He has also introduced me to other workouts as well like Pilates and Barre and to top it off he also teaches Zumba which is my favorite; we speak in a combination of English and Spanish; and he counts my reps in Italian which am also learning a few words and phrases as well; this makes everything so fun. I also enjoy working out in the Pilates and Zumba group classes as well. So, if you are thinking of getting a personal trainer choose Francesco; he is an expert in the fitness industry and he will help you with your health and...
Read moreI met Francesco 2015 when he was subbing a Pilates class at NYSC. The class was challenging but I managed to do it bc he was very welcoming and warm. He was patient and helpful. He went around the class to make sure you were doing the right moves. He also offered alternatives for beginners. I started personal training with Francesco December 2015 for a year. Throughout the years I have been a regular at his Zumba class at NYSC W80th and Broadway as well as following him to Sunnyside, Astoria, and City Hall for Pilates, spinning and total body classes. 2020 I have attended a lot of his virtual classes while I was pregnant and now he's my virtual trainer helping me get into better shape than I was prepregnancy. I 100% recommend his classes if you want a sweat session from home while enjoying the group environment. For more personal goals, definitely do the personal training. Francesco is a great person and has become a...
Read moreI met Francesco in 2016 when I decided to join a gym after many failed attempts. I was back from my maternity leave, had not been working out for several years and had no motivation to work out, but all changed when I set a foot in Francesco’s class at the Athletic and Swim Club. At that time, I would have never believed that it was possible to have fun in a work out class but Francesco made it happen! He also gave me the motivation that I didn’t know I had. He is very encouraging, full of energy, always very enthusiastic, and you can expect a lot of variety in terms of mouvements and musics. I’ve been taking Zumba and Body Conditioning/Boot camp for 5 years now (in person and online) and I truly love his classes. I wholeheartedly recommend Francesco, whether you are beginner or at advanced level, you will never be...
