Former client making his coming back. "My last few months in Abu Dhabi I had a really bad stomach infection and was in the hospital for a bit and gained it all back and more. I was at 217 pounds in August. Come to the states and jumped right back on your routine! I feel great and I am in the BEST shape of my life at 186 lbs."

 

Tim Murphy

I had been trying to loose weight for over a year without success until we hired Marco. After a week I saw the scale moving down and I lost 15 pounds in three months. His plan is easy to follow and I was never hungry. I am very happy with my body now and I totally recommend him.

 

Thaice Santos

I want to thank my coach Marco for the beautiful work we have done. I remember well when 3 months ago I asked him if he could train me for a competition and he accepted the challenge and truly transformed my body. Yesterday after the competition I asked for feedback to the judges and I remember well the words of a judge who said : "you are amazing, your body is perfectly well muscular and I was impressed with the good work." "You were too lean."
Thank you Marco and now we are going to our next competition.

Virginia Menezes

If you're looking to be pushed by a trainer who knows his stuff, Marco is the man for you!! His workouts are designed specifically for each individual's body type. They are certainly NOT the "cookie cutter" or "one size fits all" workouts you see some trainers using in the gym. If you put the time and effort in, you WILL see results.

Juliana Cenolli

I have known Marco for the last 4 years, and we have worked together on my fitness before and after my pregnancy. He kept me motivated to stay fit during my pregnancy, and now helping me to lose weight which I gained during & after pregnancy. The expertise and guidance he’s provided through my strength training sessions have been amazing.

I feel I am in my best shape currently and all credit goes to him. His consistent updates and redesigning of my sessions/meal plans keep me progressing consistently and as a result, I have lost almost 35 pounds in 6 months WoW!!. The results were faster than what I expected being a full-time mom. He is dedicated and work with you to carefully plan your goals as per your lifestyle and routine. On many occasion, he was very accommodating with my schedule. Marco is a true professional, and I highly recommend him for any health & fitness goals you have.

Kabita Behera

I've been a member of the fitness gym where Marco trains for quite some time so before I decided to hire him as my personal trainer I had observed his training style with different clients for a few months.
I was impressed with Marco's personal training philosophy and his serious, focused work ethic at the gym with clients and with his own workouts as well.
After 4 training sessions and several side-bar discussions, I've learned Marco is extremely knowledgeable about muscle biology, body development, muscle mechanics, and how personalized appropriate nutrition and diet is critical in achieving our particular body and muscle development goals.
Marco is a serious-minded trainer with a great dry sense of humor who will go as deep with exercise and diet guidance as you prefer, or not so deep if you do not prefer. He is a down-to-earth, humble professional and competitor with a great deal more substance than sizzle. If you are serious and committed about achieving your goals, and want a great professional, focused, and knowledgeable trainer who will counsel you, develop a customized workout regimen for you, along with a customized diet as well if you want, I highly recommend you hire Marco.

Ron Metro

After years of working hard and diligently with other coaches I finally found the perfect match when I started working with Marco. There were several factors that were important to me when deciding who I’d want as a coach- customization, responsiveness, and respect being three key ones. Marco checked all those boxes and then some from our first sit down meeting and beyond. It’s motivating to know that if I reach out to Marco I’ll hear back from him pretty instantaneously whether it’s for our weekly check ins or touch points throughout the week. Marco is so well educated in his field and logs lots of time researching to accommodate any health challenges- I’m so appreciative of this! He thinks outside the box and is really creative in his approach to ensure your health stays in tact while working towards your fitness and nutrition goals. Something I really appreciate is that Marco shares his insights and empowers you to make this a lifestyle! Marco has made going to the gym fun for me again, challenges me like no other, and helped me get my confidence back! I’m so grateful for his dedication to me as a client and would highly recommend joining the Pro-Fitness team!

Sarah Bergeron

Marco is one of the best and most dedicated trainers out there! Marco’s style is effective, motivational, and personable. He challenges you to achieve your fitness goals with a balanced approach, both pushing you to succeed, yet patient with the process. He listens well to your needs and is both educational and supportive. Marco is always available to answer your questions. I look forward to our weekly check-ins. Marco did not only change my mindset but he got me ready for my wedding in a few months! I have never been a morning person and now I truly enjoy waking up and going to the gym. Marco helped me achieve my fitness goal and went beyond my goal. I feel great overall and enjoy receiving compliments from my family and friends. He has taught me the core concepts of nutrition and fitness. Marco takes the time to explain what and why you are doing a certain exercise or eating a certain way. I highly recommend him to anyone who is seeking a fantastic trainer and interested in living a healthy lifestyle!

Matea Pecani

Dave DeGeorge, writing review from wife's account. I've trained now with Marco for different sessions over a 3 year period and each time I have learned a great deal and have seen excellent results. He always brings new ideas to the workout and different strategies and methods to bring variety to my training. I'm in some of the best shape of my life and that is due in large part to what I have learned from Marco and put into place each day in the gym. He is the real deal. He lives what he teaches each day and will push you to do more than you think you can. In an online world where reviews are often over exaggerated, Marco may be one of the few exceptions that truly deserves 5 stars.

Dave DeGeorge

I started training with Marco three months ago. He is really an expert when it comes to fitness/exercise and meal planning. I knew immediately that I was in good hands and that I would definitely achieve my fitness goals. He is professional, responsive and accommodating, while pushing you to achieve your best. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who is looking to change their life through fitness.

Luciano Andrade

Marco is very good at what he does. A real professional that was very helpful in getting me to reach my goals. He displays true knowledge of subjects such as muscles, muscle production, muscle recovery, meals, when to eat meals, why to eat this meal, why to eat only this amount, why working out at this time or doing cardio at this time helps. There's a ton!! I've been work out for 15 years now and Marco had still taught me a lot! I can go on and on about what he has taught me. He is the real deal, good guy, I would highly recommend him to anyone. I truly believe he can help you achieve your goals!!

Timmy Nguyen

I've known Marco for awhile now and I finally bit the bullet to have him train me. I'm so glad I did! He's very thorough and professional. He knows what he's talking about. He knows how far to push me and I wouldn't do it myself. He also plans a whole week of workouts for me so I always know what yo do at the gym. No downtime and no thinking! I am also on his nutritional plan. And it works! It has me at the weight I haven't seen in years. Thank you Marco!!

Kelly Flannery

He is terrificcccccc.. He suggests exercise routines that are individualized and challenging. Honestly he is an amazing professional! In such a short period of time working with him I was able to notice so much difference in my body, his discipline and commitment is so inspiring... I'm never letting you gooo dudeeee (ha-ha), you are amazing at what you do even though sometimes I want to kill you for making me work out so hard but that's what I love about you, you push me to my limit and encourage me not to give up and try my best! 
We know each other for a while now and you know how hard it is for me to follow a good diet and exercise routine because of my schedule but you are making it happen. I appreciate you and how you are making me a better looking and healthier person. :)
Would definitely recommend for anyone out there .. #youareawesome

Getting great results with the diet and exercise package he put together for me. I wished I had made the decision to work with Marco sooner. He is very professional and experienced. I'm loving it!

Luciana Perez

Five Stars!!!

Bianca Siqueira

Great trainer, keeps you up to date and on task. I've been on his diet and workout plan for about a month and a half and have seen some great results. If you need some help with maintenance and motivation Marco is definitely the guy to go to. Genuinely cares about your results and works to your needs, while being super informative.

Matt Toaster Toce

There is no doubt that Pro-fitness can change your life. Whatever you are trying to accomplish with your body, Marco from Pro-fitness can help you achieve it. Most trainers will only guide you but they will not teach you anything so you will be dependent on them, so they can make more money from you later on. With Marco's program, he will teach you everything so at the end of your program, you will know exactly how to prep and customize your workouts. He provides many different avenues to work with him. It does not matter if you cannot workout with him, he will still coach and mentor you as if you were there right next to him. I have been working out with him and have never seen results like this. If I could I would give him 10 stars. Which trainer randomly reaches out to you via text messages or other apps. to encourage and motivate even during off times, I know who, Marco does!

Haz Ali

Marcos has been my personal trainer for a month and half now. The results I have achieved to date are outstanding due to Marco’s perfect combination of suggested training (individualized exercise program & nutrition plan). His professionalism, extensive knowledge and his dedication are beyond words. I lost 10 pounds / 6% body fat and still maintained lean body mass. During this short period of time, Marcos has answered all my questions, and always motivated me to push harder. I definitely recommend MARCOS (Pro-Fitness) to anyone looking to improve their fitness & diet. Keep up the good work !

Harry Singh

Very friendly & personable, Marco showed me new exercises I've never done before to shock my body into shape. He pushed me to limits I've never reached while he teaching me that everything is possible and to never give up!

Leah Rose Dion

Marco is amazing! He listened to my goals and designed a program that specifically met my needs and fitness ability. He has shown interest in my fitness journey outside of the gym, designing a diet that would best match my efforts in the gym. We have been working together under a month and I have already seen drastic results. I would definitely recommend him.

Ariel Grace Smolinski

I can't say enough about the exceptional quality of Marco's services. The first time I spoke with him to inquire about changing my nutrition, he spent an hour answering all my questions. When you work with him, you feel his full attention to every detail to help you achieve your desired results. Marco has helped me discover how to build my nutrition, take off the weight, while not starving myself. I have been able to maintain my strength and hit my target weight. I highly recommend Marco!

Bryan Oglesby

Marco is hands down one of the best personal trainers I know. His workouts are great and he'll make sure to encourage you throughout them and challenge you as well without making you feel intimidated. We recently started my meal plan which he prepared with lots of details and important info in regards to alternative foods and optional supplements, along with how they work in the body (he certainly knows his stuff). He took the time to sit with me and talk about short/long term weight goals, strength goals,eating habits and we set specific numbers we hope to see in a few months. He also personalized my meal plan based on foods I like and broke down every meal with its numeric intake. So if you're looking to put in work he will definitely help you reach your fitness goals!!

Astrid Franco

Marco has helped me in all areas of fitness and I have seen a lot of changes to my body. I've lost 10 lbs and gained muscle at the same time! Highly recommend to anyone trying to be in the best shape of there life.

Robert Pergakis

Marco is easy to talk to. He is honest and will help you with what you need. I lost weight, but more importantly I learned how to eat healthy and with the right portions according to my body type and exercise habits. Thanks Marco!

Debbi Sonsino Seri

Marco knows the workout and nutrition plan that will cater to your fitness goals. I've been consulting with Pro Fitness for my weight loss and lean muscle gains for the last 6 months and this guy knows his stuff, I have never looked better thanks to the dedication and PERSONAL training of Pro Fitness!

Tim Murphy

Work out plans are centered to individuals needs- personally I have lost 10lb, 2 pant sizes and have gained so much strength. Highly recommended!!

Barbara O'Connor

I used to be sedentary and had no idea on how to start working out. I found Marco who gave me all the guidance I needed to get started. It’s been only 2 months and my body has already changed a lot. My whole lifestyle has also changed for better and I feel great about myself. I’m really grateful with the whole experience.

Camila Fialho

I have been working with Marco for 3 months and have seen good results in that time. Marco is passionate about fitness and it shows during the workout sessions. He makes workouts challenging and knows just how much and when to encourage and when to push. I definitely recommend Marco to anyone who is looking for a personal trainer.

Raj Nuna

I spent over an hour with Marco reviewing nutrition science and a specific approach that would work for me. He is knowledgeable and relatable. I would highly recommend him.

Cheryl Jones

I've been a client of Marco's for the past year and am very appreciative of his approach. He is honest, he helps assess the full picture (gym time, nutrition, lifestyle, etc.), and has encouraged me to push myself to achieve things I didn't think were possible. He is also very flexible helping to make modifications that still help me work towards my goals, even through times where I've needed to work through injuries.

If you're setting out to make serious changes in your physical fitness, Marco is a no-nonsense trainer. He will partner with you on achieving the goals you set out, but you have to put in the hard work and hold yourself accountable - there are no quick-fixes. This dynamic will produce the best kinds of results that can be sustained with commitment to yourself.

Sarah Juselius

I am 53 years old and was tired of looking in the mirror and not recognizing the body in front of me. I am very active but no matter what, those 12 pounds would not budge. I committed myself to the carb cycling plan that Marco put together and I got the results I was looking for! The plan was easy to follow, I could make the food taste good, go out for dinner and was rarely hungry. The best part is I got the body back that I had not seen in 27 years! Thank you Marco!!

Pamela Broderick

Working with Marco has been amazing! I have always been pretty fit but wanted to take it to the next level. Marco has helped me make that happen. I can’t wait to see even more results and the summer!

Alison Fiorenzi

(Translated by Google) I got in touch with Marcos because he wanted a specific diet for my goal. He was super attentive, gave me a diet within what I wanted and I am super satisfied in the first week.

(Original)
Entrei em contato com Marcos pq quería uma dieta específica para meu objetivo. Ele foi super atencioso, me passou uma dieta dentro do que eu queria e estou super satisfeita ja na primeira semana.

Lucinha Barteli

I was always a fan of the gym and eating healthy but I never had a personal trainer before so I was nervous. When I walked into the doors of encompass for my first time to have my meeting with Marco, it was like he knew me for years. We sat down, chatted about my goals, how he would help me reach them, but also made sure that no matter what I was always going to feel supported by him. It's been almost a full year working with him and I have never felt or looked as I good as I do now! He was there for me every step of the way, he always gave me the best advice, he taught me how to love/eat food the right way, and has the BEST workouts that I have ever done. I not only found the best personal trainer, I also found a great friend. The best of the best right here!!!

Mary Pederson

Marco is the best for me , I was trying all diets and did not lose weight. In one week of training and dieting I managed to lose 2 pounds this was very rewarding for me. Marco knows the human body perfectly and I trust him 100%.

Barbara Moura

I know Marco for at least 9 years he is the most professional person I know discipline and focus is he’s main thing. I used Marco back in 2014 and with he’s help I achieved my goal of loosing on weight, one which I have struggled with for years. He really helped me by giving me the tools to get my results such as diet and training regimes. I’m back training with him again because he know what he’s doing!
