I'm in my sixties and was apprehensive, but taking my first session convinced that it would be my only session. But when I had that first session with Vinny I realized the extent of his knowledge about the human body and decided to sign up for a full six weeks. Vinny is the best! And he understood any physical limitations and gave me perfect work outs specially designed for me! I am and was very impressed with Vinny and I will always recommend him to everyone!

Vinny is an excellent trainer who cares about the work he does and the people he trains. He is very knowledgeable and takes into account each individual's fitness goals and abilities and tailors the training to maximize their success. Physical fitness as well as nutrition is an important part of the training he gives and he continuously keeps up-to-date with the education in both these areas. He knows what he is doing and it doesn't take long to see good results and to look and feel healthier!

Vinny is amazing at what he does. He really took the time during the initial consultation to get to know me and find out what my needs were. His approach encompasses the well being of mind, body and spirit. His demeanor is calm and professional, and it is apparent that he truly cares about his client's; success. This is my first experience with a personal trainer, and I was quite nervous about what I may find. In Vinny, I found much more than I could have hoped for. I have no doubt that he will help me reach my goals.

I signed up my daughter (she is heading for college next year) for Vinny's one on one personal self defense class after he called me and convinced me to try it for a session and then decide. I am glad I did. I take my daughter to his house on Saturdays. His family is always around, and his daughter assists him in training my daughter. I am extremely happy with his training style. He is patient, explains well, and demonstrates the techniques in such a way that is easily understood. One on one situation is the best environment for learning self defense. It is one of the strongest features of Vinny's system. Vinny trains my daughter in a variety of Martial arts. I am convinced that by the time my daughter completes Vinny's 18 week program, she will be able to defend herself against any potential attack. If you have a child heading for college, invest in his or her safety with Vinny's program. You will be glad you did. I know I am.

I originally was looking for a trainer who could teach me self-defense for a trip I was going to be taking where these skills might be needed in case of emergency. I found Vinny on Thumbtack and was immediately impressed with his resume. He made the effort to come all the way from Santa Clarita to my house which I appreciated. Just after one lesson, I could see a difference in myself. After just a few lessons, Vinny has taught me so much. I am now more confident in what I can do and in my safety. He has helped me to realize that with practice and skill, I can take on any challenge that I may come up against. At 16, it means a lot to know that I have taken certain pre-cautions to ensure my safety and well-being which causes me to have a peace of mind. I owe it all to Vinny and I highly recommend him as a trainer because every girl deserves to know that they have the power and right to learn and defend themselves.

Vinny is a great trainer. Very patient and also very motivating! He consistently has a great positive attitude and that positivity is contagious. With Vinny I know I will reach my goal of being as fit as I can be. And as strong as I can be in my body as well as my mind!

I recently met Vinny. Seen him at gym a few times. I thought to myself damn he is in shape. Couples of weeks later he approached me, introduced himself and offer to show me what his training consists of... Ok here I go, I really enjoy working out and recently I gave birth to baby twin girls and have now realized that unfortunately I'm out of shape. My concern is not losing weight it's getting back into shape. I'm fortunate that I didn't gain weight after babies. But after training with Vinny I realized I might look ok but I'm sure not as fitness as I use to be. He has shown me a few workout routines and I definitely seen results in a short time of training with him. He encourages me to better strive in improving my workout routine. Vinny has also been training my 15 year daughter. She enjoys him training her. She comes home showing me look today I did this and my legs/arms hurt here etc... He's been helping with building up her self esteem. He is great. Always very positive. I will continue to train with him. And definitely recommend him.

I found Vinny a few months back when it dawned on me that I was only months away from my 30th bday. I told him my concerns and my goals, which he responded to thoughtfully and with a specific plan of action. What appealed to me the most was that his sessions were affordable and 60 mins long. I save both time and money training with Vinny because his workouts are direct and his rates reasonable. I see him 3x's week which keeps me on track and accountable. Some trainers will tell you to do 10 reps, then step back and ignore you while they check their phone, respond to a text, etc.... Not Vinny! He is right there with me the whole time, correcting my form, explaining which muscles we are working on, counting reps and encouraging me to finish strong. I recommend him to anyone who wants to make a positive change in their life and finally reach their fitness goals. You won't be disappointed.

My daughter is heading for college, and i wanted to make sure that she can defend herself in case she finds herself in a situation that required it. Vinny is simply the best. He teaches self defense so that you will be able to defend yourself in a variety of situations. He teaches you how to defend yourself against someone using jnives, guns, or sticks with your bear hands, and a variety of everyday items such as cell phones or even rolled up newspaper. My daughter was extremely concerned about her safety after reading numerous articles about things that are happening to female students at nearly all college campuses across the country. She has one more session left, and she is confident that she is ready to defend herself, should the need arises. Over the summer vacation, I am signing her up again to learn more techniques. The value you get for the money is incredible. The best part is that Vinny is a pastor and a family man and teaches with care and respect. I recommend Vinny for anyone who wants to learn how to defend oneself. The confidence my daughter feels is priceless.

Awesome Experience was a very good teacher. Had a lot of knowledge and the lesson was very fun if you wanna learn Something about defense this is your guy.

Vinny has been an extremely motivating force in my life. I had always been intimidated by the gym scene and by trainers. Vinny alleviated both of these fears very quickly by instilling in me a sense of self confidence that I could absolutely meet my goals. He helped me realize the proper ways to eat and how frequently to increase my energy and metabolism. My body fat has decreased while my lean muscle mass has increased. He constantly challenges me and has made me realize that I am capable of anything, even the confidence to defend myself. Because I never thought that I could defend myself if I was ever attacked. This confidence has transferred over to many facets of my life.

"Being a stay at home mom with a very busy schedule I fell into a nutrition and fitness slump. Going to the gym on random days was not working for me -- I was not seeing results and the trainers at the gym did not understand my needs, which was very discouraging! Vinny understood exactly what I wanted the first day I met with him. He set me up with realistic goals, personalized nutrition and workout plans and most importantly -- motivation & confidence! He truly cares about his clients' health and well being, he has taught me how to properly lose body fat (Thank you!) and helped me achieve a new level of cardio endurance. My energy is back, I have more lean muscle than I've ever had and I am leading a healthy and happy new lifestyle! I highly recommend Vinny as a personal trainer!"

"Vinny motivates me to keep going when I really don't want to. He has modified exercises to compensate for my weaknesses until I was able to build up more strength. Having Vinny become my personal trainer is one of the best decisions I've made in my adult life!"

“Vinny worked with me this winter to teach me self defense. Within just a few weeks, I learned how to effectively defend myself, and after the learning the basics my skill increased noticeably during each session. I learned a lot during my training and I'd suggest to anyone that they try it out. Vinny is a great teacher and a fun guy to train with.”

“I've been working out with Vinny for about a year now. It had been a while since I'd stayed with an exercise program. Vinny is great to work with. He is encouraging, knowledgeable, and careful about form and safety. He encouraged me to push myself further than I had ever done on my own. I would truly recommend his services to anyone. He's fantastic!"

“When I met Vinny I was in the right place at the right time. My short term goal was to tone up and learn more of "what to do", but with Vinny's guidance my goal is now for long term health and fitness. I was already aware of the mind, body, spirit connection but Vinny really drove it home. Teaching me how and when to work out, using the proper form and most of all keeping in mind nutrition, which I now know is key. Vinny is very in tune with what a person needs and how far to push or not push. I liked that. My short term goal has now turned into an overall healthier lifestyle and I know Vinny can do it for you too.”

It’s interesting how I found Vinny. Actually, my wife who was worried that at age of 38 bogged down with my heavy stressful work, I was out of shape gaining weight with increased cholesterol at the same time - we are expecting our third child, all that led to her mission for search of the best trainer who would give me results quickly. Vinny has proved his every worth. He is aggressive and takes so much pleasure in his work and training people. He did high intensity training with me and I now feel so good with my endurance and conditioning. I had personal trainers before but Vinny is truly remarkable he introduced me to kickboxing as a cardio balance and agility work out with my muscle training which I just adore in my work out and every day I look forward to training with Vinny.
He is the best. It’s very unfortunate that I am moving from my area and Vinny cannot cover my area due to distance but I can tell you how much I am at a loss. It’s very difficult to find such skillful trainers.
P.S. Vinn is a great person and a believer I truly enjoyed my training with him.
