What Do My Clients Have To Say?
“We started with using the scale as our metric, then I quickly recognized what you meant by the scale doesn’t tell the whole story; so I’m glad we only check in on that every so often.
It’s been great tracking my progress with photos. You see yourself everyday but you wont always notice the differences. When you put up the progress photos for me to do, it give me an opportunity to see the changes that are coming through, look at my arms!!
Not only do I feel better, but I feel that this is being done in a way that’s sustainable & focuses on me as the individual. I appreciate that we have made a genuine connection online.
When we jump on the calls to check-in, its never just straight into how the workouts are going, but you ask me “Hey, how are YOU doing” and make sure that all is good on my end to.
I really appreciate that you do that.

“The biggest change in perspective for nutrition I had was that I always used to look at it day to day - Santo would yell at me because I would be complaining about what I had been eating & he would say like “Hey, who cares you had some popcorn & candy bars last night, you ate really good all week.
Its the same thing with training I have a week where I don’t workout at all or minimally because I’m travelling for work & can only walk & get my steps in.
If you stretch that out on a two month horizon, I still made huge progress. All of March I barely worked out but I still got stronger & leaner & felt really good about myself going into April.
The day to day stuff you need to look to sometimes you’ve got to completely ignore & look at things positively.

Former varsity rugby athlete returning to fitness from a history of hip surgery.
There’s been a lot of metric focused breakthroughs while working with Santo.
Hitting 405 Lbs on my deadlift was the biggest breakthrough.
My overall conditioning has improved dramatically, the one thing that I think really separates good from great even within amateurs within this space is conditioning.
It’s something that if you’re not working with a coach who understand the importance of tying together the strength & conditioning, it’s going to be very challenging to push yourself.
Having weaknesses & imbalances between them become very obvious & if you cant be strong & run a moderate distance I would think your overall fitness is a bit in question in that regard.

“I knew Santo was going to help me get stronger physically, but I did not expect him to provide the mental health support I needed.
his positive approach to life is highly contagious.
His ability to take me to a better place mentally blew me away, and he is half my age.
I could not be more impressed and appreciative “.

There were times where I was struggling with the program, but talking to Santo about those struggles helped me to navigate through them & continue to push forward & maintain a degree of consistency that got me the results I was looking for.
My resting heart rate went from 74 beats per minute to 59 beats per minute with what felt like simple changes
I'm really happy about seeing that improvement as one of my health metrics.
I was able to also improve:
- My workout consistency
- How well I moved
- My ability to make healthier choices for nutrition
This also helped me save money in the process & got me cooking more for myself!
The ongoing text support was super helpful in times where I found myself having self-talk that wasn't the most conducive to improving my health.
Managing my anxiety through the process was key to helping me consistently push forward, while aiming for progress over perfection helped me to get under 300Lbs (286 in the photo on the right).
The collaborative process was insightful as to how I could set myself up for gradually increasing the difficulty of my habits.
This got me to the lifestyle I wanted to be in, without it feeling like it was extremely difficult or like I have to change much at all.
I would highly recommend anyone who is looking to take a holistic approach to improving their health & improving how they feel work with Santo.
His program & support is invaluable to keeping you on pace to reach your goals without feeling like it's a daily chore.
Thank you for all of your help!"

"I had already started my fitness journey 1.5years before working with Coach Santo.
Proper nutrition always seemed like an all or nothing approach for me until I started working with Him.
He provided a realistic and attainable approach to nutrition and general health that made it actually quite easy to reach goals without feeling like you had to move mountains everyday.
Santo helped me understand that fitness is more than just the time spent in the gym, but also nutrition, daily movement, water sleep, and the glass of wine that needs to be shared with friends!
Life doesn't have to pause while you get your fitness stuff together.
It's been two months now, and I'm down 12lbs, but more importantly I learned to prioritize what makes my body feel better - like getting enough sleep and movement throughout the day.
I learned that being able to fit your best friend's baby inside your jacket means more than the pounds lost on the scale!
I would recommend working with Santo for anyone that is struggling to do it at all once and wants guidance doing it in an actual attainable fashion that turns into a lifestyle.
Thank you, coach Santo!"
“ In the beginning you wanted to make sure that I was going to commit to tracking my food & do the things you asked & I said yes.
I never did this before man, for me I never tracked my food or intake or calories or protein. As soon as you asked me that question I knew that there are some people who don’t follow it & if I’m going to make a change I’m going to have to commit to this question…
And I did.
The moment you asked me was the moment I committed and now it’s like I’m wired this way. Now I’m just tracking my food like it’s nothing.
A lot of people who don’t do it think it’s a lot of work, but once you do it once, twice or three times, you realize it’s not as hard as you think.
I’m grateful for you & the program. I feel & look amazing, I’m wearing suits I haven’t worn in years and all of my clients are noticing it too.”

"I've been working with Santo for the past 7 weeks, and have seen a ton of progress while being in this program!
Before I got started, 1 had been working out regularly, but really needed something that was going to help me push my results.
I needed guidance on nutrition and specific gym routines as I transitioned out of a fully class based workout routine, I wasn't sure if an online program would work and keep me accountable, but Santo has been supportive every step of the way.
Bi weekly phone calls and regular text check ins have made me feel like there is someone there supporting me and keeping me honest.
He's always super quick to respond whenever i have questions or concerns!
During the course of 7 weeks, I'm already down:
~10 lbs
- 5% body fat
- Feel more confident looking in the mirror, and notice that my clothes are fitting me better!
I'd recommend a program like this for anyone
- whether you're new to working out or have been exercising for awhile, Santo can tailor a program that will work with your needs and help tweak anything along the way!"

“I started losing weight before I started with you & it was kind of just fat loss .
I started with you & I was 219 Lbs & now I am 209 in 13 short weeks.
There was a lull in time where my weight didn’t change but my body was changing especially in my legs… I HAVE A BUTT NOW!
I’ve lost 10 sizes since we’ve worked together.
There’s been a confidence boost in all of my facets of life. I got a promotion at work & I feel like I’m really just taking the time to show everyone that
I’m worth it. “
