Today we’d like to introduce you to Anthony Carlo.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Anthony. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
In 1997, I started training clients part-time at an exclusive Gym in New York. My full-time job was a Doorman on 5th Avenue. However, training clients is what fulfilled me the most. I was given the opportunity to move to Florida, working full time for a national gym.
Here, I moved up the ranks to management, traveling around the country to manage and train employees. While I was successful in this position I still felt disconnected from training individual clients. I chose to demote myself to head trainer. Over a three year period, I trained dozens of people on their fitness journey.
By 2013, I had the confidence to start my own company. With the support of loyal clients, I opened A&M Strength and Conditioning. Today I still train many of those same clients and have expanded to train various athletes including baseball, football, gymnastics, jiu-jitsu, and MMA. I have acquired multiple certifications and attended multiple seminars all to benefit my client’s needs and my zeal for knowledge.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Every profession has its challenges. Probably the transition from employee to self-employed was a scary move considering I have a family to support.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the A&M STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING story. Tell us more about the business.
I believe what sets me apart from others in my profession is my commitment to each and every client’s needs. I train people from 7 years of age to 76. I pride myself on understanding what each client needs with varied, personalized work out plans.
Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business?
I feel lucky to have such committed clients.
