description: For Rocco Castellano, over-the-top is his everyday language. As an internationally known and controversial fitness expert with a career spanning over 34 years, this East Coast Italian has an opinion on everything. This guy can raise your heart rate just by sitting next to you. His booming voice fills a room regardless of the size, and you really never know what will come out of that mouth when he opens it. With a name like Rocco you just know he was bred on the streets of New York with attitude dripping from his veins. He loves controversy, embraces confrontation, and wants to change your life.You can ask him about anything and he'll respond with an answer that is filled with attitude. The funny thing is that once you start listening to him youre forever hooked.It doesnt matter if you hate him or love him, you will listen to what he has to say. Rocco's no-holds barred approach to fitness is recognized by The National Academy of Sports Medicine and Club Industry. Rocco believes that the fitness industry has made more Fat people poor than FIT "It would take someone 2 days to assemble the Body by Jake Fitness Equipment, consistently showing that the fitness industry is more interested in selling gadgets than actual fitness." Rocco says fitness doesnt require equipment, only knowledge and a complete ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT! "We're not addressing the real issues, and I can't help but see an epidemic of FAT people creating a very sick and costly future for our society. As a former latch-key kid, Rocco spent most of his time as a child shining shoes and as construction site go-fer earning money to put edible food on the table for himself and his two brothers. He would hang out at his cousins gym to box; learn martial arts so one day he could kick his fathers ass and anyone else that made fun of his stuttering. Whether he is training celebrities or contestants for Miss USA, or just posing for photos at an upscale social event, Castellano is always in good company. Rocco Castellano is much more than simply a Trainer-to-the-Stars, he wants to help you get off your ass and take back America, one pound at a time. If you have the desire to change your attitude, then Rocco wants to help change your life.
