The next day, Marco came back and once again vomited, but this time, he made it to the bathroom. He was approached by a behemoth sized trainer named Magnus, and accepted his help.
From that day forward and over the course of 2 years, Marco dropped in excess of 100 Lbs and maintained that loss for over 8 years. What is staggering is that he never regressed once in his fat loss. He did it right the first time, and has never looked back.
Fuelled by passion to help people, Marco left the full time music business and turned his sights on a career in fitness. He spoke to as many trainers as he could and finally enrolled to earn a Personal Trainer Specialist accreditation. There, he met Susan, one of the fittest females on the planet. They exchanged email addresses and met to study for the exam, which they both passed. Marco and Susan went their separate ways, and some time later formed a friendship, which led to deep love.
Marco thought it would make a great headline some day “former fat guy, becomes personal trainer and lands fitness babe”.
Eager to begin his new career, Marco applied to several gyms and was called for an interview by one of the largest gym franchises in Canada and the USA. The Fitness Director of the facility instantly recognized the power of Marco's story, as well as his success and passion, and decided to give him a shot. When Marco received his red staff shirt, he ran to his car and cried like a baby.
In the meantime, Marco and Susan grew as a couple. He had the privilege of helping to coach Susan to 2 national fitness titles, adding to the one she previously held. He wrote and edited her music routine, helped her choreograph it, took control of her diet, cooked her meals, and even trained her in the gym. It was quite a pairing. Though he had lost so much weight, Marco refused Susan's advances for months. She would say “I love you” and he would not respond in kind. Marco still saw himself as a very fat man and never thought he could have a chance with such a gorgeous, world class athlete. She persisted, thank God, and the storybook romance exists to this day, with promise of a future eternal.
After a short time, Marco was a full time trainer with a 100% renewal base. Nine months later, the franchise was bought by another company. Marco was offered a position as a Fitness Consultant, which he accepted. He was instantly successful in his new position and broke company records, besting contemporaries who had been trainers and consultants for over two decades. Marco's passion threatened the status quo. He was promoted to Lead Fitness Consultant and in record time was given the managerial position at the franchises flagship location. It was the fastest promotion to the position in the company's 10 year history. Later that year, Marco was honored by his peers with the Top Consultant of the Year Award, which he earned over hundreds of other, more experienced co-workers.
In just under one year, Marco's was personally responsible for having sold $700,000.00 in personal training contracts, which, when compiled with his new role as manager, saw him total well over
$ 1,000,000.00.
Three years ago, Marco had begun to take excerpts from his weight loss journals and place them all together into one document. These proved to be the seeds of the book “Starving to be Fat”.
Marco has hosted television shows, held assemblies at schools and conducted over 1000 fitness consultations. It is impossible to accurately calculate how many people he has spearheaded to successful weight loss.
In midst of corporate chaos, and in a challenge to his integrity and ethics, Marco left a six figure salary while the country was neck deep in recession. With no guarantee of a job, only a possible referral from a friend and co-worker, Marco was hired by the largest fitness franchise in Canada within 3 days of his exit. In the shortest business month of the year, with Canada in a deep recession, and without any systems training at his new position, the challenges were mammoth. Marco invested in his staff and set a record by smashing quota in a club that failed to hit in January, historically the busiest time of the year for gyms. Realizing his desire was to help people by means other than balancing spreadsheets and hitting budgetary targets, Marco made another change and decided to leave life behind a desk. Now, he is an author, speaker and elite weight loss coach.
As a manager, he is noted for being a man of resolute integrity—he always saw his employees as people first, then, as co-workers. He has been credited with saving people's careers and steering them to the path of their own natural destiny.
Marco recalls his private declaration on the steps of the gym he first entered. Looking back so many years later, it is safe to say that the mission is nearly accomplished.
Then again, it may just be beginning.
