Canadian fitness personal trainer

Read about Marco's ascent to the top of the Canadian fitness industry as not only a highly successful personal trainer, but also as a consultant who has moved, inspired and spearheaded countless individuals towards finally losing fat, permanently.

From a man who, at a young age, has been touched by death twice in his his immediate family and who as a single father has raised an autistic child, expect very down to earth from a seasoned warrior who continued to battle the odds, and won!
Starving to be Fat

WIRED TO WIN!

A man loses 150 lb and in record time becomes a top fitness consultant...

Single father to a special needs child, divorce survivor, death of his father and sister, and how a man completely changed his life and beat
the odds.

“SIR, CAN YOU PLEASE MOVE? YOU ARE TOO FAT TO SIT HERE.”

How does a man lose 150 lb. keep it off, and in record time become a top Fitness consultant?

Marco’s new book "Starving to be Fat" chronicles the permanent weight loss of Marco Girgenti. A transformation so powerful that it caught the attention of the producer's of the Oprah Winfrey Show. About 2% of people that lose weight actually manage to keep it off; Marco has done it for nearly a decade. How did he do it? On a plane to New York, Marco could not get the seat belt around his stomach, and when the lady beside him turned and said: "sir, can you please move? You are too fat to sit here," Marco all too painfully knew that she was right, and that it was time to make massive changes. Hear the story of a survivor. A failed marriage, caring single-handedly for his special needs son, the death of his father and sister, and of course; how he beat the fat that threatened his very life. From throwing up all over himself in full view of other people on
his first day at a gym, to an epic battle with low self-esteem and how a former fat guy wound up in a relationship with a fitness model, "Starving to be Fat", taps into everything an overweight person is feeling as only the experience of someone who has lived it can, and arms you with the weaponry needed to win back control of your life.

Recently, with no systems training or knowledge of a company’s workings, as a manager, he stepped in and invested in his staff, empowering and motivating them. He treated them as “people”, not subordinates. In the shortest business month of the year, and with the country neck deep in recession, Marco and his team shattered a record and obliterated their quota.

Marco Girgenti: Elite Weight Loss Coach

Susan Braumberger

Starving To Be Fat

Marco Girgenti is 43 years of age and resides in Toronto, Canada.

Marco dropped out of school at the age of 16 to pursue a career as a professional tennis player. After winning a few tournaments, he was sent to a sports camp to serve as Tennis Clinician. Shortly after learning that an opportunity was formulating to have Marco enter the qualifying rounds of the Canadian Open (against the likes of Borg, McEnroe, Connors), he sustained a career-ending injury. When Marco was 10 years of age, his sister (then 16) died, and when he reached 17, his father also died.

Turning then to music, Marco quickly became a sought after studio musician and composer/arranger. As a result of this change in lifestyle, now sedentary, Marco began to gain weight. His 15-year career earned him numerous awards in the arts. He did not receive any type of formal schooling in music, recognizing it was a gift freely given to him. He conducted in New York City, wrote music for the world's top figure skaters, commercials, television themes and served as composer/arranger on over 20 albums. He has been the chief arranger and composer on 3 Covenant Award winning albums as well as a Juno® award, and has served as Music Director/Director of Worship in 2 churches. The ability to write for an entire orchestra just seemed to be an innate capability. In 2006, Marco received a letter from Ennio Morricone, the foremost composer of film music in the world, praising Marco's work.

Marco married, then subsequently separated from his then wife of 13 years. The marriage produced a son who is now 16 years of age. Marco took on the mantle of full time father to his boy, who was diagnosed as autistic. Raising a special needs child caused Marco to see the world from a different, perhaps simpler perspective. Known for his communication skills and quick mind, Marco was now forced to change the way he communicated in order to be able to converse with his son.

There is now little doubt in his mind that the death of his father, the pressures of a failed marriage and raising an autistic child all contributed to his substantial weight gain. Marco, once a lean and elite athlete, was now grossly overweight, weighing in at well over 300 lbs, sporting size 54 pants and pre-diabetic with a body fat at 49%.

Moment of Change

On a flight to New York city, Marco was unable to fasten the seatbelt around his waist. His “moment of change” occurred when the passenger next to him turned and said, “Sir, can you move? You are too fat to sit here”. Crushed, Marco landed in New York to hold dressed rehearsals for a musical he was conducting. As his score papers fell to the ground, he bent over to collect them and the dress pants he was wearing tore, stem to stern. Marco wrapped his jacket around his waist and fled the room in tears.

Over time, he ran into friends he had not seen for years and had to convince them that the Marco they knew back then, was still indeed “Marco”, as he was so overweight, his friends did not recognize him. This was crystallized when he one day picked up his mom from the airport after her return from 9 months overseas, and she did not instantly recognize him. A mom, could not recognize her own son! Marco had to wave her on as he proclaimed “I'm over here mom, it's me”.

“What happened to you?” said she, “I could not recognize it was you”.

He began to read everything he could about weight loss, diets etc..., quickly realizing no diet would work for him. After losing some weight while still in New York (by walking), he decided to join a gym once back in Toronto. Marco drove to his local gym every weekday for 3 weeks and sat in the parking lot, fists white-knuckled and clenched to his steering wheel. He was paralyzed by fear and could not summon the courage to walk into the gym due to his embarrassment of being so overweight and out of shape. After 3 weeks, he actually got out of his car and made it to the entrance doors. Again, he was incapacitated by fear. At that moment, exhausted while struggling up two flights of stairs, he silently declared, “If I ever beat this, I am going to tell the world how I did it. I want to be a personal trainer”. Then, he laughed at himself for even allowing such a thought. When he finally breached that barrier, Marco walked up a flight of stairs to the main reception desk and had to stop twice to catch his breath.

After obtaining a guest membership, Marco got on a treadmill and in 3 minutes threw up everything he had eaten all over himself and the machine. He could feel people's eyes on him as the embarrassment weighed on him heavier than his fat or vomit did. He left the gym immediately without even stopping to shower, for fear of being seen naked in the changing room.

Marco's Journey

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.
