“Tony Gentilcore is a star in the fitness industry. Real life in the trenches coaching experience, real world sports and under-the-bar experience combined with an unparalleled passion for knowledge is a perfect recipe for his guaranteed successes with this clients. I was a fan of his work before I met him, and after meeting him, I am a fan of him as a person; an all around class act.”

Cassandra Forsythe

“Tony is the voice of reason when it comes to exercise and nutrition information. He is one of the few people who actually know how diet and training manipulations can improve body composition and health because he works with these slight changes in his own diet and training every day.

“When Tony writes about a topic on any fitness or training medium, you can trust that he really knows what he’s talking about. If you’re looking for an honest and effective consultant, Tony is the man for you.”

Mike Robertson

“While many trainers are content to talk about their ’success’ or label themselves as an ‘expert’, Tony is a guy who lets his results speak for themselves.

“Tony has an intimate knowledge of the human body and how it works; however, what’s truly special is his ability to take this knowledge and apply to the clients and athletes he works with. Tony Gentilcore is quickly becoming one of the go-to resources in the strength and conditioning field. Remember his name.”

Eric Cressey

“Perhaps the single best compliment one trainer or strength coach can give to another is the trust to work with one’s clients and athletes; there are very few individuals in this industry to whom I would entrust my clients and athletes’ training in my absence. Tony Gentilcore is one such trainer; I would trust him unequivocally with anyone whom I work. Tony is remarkable in not only his passion for seeking out the most cutting-edge training and nutrition information available, but also in his ability to immediately apply this new found knowledge to get rapid results with those with whom he works. I’m fortunate to be able to call him a friend, colleague, and business partner.”

From People Who I Threatened Additional Sled Pushes In Their Next Program If They Didn’t Say Something Nice

“I have trained with Tony Gentilcore for almost two years now, and I have never looked or felt as good as I do today. I attribute my success in large part to Tony’s programming and thorough knowledge of anatomy and nutrition. He is both trainer and teacher, and his knowledge never ceases to impress. Moreover, he’s an all-around great guy with an uncanny sense of humor which only makes training with him all the more pleasurable.”

“I have trained with Tony for almost two years. During those two years, I have run countless races including three Boston marathons, and have remained injury free. In fact, my sports chiropractor just said, “Someone over there (at Cressey Performance) is doing something right.” I have also gotten stronger (deadlift of 225 lbs- not bad for a 5′2″ mom of two) and completely changed the way I look at training and nutrition. I now look forward to my training sessions with Tony more than I do running. Tony’s infamous “death circuits” truly kill me, but pain has never been so awesome! Tony usually has to deal with me after a full day of teaching and being mom and wife, yet always manages to completely crack me up, stop whining and pushed me to ‘lift heavy’. If only he would stop playing the techno.”

Stephanie Holland-Brodney
Teacher, Mom, Blogger - Framingham, MA

“I began working with Tony during the busiest year of my life. Between finishing grad school, moving, starting a new job, and becoming a new dad, fitting in time to train was a challenge. Through all of it, Tony was always ready with a phenomenal program to get me to my goals of getting healthy, strong, and lean.

“Whether training at home or in a commercial gym, with unlimited time to train or only a few hours a week, Tony’s programs are always right on point.

“Technology today makes distance training a breeze. A digital camera and an internet connection allows for nearly instant feedback on lifting form. Tony has an endless library of exercise videos for instruction, and anytime I need a demonstration not in his library he’ll film it and e-mail the video within a day. While nothing is as informative or fun as dropping in on Cressey Performance to train in person, Tony makes online program design a very close second.”

Michael Davis
New Dad and Notre Dame Fan (haha) - Maine

“The reason I began training under Tony’s guidance was that I worked at an office, sitting for a great portion of the day. From reading his articles and blog, I knew Tony understood the challenges of office workers.

“In the time I worked with Tony, he helped me correct a nagging glute injury and kept me injury-free. My form for my squat, deadlift and bench press improved appreciably and the weight I pushed and pulled increased as well. I still employ the tips and tricks Tony taught me and I credit him for helping me build my strong weight-training foundation. I have no doubt that working with Tony will keep me lifting weights and staying healthy and fit for many years to come.

“However, the best thing I can say about working with Tony is this: Ask me, ‘Would you hire him again?’ Yes, absolutely.”

Michael Czobit

“I can’t recommend distance training with Tony Gentilcore strongly enough. I knew I didn’t need a rep counting, “per session” personal trainer to help me achieve my goals. My back hurt, my hips hurt, my knees hurt, and I lacked strength. Tony Gentilcore did, in one in-person assessment and subsequent distance coaching, what a physical therapist and a big stack of training books couldn’t: he made me pain free and made me stronger.

“His training method isn’t just for professional athletes. He got right down to my level, programmed to my needs, and worked with me along every step of the way. Why pay someone to count reps and watch you plank when you can pay a professional like Tony Gentilcore to write an individual program based on your needs, answer your questions, and be responsive to your training journey? From a cost-benefit perspective, distance training with Tony is a classic no-brainer.”
