Mr. Maggio has been in the training industry for over ten years, starting with sales
at World Gym in Woodland Hills California. Selling memberships just wasn't
cutting it for Mr. Maggio, so he decided to learn everything about the training
industry. By becoming friends with a number of highly rated trainers
at the gym, it was an excellent opportunity to learn every angle of the fitness
industry. With actors and actresses coming in and out, that was just
a sign of the talent World Gym had working for them!
Once concentrating
on personal training many hours out of the day, certification was a must to
continue and head toward bigger things. With one of the top trainers in
the gym as a roommate, there was nothing that Mr. Maggio didn't learn about what
and what not to do!
Within two months of training, Mr. Maggio became
one of the top trainers at World Gym as well as in the Woodland Hills area.
With World Gym being his home, other Country Clubs and Fitness Centers became
interested as well to allow Mr. Maggio to train even more clients. Working
nearly ten hours a day, Mr. Maggio had several clients on waiting lists
just to get a consultation.
With the clientele that had built
up, Mr. Maggio just needed a little help to satisfy everyone. Mr. Maggio
personally trained several trainers with his own techniques, programs, and styles.
Once they completed his sessions, Mr. Maggio turned over his clientele
to a team that was created.
With an established clientele, Mr. Maggio
had to make sure everyone was comfortable with their assigned trainers.
After confirmation, Mr. Maggio decided to move back to his hometown of New
Orleans to become an owner of his own gym.
Within a couple of
months, Mr. Maggio and an old friend from High School, Mr. Pete Tsatalios opened
two fitness centers, one Uptown and one in Metairie. With the Uptown facility,
it was mainly a fitness center, built for everyone. The Metairie
Location was more of a 'one on one' personal training facility, designed to accommodate
everyone as well.
With Hurricane Katrina, they decided to
close the gym and find other ventures. Mr. Tsatalios decided to go back to
his hometown, Greece, while Mr. Maggio decided to focus on personal training
in the Houston area.
Instead of opening up a facility, Mr. Maggio decided
to do strictly 'one on one' training, but making it convenient for every
client. By offering training at local gyms as well as 'in home' training,
this allows every client to keep their membership and still get trained without
the hassle of joining another gym.
Mr. Maggio will do what
it takes to help each and every client reach their goals and at the same time,
continue to deliver helpful knowledge of nutrition and new routines, which will
eventually allow every client to continue on their own path without the need of
a personal trainer.
