Who am I and what is my philosophy?
I am Tom Fortunato. I am an ACE Certified Personal Trainer operating Fitness Motivation in the Rochester New York area. My interests are my spouse of many years, my two sons and 5 grandchildren, and, anything to do with fitness and healthy living. I spend my days helping others to get fit and to feel good about themselves. I do this in my work as a trainer, with my newsletter, and with this Blog.
I believe that everyone, regardless of age, has a need to stay physically active to the level that his or her body allows. I didn’t always feel that way. As a fat kid with a terrible body- image, the only time I exercised was when I couldn’t find a way to get out of gym class! My hobbies were; sitting, and eating junk food. And I was very good at doing both of them.
All through my teens, I hated how I felt about myself, and especially, I hated how I looked. Eventually, I came to realize that the only thing keeping me feeling and looking that way, was… ME!
It was a long road from that realization to where I am now, and someday I may tell that story, but these days, a “good” day is when I’ve had a good workout and a “great” day is when I helped someone else to have a good one.
