<p>Below are 10 reasons why you should hire me as your trainer.</p>
<p><strong>1. I am always honest and reliable </strong></p>
<p>I have over 5 years experience as being a personal trainer. I have a lot of passion for my job, I have been training in and out of gyms since I was 14 years old. I have studied and have over a decade of knowledge along the way. I am not that sort of trainer who has been training for 2 years or has gotten his/her Personal training certification, and then pretends I he or she knows everything. That is not my style or my character. Along the way I have done both, studied the physiology of the human body and have trained at the highest physical possible level.</p>
<p><strong>2. I always plan and organize realistic goals and expectations for my clients </strong></p>
<p>Again I am not one of those trainers who will put you on a ridiculous diet and put you on supplements. Which will only give you quick-short term result, which will only be wasting your time and your money. I never take short cuts with my training and dieting, so why should my clients?</p>
<p><strong>3. My clients come first</strong></p>
<p>I always find time to get back to all my clients questions and demands. Some trainers leave there clients with a program and diet plan. But don&#8217;t bother explaining to there clients what is going on with the program. Its like a doctor giving you a program for your sore lower back, and not telling you why its going to work for you. So why should you hang onto his or her words?</p>
<p><strong>4. I give out proper programs</strong></p>
<p>I give out workouts and nutrition programs to all my clients, which are easy to follow.<br />
While other trainers can&#8217;t be bothered and  simply copy and paste there workouts and diets off other websites, or even had out there own workout or diet programs. God made us all made different, so why would a work out or diet program from someone else work for you? Simple answer is: it wont! We are all born different from one another, and our bodies are all unique. So in the end, we all need a workout program and diet program that is specific to our body, shape and size needs.</p>
<p><strong>5. I have never used steroids </strong></p>
<p>Why have a trainer who has taken the easy road? I don&#8217;t understand how people can pay someone money, who has taken the easy way. Its like going to church and the priest telling you cheating on your wife is a sin, yet he goes out on the weekend and has sex with married women at the local pub.</p>
<p><strong>6. My physique never changes</strong></p>
<p>You can have a look at my photo gallery and progress results at<br />
http://bodyspace.bodybuilding.com/Scarfdaddy</p>
<p>Why have a physique that changes?  My body stays the same all year round, wouldn&#8217;t you like your body looking great all year round? Why go threw those ridiculous cutting and bulking diets? Its very taxing and unhealthy on your body, also majority of body builders are on steroids. Also a study was done saying symmetrical bodies attract the opposite sex. Makes sense, seeing as there was another study done saying symmetrical facial features attract the opposite sex. So why wouldn&#8217;t you want to look and stay symmetrical to your body type all the time?</p>
<p><strong>7. I evaluate my personal training sessions</strong></p>
<p>When I was getting my business started, I used to watch other trainers. I would look on and question, would I pay money to be trained like that? So in doing that, I have a lot of pride that comes along with my training sessions. So I make my sessions that good, that I even I would pay for them.</p>
<p><strong>8. I have friends who are professional athletes, doctors,  nutritionists and kinesiologists-Sports doctors, surgeons and lawyers</strong></p>
<p>My life is always heavily influenced in the right way, sometimes its good getting other opinions. While other trainers will get opinions and ideas they have either heard at the gym or off the internet. They follow myths and stories of secret supplements, myth diets, and all sorts of bizarre ideas based on myths. Just have a look at my body building myths on this web page. So my views and opinions are always approved by all the right sort of people that they should be approved by. I Consult with doctors, physiotherapists, dietitians and other allied health professionals to create health and fitness programs for my clients.</p>
<p><strong>9. You get educated</strong></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t simply tell you do this and eat this. Without first knowing, how, why, what, where and when.<br />
Most trainers will get you to do this and take these supplement shakes in your diet. I will tell you why and what is going on with the program. I will never put you on supplement shakes or even supplements for that matter. Would you like drinking meal replacing supplements your whole life?<br />
Supplement means to: to make up for a deficiency.<br />
So its obvious the trainer, is to lazy or does not want to go threw the effort of making you a proper program or diet. When you have a proper diet, you don&#8217;t need any sort of supplement. I give you results you keep for the rest of your life. You will never be given diets and workouts that you cannot maintain for the rest of your life. For me its never about the money, the fitness industry is embarrassing.<br />
Lucky enough if you choose me to be your trainer, you wont have to deal with cons and scams ever again.</p>
<p><strong>10. I TRAIN AND HAVE TRAINED WITH FRIENDS COMPETING AND TRAINING AT OLYMPIC AND PROFESSIONAL LEVELS</strong></p>
<p><strong>WHY SETTLE FOR A SECOND RATE TRAINER? FUNCTIONAL-PRODUCTIVE MUSCLE IS THE WAY TO GO. HOW CAN YOU TAKE GUIDANCE OR PAY SOMEONE WHO HAS NOT COMPETED AT OR IS EVEN TRAINING AT THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE LEVEL. WHY PAY AND SETTLE FOR A SECOND RATE TRAINER???????????</strong></p>
<p><strong>11. I Help you to Become a Personal Trainer<br />
How do I do this for you? Read all of they above. </strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><center><img src="http://www.brunosfitness.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/John-Mitri.bmp" alt="John Mitri" /></center></p>
<p>First of all, I had Bruno as my trainer for short period of time. He trained me for 8 weeks straight. Before Bruno, I hated the gym, and working out period. Until this guy personal trained me. I had the best workouts of my life and I had so much fun. He taught me so much about training and my health, and how to eat a normal balanced diet. The diet advise and guidance has helped me so much in regards to my body fat levels. Bruno helped me reduce my body fat half of the amount that it originally was. In a matter of 8 solid weeks of training! I had gone from 36% body fat to 18% body fat. </p>
<p>My abs after many years of training, had finally become visible. I had the top 4 showing. If it was not for my engagement and work commitments. I would have continued to have used Bruno as my personal trainer. Bruno has also changed my whole view on health and fitness. The guy always gave me answers with answers to the answers. He has really showed me, what it is, and what it takes to be truly fit. Its not a matter of lifting heavy weights at the gym or jogging 1 hour on the treadmill. It was about going as hard as I possibly could, and pushing my body to its absolute potential. He was my mentor and training partner through out my 8 week ordeal. I don&#8217;t think, I have ever seen a trainer who actually trains with the clients.</p>
<p>Having him as my partner, helped me out tremendously. He set the bar to the highest possible level. I was always trying hard as possible to keep up, or do half of what he did. Instead of standing beside me like a typical trainer, he was there with me all the way. Always encouraging me and really motivating me all the time. The 8 week one on one sessions with Bruno, was one of the greatest times, I had ever had training. It made my previous years of training feel like a huge waste of time, money and effort. </p>
<p>Last thing I would like to say is, if you want serious no bullshit results? Then you should consider hiring Bruno as your trainer. I sit and watch other trainers and clients in action at my local gym or at the park. I laugh to myself, because it looks to me, no one is willing or wanting to get fit. I see all these people doing these bootcamps or hiring some trainer who doesn&#8217;t act or even look the part of a personal trainer to begin with. Bottom line&#8230;&#8230;if you are tired of going home and looking in the mirror and seeing no change in your body from your sessions with your average trainers and want to stop wasting your time in these big group bullshit bootcamps. You know who to contact. </p>

<p>Having Bruno as my trainer, mentor and dietitian has helped me so much in my life. As you can see with my before photo, I was not very happy with my lifestyle. Once I had meet Bruno and had him as my personal trainer, my world was turned upside down&#8230;&#8230;for the better. He has guided me to eat right and train smart. I always tell everyone about how good Bruno is as a trainer and how no other trainer can compare. I am happy to not just talking about how good Bruno is, but how I can show everyone with my after picture as well. I always catch out other trainers trying to mimic Bruno&#8217;s training style and I see that as the biggest form of flattery toward him. I can only say, if Bruno is not your PT, or you haven&#8217;t tried having him as your trainer, you are only settling for an average/second best type of trainer. His mind and body speak for itself.      </p>

<p>Ingredients:</p>
<p>    * 1 large head romaine lettuce, outside leaves discarded<br />
    * 1 large tomato, chopped<br />
    * 1 small red bell pepper, cut into 1 inch long pieces<br />
    * 1/2 small avocado, cut into chunks<br />
    * 2 TBS coarsely chopped walnuts (optional)<br />
    * Dressing<br />
    * 2 TBS lemon juice<br />
    * 2 tsp balsamic vinegar<br />
    * Extra virgin olive oil to taste<br />
    * Salt and cracked black pepper to taste</p>
<p>Directions:</p>
<p>   1. Remove outer leaves of lettuce heads and discard. Cut off tops of leaves and discard as they are bitter.<br />
   2. Chop remaining inner leaves. Rinse in cold water, and if you have a salad spinner, spin lettuce to dry. If you don&#8217;t have one, remove as much water as possible in a colander and then dry with paper towels. This will keep the flavor of the salad from getting diluted.<br />
   3. Whisk together lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper in a small bowl and toss with salad greens. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts if desired. Serves 4</p>
<p><strong>#6. 15-Minute Healthy Sautéed Chicken &#038; Bok Choy</strong></p>
<p>Healthy Sauté is one of my Healthiest Way of Cooking methods because it avoids the necessity to use heated oils that can be damaging to your health. Low in calories, this easy-to-prepare meal provides you with a rich concentration of many health-promoting nutrients including vitamins B, C, and K as well as protein and much more.</p>
<p>Prep and Cook Time: 15 minutes</p>

<p>    * 2 TBS low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth<br />
    * 1 cup chopped scallions<br />
    * 2 TBS fresh minced ginger<br />
    * 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces<br />
    * 1½ cups sliced fresh shiitake mushrooms<br />
    * 4 cups chopped bok choy<br />
    * 2 TBS soy sauce<br />
    * 1 TBS rice vinegar<br />
    * salt and white pepper to taste<br />
    * pinch of red pepper flakes</p>
<p>Directions:</p>
<p>   1. Heat broth in a stainless steel skillet.<br />
   2. When broth begins to steam, add scallions and Healthy Salute for 2 minutes.<br />
   3. Add ginger and continue to sauté for another minute.<br />
   4. Add chicken and continue to sauté.<br />
   5. After 2-3 minutes, add shiitake mushrooms and bok choy. Continue to sauté for another 3-4 minutes, and then add soy sauce, rice vinegar, salt, and pepper. Serves 4</p>
<p>Scallion is also called &#8220;spring onion&#8221;, &#8220;green onion&#8221;. A scallion is an immature onion with a white base (not yet a bulb) and long green leaves. Both parts of the scallion are edible. Available in Asian market. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These exercises are often done in sets-3 sets of 8, for example-check with a professional to determine what would be best for you).</p>
<p>Never attempt any exercise without first consulting a physician to determine if the exercises or program you are attempting are right for you. In addition, contact weight lifting professionals to determine if you are executing lifts correctly as it can be highly dangerous not to. </p>
<p>Here are a few ways for athletes or would be athletes to gain explosive power while training. </p>
<p><strong>Ravers</strong><br />
This one is simple. Put a barbell across your shoulders as if you were going to execute a standard squat. The difference is that you will have one foot forward and the other back. Bend your knees slightly and then quickly switch foot positions with a small jump. Do this back and forth rather forcefully. </p>
<p><strong>Uphill sprints</strong><br />
Remember this back in high school (for all of you former high school wrestlers and football players)? Uphill sprints. Simple and it works to build explosive strength.</p>
<p>Put on a weight vest and it works even better, or worse, depending on your outlook.</p>
<p><strong>Load Release Jumps</strong><br />
Get a sturdy bench or something similar that can hold your weight because you will be jumping on it. It&#8217;s probably appropriate to once again start with no weight until you are used to the exercise. However, when you have dumbbell weight, here&#8217;s what you do.</p>
<p>Hold the weight in front of you and quickly drop into a squat (the weight will be between your legs). Just prior to jumping up onto the bench, release the weight. Some use a weight vest while performing this exercise. </p>
<p><strong>Dumbell Jerk</strong><br />
Start with a shoulder width stance and point the toes straight ahead. While doing this, hold dumbbells in each hand up to your shoulders with your elbows pointing straight ahead. One end of each dumbbell will actually rest on each shoulder.</p>
<p>From there, one should drop straight down a few inches and then explosively jump and extend up. Then-and speed is of the essence, here-one should drop straight down into a lunge position with one leg forward and the other back. The weight should be caught with one&#8217;s arms fully extended in the bottom position. Stand up with the arms extended until you are upright and be careful not to take elongated steps (these should be small). The arms should be fully extended and behind the ears in the catch position. </p>
<p><strong>Standing Triple Jump</strong><br />
With a shoulder width stance, start with a horizontal jump. Then, landing on one leg, explode up again, this time landing on the other leg. After exploding into a jump once more, practitioners will land on both legs softly and repeat. </p>
<p><strong>Depth Jumps</strong><br />
Depth jumps involve stepping off boxes-heights can vary- and upon landing on the floor with both legs at the same time, practitioners must explode into the air. The use of arm swings adds power to this exercise. </p>
<p><strong>Barbell Quarter Jump Squats</strong></p>
<p>Barbell Jump squats involve performing a quarter squat. Then the practitioner explodes up during the concentric phase of the lift to the point that his/ her hips and knees propel them into the air. In other words, they jump. Upon landing the lifter should stop downward motion as soon as possible and then jump back into the air.</p>
<p>At first, lifters should probably use no weight at all until they get used to the movement. During this stage, they may utilize an arm swing. Then low weight may be added. </p>
