Background:

Hi, my name is Tom Venuto and thanks for visiting my bio page, where you can learn everything you want to know about me, why you should listen to me, and more importantly, how I can help you reach your fitness, bodybuilding or fat loss goals, faster and more efficiently, without unnecessary supplements or dangerous drugs.

I'm glad that you're curious to read about my credentials, because with the ease of self-publishing on the Internet, (along with a lot of slick marketing), it has become more and more difficult to tell apart the legitimate experts from the self proclaimed "gurus" on the web today.

When you're looking on the Internet for information you can trust to help you achieve the body of your dreams, you have to be careful these days. Check for education, certification, experience and of course, a great track record of results from satisfied clients. I'm confident that after you see my credentials below, you will agree that I meet all these criteria and more, and I hope you will give me the opportunity to help you along in your own fitness journey.

Competitive Bodybuilder And Fitness Industry Expert Since 1989.

I've been bodybuilding since 1983 and competing since 1989. I've been involved in the fitness industry as a personal trainer, health club owner/manager, nutrition consultant, and freelance writer since 1988. I began publishing health and fitness information on the internet in 1999. For many years, I was also co-owner and operator of Empire Fitness Club, a health club chain with locations in New Jersey and New York, which had over eleven thousand members at four locations. I currently still work as a consultant for the health club industry and I am a full-time author and publisher. As you can see, I've worked in almost every aspect of the fitness industry and bodybuilding and fitness has been my entire life's work - it's all I've ever done.

I've been recognized by magazine editors and industry experts as one of the nation's leading authorities on fat loss and natural bodybuilding. My education includes a degree in exercise science and two certifications; "Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist" (CSCS) and “Certified Personal Trainer” from the National Strength & Conditioning Association (NSCA). I’m also a current member of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), and the International Society for Sports Nutrition (ISSN).
