About Me
Hallo, my name is Andrea De Persio and i'm a ISSA Fitnes
s Professional, i currently hold the prestigious ISSA personal trainer certification along with other numerous specializations.
My fitness journey began in 2005 when for the first time i joined a small gym in my town, the name of the gym was ' body action'. i remember the excitement after i stepped foot out of that gym, i immediately knew that fitness was going to be my calling, the only regret i have was working out without a real guide or a trainer that was able to teach me everything he knew about training health and nutrition,so i pretty much did all by my own , in 2006 i've joined a boxing club, boxing as always been one of my favourite sport and that was another great experience. and i've learnt a lot and i had fun doing so , that time i was boxing and weigth lifting and i really started to see my body change. at the end of 2007 i left Italy and move to the U.S. , i went to Florida and while i was there the first thing i've done was to join one of the gym in St.Augustine beach, the' World Gym Express ' and it was a super exerience where i saw the passion for fitness grow even further, in fact was during that time that i started to learn more about this industry by watching how people approach to training by asking and experiencing new thing. After a while i moved to Pennsylvania, going back and forth between Italy and USA. In 2010 i joined the local gym in Sarver, Pennsylvania, the ' Schrec's Health Club 'because i knew the owner of the gym , coach Lance, Lance was a American Council on Exercise (ACE) certified coach and during my workouts i've learnt a lot from him even when he was preparing the local powerlifting team, i was always with my ears open and my eyes ready to catch some new insight. i really liked that environment, it was very motivational and instructive.during that time i've also joined the Three River Fencing School in Pittsburg for few months. in 2011 i came back to Italy, and i had some few tough years to follow, due to some physically issues, i've suffered some major problem on my shoulder because of my first years of training without the proper guidance of a trainer. while i was injured i started to really think about how i was going to carry on working out along with shoulder issues, and most of all i wanted to start helping people, i did not want that what appened to me was going to happen to someone else , so i decided to become a trainer my self, and i started to look at training organization and certification agency, based upon the great experience i had in the US i decided to look at an American certification agency because i consider American instruction a superior one especially for what concerne the fitness industry, the job was not easy , but i finally joined the International Sport Science Association (ISSA) and after a while i reached my goal to become a Certified Personal Trainer, after that i kept on with my study and i did a lot of continuing education courses with the American Council on Exercise (ACE), ELAV the Italian specialized school in exercise science ,and i've got many specialized certification with the National Exercise and Sport Trainer Association (NESTA) and again with ISSA, the Corrective Exercise Specialist and DNA-based Fitness Coach certification, i've also receve a post secondary graduate school certificate with the Colorado Boulder University in Science of Exercise. I am a Genetic Direction Affiliate where i provide personalized health program using genetic testing.I am also a member of IDEA Health and Fitness Association which is the world's leading organization of fitness professionals.Fitness world is constantly evolving and i always look at the latest scientific based research in this industry because this this allow me to be the best trainer i can be by helping people reaching their goal!
