MARIO GONZALEZ

Mario Gonzalez is the owner of St. Charles Avenue Athletic Club and member of the Raw 504 power lifting team.  Mario is a perfect example of health and is proof of the many benefits of fitness.  He began his personal journey in April of 2007.  At nearly 288 pounds, Mario decided he needed to make a change. He realized, in order to make a transformation, he needed to commit to a new lifestyle.  Mario then invested in personal trainer to help him achieve his goals. He set realistic goals for Mario, monitored his progress, encouraged him and kept him motivated.  In addition to his training, Mario worked out alone, ran six days a week and followed a diet plan. Mario initially lost 110 pounds in about 6-7 months.  Mario continues to train with a Personal Trainer, setting realistic goals, changing up his training and diet plan for maintenance.

Beginning of last year, Mario took his training to the next level, when he joined the Raw 504 powerlfiting team, in addition to his regular training sessions.  Mario is a great lifter and continues to get stronger and stronger.  He never ceases to amaze us!
