Rocco believes that the fitness industry has made more Fat people poor than FIT "It would take someone 2 days to assemble the Body by Jake Fitness Equipment, consistently showing that the fitness industry is more interested in selling gadgets than actual fitness." Rocco says fitness doesn't require equipment, only knowledge and a complete ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT! "We're not addressing the real issues, and I can't help but see an epidemic of FAT people creating a very "sick" and "costly" future for our society. As a former latch-key kid, Rocco spent most of his time as a child shining shoes and as construction site "go-fer" earning money to put edible food on the table for himself and his two brothers. He would hang out at his cousin's gym to box; learn martial arts so one day he could kick his father's ass and anyone else that made fun of his stuttering. Whether he is training celebrities or contestants for Miss USA, or just posing for photos at an upscale social event, Castellano is always in good company. Rocco Castellano is much more than simply a Trainer-to-the-Stars, he wants to help you get off your ass and take back America, one pound at a time.
