Pat Manocchia: Hot Celebrity Trainer

Manocchia, a fitness expert for ABC’s Good Morning America is the latest sensation in New York City’s fitness industry.  

 He is  a former collegiate hockey player and a personal trainer for more than 20 years. His prospects include celebrities  like Madonna, Julia Roberts, John McEnroe, Liam Neeson, Natasha Richardson, Kelly Klein, Joan Lunden and late JFK Jr.

Personal training fees and a membership with Pat Manocchia will cost you about $8,000 a year. He is the celebrity trainer, that is what you can call him. 

He is  the author of  “Anatomy of  Exercise: A Trainer’s Inside Guide to Your Workout”, which hit bookshelves earlier this year.

He changes his regimen every eight to 12 weeks. Each phase focuses on a single aspect, such as strength or aerobic capacity. And different phases call for different equipment.

He now runs the ‘La Palestra Center for Preventative Medicine’ in Manhattan on the upper West Side.

Pat’s tips on fitness:
 

1) Train appropriately for what you want to do. You need to understand what that is and then you need to do it the right way.
2) You’ve got to eat the right stuff. If you don’t eat the right stuff, you don’t have the right fuel and it just doesn’t work.
3) Rest. People think more is better. More is not better. I don’t care who you are, what kind of training regimen you have or how good your diet is, if you don’t rest properly, you will not become fitter. In fact, you’re on the road to an injury and your training will diminish.
