I’ve spent a lot of time making content and posting workout supplements for you guys to train along to. If you like what you see and it’s helped you at all, consider making a donation. It helps me pay for the site, helps me continue to train myself so that I can learn more material to pass on to you, and it helps me buy my cat toys that he’ll ignore to play with balled paper receipts from CVS. Thanks and keep training!

Vinny is an excellent trainer. His focus on technique really makes you see rapid improvements. I've done virtual and in person workouts with him over the years and it's worth it every time.

I've had some personal training at various points in my life, but Vinny's one-to-one sessions are above the rest... By a mile. First, the kickboxing technique is unmatched. I feel like I'm constantly learning from him.

Vinny is a superb trainer. He's extremely good at explaining things, not just the mechanics but the rationale behind it, so you’re not just going through the motions without intuition for the application.
