Built for real life. Proven by results.

For any athlete serious about training, Sammy Callari is the go-to professional trainer. I have worked with him virtually every week for eight years and have never been better conditioned. Working with him is the best investment I’ve made in my health. Period.

Most importantly, it is not an overstatement that Sammy saved my life through his knowledge-based training program.

I had been a competitive athlete all my life, with coaches and trainers all along. Two years ago, I had life-changing pelvic surgery, which changed the way I could move. Sammy helped me regain balance, agility, and strength that I would have otherwise lost forever.

I've been training with Sammy for the past 8 years, am in the best shape of my life and threatening to hit my high school weight.

Having just dropped into my 60s, I'm constantly bombarded with articles on the benefits of strength training. Good news is, I now face push-ups and pull-ups without any hint of dread.

Sammy has been my trainer since 2020. We focus on functional strength training. I'm 56 and I'm as strong now as I was in my mid-30s.

His creativity keeps me coming back. I'm never bored and I'm always improving. My goal was to compete in triathlons again, 10Ks, and a HYROX competition. Conquered them all, and more to come.

Sammy has been my trainer for 8 years. He has flexibly managed my workouts from 12-hour pre-retirement days to my relatively free days now in retirement. As my goals and objectives have changed during that time, Sammy's programs for me have changed as well.

For example, during my work days, my goal was purely general fitness, as my available time for workouts was limited and fairly inconsistent as to availability. Sammy structured workouts that had an incredible amount of variability but were paced for both functional strength improvements and aerobic benefit.

Now that I am a retired 67-year-old, my objectives, flexibility and availability are very different. I have been focused on improving my functional athletic skills in regard to my renewed devotion to tennis (and golf). Sammy has completely modified the training to improve various muscle groups that are critical to improving my tennis, but he has maintained the focus and the variability that I had come to expect.

I can honestly say that I am in maybe the best shape I have been in since college. My weight is within 5 pounds of my college weight, my muscle tone is excellent for a 57-year-old, much less a 67-year-old, and my tennis game gets better every year. I attribute a lot of that improvement to Sammy's training. As you can imagine, I can't recommend him highly enough!

I have worked with various trainers daily over the last 40 years. I started working with Sammy a number of years ago, and he is simply exceptional and by far the best I have ever trained with. He has an incredible ability to:

•tailor workouts to what my body needs each day;

•optimize training for my main sport (golf);

•make the exercise programs highly creative and interesting;

•minimize the risk of injury by optimal exercise selection for my capabilities and strengths and weaknesses;

He is super positive, motivating and personable.

I would recommend Sammy in the strongest possible terms – pardon the pun!

Sammy has been more like a life coach than a trainer to me. He has helped me in the gym with strength, endurance, speed and agility, but he has also helped me outside the gym with things like nutrition and calorie intake. I'm 58 and feel way stronger and healthier than I did at 48!

I've worked with many personal trainers over my life but none as great as Sammy! We have worked together for 10 years, and no one matches his knowledge, dedication, and enthusiasm for making me stronger. Sammy always keeps me motivated, accountable, and focused while adapting training to my goals, abilities and injuries. We train half the year in person and half the year on the computer — and both are equally effective. His new online training business is a great opportunity for anyone looking for expert guidance, consistent support, and real results.

Everyone believes they know how to lift weights and get in shape. However, unless they have worked with a world-class trainer like Sammy, they are only fooling themselves. They may get some of it right, but I can speak from experience: they won’t reach what they could truly be.

If you're going to spend time in the gym working hard, doesn't it make sense to maximize your time and effort? Sammy builds you the right way—rep by rep, day by day. He pushes you to do a little more and forces you past your comfort zone. Your confidence grows, and you feel like you have achieved something meaningful after each and every workout.

Sammy knows how to maximize the results from his clients, regardless of where the client stands on the physical fitness spectrum. I have seen him work with Division 1 college athletes, and I have seen him work with clients in their 80’s who have Parkinson’s Disease. Regardless of the type of client, Sammy pushes them to get better in a way that enhances their fitness without risking their health.

Sammy builds strength, confidence, and a zest for life. Live free—and fit enough to enjoy it!
