Jim Potts I Head of Sport, King's College
"I have been using Angelo for the past 6 months to add to the Strength and Conditioning programme at King’s College. He has an excellent working knowledge and expertise across a wide range of sporting disciplines. Angelo specialises in Speed and agility and his results with some of our athletes have been impressive. He has an excellent rapport with the students and is able to work them hard whilst still maintaining a sense of fun and enjoyment in the sessions. I highly recommend him as a trainer." |
Peter Langsford | Director Saint Kentigern College Sports Academy, Director Specific Sports
"Angelo has worked with the Saint Kentigern College Tennis Academy players over the last year . His expert knowledge coupled with his enthusiasm has seen these players speed , explosiveness and motivation to improve their conditioning improve immensely. Angelo has an immense work ethic and passion and is able to transfer this easily onto the athlete resulting in increased performance. Some of these players are the best young players in New Zealand and to have Angelo with his international background in high performance training work with them and impart his expertise and knowledge has added a new dimension to our programme. If you are serious on improving your athletes performance I would recommend Angelo every time." |
Chuni Bhikha | Hockey Coach" My son's results were impressive. He was a Wellington Hockey U 13 representative player and his group sessions with Angelo over 8- 10 weeks saw his overall fitness improve but in particular, I observed a significant improvement in his agility and speed over short distances. This enabled him to put in an impressive effort at his week long National Tournament."

Tony Smiller | NZ Hockey (Master Player)"Angelo’s training programme was strategic and our focus was to maintain fitness and ensure I reached a peak while playing at the tournaments. Angelo increased the intensity and frequency of trainings leading up to tournaments; sessions are always different, interesting and challenging. Although Angelo doesn’t play hockey himself, I could see he understood the mechanics of the body and was able to adapt training sessions so that they would complement my sport. I enjoyed all my training sessions; Angelo challenged me, tested my physical boundaries and instilled confidence in myself." Dec, 2009

Jennifer Manown | Client (USA)
" I met Angelo in 2008 when I was looking for a personal conditioner to challenge my old routine in Wellington, and I am so glad I worked with him. Angelo’s workouts are based on circuits and variety, and they increased my stamina, strength and most of all, coordination. His training style gave me the confidence to try new activities and classes that I would have been nervous about before! In addition to regular workouts, he taught me Capoeira, then kept improving my technique after I joined a group class. After moving back to the US a few months ago I am still using Angelo’s workout plans because they are so good. If you are looking for a new style of training that will give you a higher level of functional fitness and agility, I highly recommend Angelo. I worked with him in three Wellington gyms and he is also willing to train outdoors". Jen Manown, Washington USA, Oct 2010
Carl Hammington | Senior Personal Trainer (City Fitness, Wellington)
"I am a senior trainer at City-fitness gym (Old Bodyworks, Wellington), having worked there for over seven years and director of Health & Fitness Dynamics ltd. I have had the privilege of working along side Angelo for the past two years. When he arrived at Bodyworks he instantly made an impact, with his great positive attitude and incredible energy. He also brought with him knowledge and wisdom, having sound technical knowledge and experience in specialised athlete training." Jun, 2010
Adrian Gaskin | Personal Trainer
"From Ginastica Natural or Capoeira to sports specific based sessions (basketball in my instance) he can support his training style with great explanations as to why we are doing a particular exercise. His training style is also incredibly enjoyable as he incorporates a lot of functional exercise with loads of equipment (ladders, cones, bands, etc) and he seems to be an encyclopedia of circuits - never have I seen so many new exercises and worked so hard as I have with Angelo."

Luis Carvalho | Elite Personal Trainer (Les Mills, Wellington)
" Angelo and I worked together for the duration of two years. In the time that I have known Angelo he has been an outstanding and successful Personal Trainer. Angelo offered Sports Specific Training, Capoeira and Brazilian Natural Gymnastics. He was known as one of the fastest and most agile Personal Trainers at the gym in his tenure. He brought alot of passion and knowledge to his work and this showed in his ability in dealing with his clients, other members of the gym and his work colleagues."
