About Me

WWW.ANDYSZIRAKI.COM
Personal Trainer and Performance Coach!
B.S.Ed. in Kinesiology, NSCA - CSCS, CPR/AED
Hello viewer, my name is Andy Sziraki. I was born and raised in the great town of Sylvania, Ohio. I now live in the beautiful city of Boca Raton, FL, where I am a performance strength and conditioning coach to many professional, college, and junior athletes, and a personal fitness professional to my personal training clients at the Institute of Human Performance. I hold a Bachelors Degree in Exercise Science and the well-respected NSCA-CSCS certification.I guess you could say when my father had me doing pushups with him as a baby something was destined to become of it. I began my love for fitness when I was 14. At 115lbs and 5’6” I was undersized compared to the guys I was going up against in football. I then found my dads high school yearbook and saw his massive build and wanted to achieve the same. So this is where I made a change in my life and began working out. I researched how to build muscle effectively and even consulted with some strength and conditioning coaches, but for the most part I taught myself most of what I know. I dedicated 5-6 days a week to working out and staying fit and by the time I was 18, I weighed 190lbs and stood 6’2”.Exercise and strength training became my area of study in college because I never grew tiered of researching new exercise modalities and technologies. Throughout college I always looked forward to working out, and my physical appearance became my marketing tool, without me knowing! Soon I ended up in NYC fitness modeling in the summers between college semesters. This also prompted others to ask me for workout advice, which made me realize how influential I had, and could possibly become. When I finished my Exercise Science degree at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, I was offered a position as a Performance Coach with the elite staff of trainers at the Institute of Human Performance in Boca Raton, where I had completed my second internship. The first thing I wanted out of college was a job so I took it and soon knew it was the place for me, at least for now.
My athlete clientele started with Jeff Monson – Heavyweight UFC contender, Abu-Dhabi Grappling Champion. Pablo Popovitch is a Jiu-Jitsu champion that I also had the pleasure of training. I then took on Florida Atlantic University’s strength and conditioning for cross country, track, volleyball and men’s basketball. As my reputation grew I took on training NFL players, Mike Flynn – Baltimore Ravens, and Lionel Dalton – free agent from the Houston Texans. Next the tennis marker struck where I took on training Chris Kwon, and up and coming juniors Jason Barry, Neil Clausen and Marika Ackermann.
Aside from the big names, I have about 30-40 personal training hours per week with my general population clients that just want to LOOK GREAT NAKED. That explains just what they, and most every other inquiring person wants from a personal trainer. It’s the demand for the chiseled abs and the disgust for the fat bellies that fuel the fitness market! Now using this website I can reach out to many other people across the world!

Heroes:

Family! My name is Andy Sziraki, (www.myspace.com/z87)
I am a personal trainer and performance coach in Boca Raton Florida, and an Online: Fitness, Lifestyle and Personal Training Coach to everyone!
I am certified through the NSCA - CSCS, CPR/AED, and have a Bachelors degree in Exercise Science and Education. Now that you know my credentials:
Everyone that comes to a personal trainer for help usually wants the same thing... to LOOK GREAT NAKED! Contact me if you have any questions regarding training, I am a personal trainer in Boca Raton FL, however I do online consulting for individuals all over the world!!! Do you need someone to give you a workout every day, week, or month? or maybe you have a great workout program and just need some nutritional guidance and information on supplements? I deal with all of these issues with my clients in Florida everyday. Now you can pick my brain and get the help you need from anywhere in the world!
Still not convinced? Currently at a gym? Already have a trainer? Well lets teach you about the job title of "PERSONAL TRAINER"
I hate calling myself one because it lumps me into the same catagory as those LA Fitness, NYSC, Golds, World, Powerhouse personal trainers. All you need to train there is a 1 week online certification and a car salesmans chip on your shoulder BLAHH makes me sick! But i suppose when we live in a world of mediocrity that can fly... *Sigh* :( At the Institute of Human Performance all trainers including myself are required to have a 4year degree in exercise science, the HIGHEST and HARDEST level of certification (NSCA - CSCS) and over 1000 hours of intern experience! Now you know why I hate, yes hate, my job title of personal trainer! So if you are serious about wanting to look great naked, trim the fat, put on the muscle stop wasting your time at these "social clubs" called gyms and come get REAL RESULTS NOW!! Trainers even come to us and spend thousands of $$$$$$ to learn from us!
Think you don't have the time?!?!
There are 168 hours in a week, my personal training clients give me 3 of those hours and are seeing RESULTS FAST!! SO CAN YOU!
Whether your goal is weight loss, muscle gain, or sport performance! I train EVERYONE:
from the elite athletes:
to the models..
to the hercules of High School Football
to the mother of 4 who wants ripped abs...
to the 88 year old weekend warriors who are making the latest years of their lives the best years of their lives!:
Now it’s your turn!
STOP WAITING, ACT NOW!!!
remember, it's your body, your health and your looks!
MESSAGE ME FOR DETAILS!!!!
