Client Success Story: Vinny’s 10-Week Transformation
Vinny came to Lionheart Fitness with a clear goal, to lean out and look his best before starting his senior year of college. Coach José designed an evidence-based fitness program combining a customized nutrition plan, targeted cardio, and structured strength training.
By following the plan with consistency and focus, Vinny achieved incredible results in just 10 weeks:
Bench press increased by over 70 pounds
Went from 0 to 3 full pull-ups
Dropped from 189 lbs to 173.5 lbs
Trained with purpose every single week
This is the power of evidence-based personal training. No gimmicks, no guesswork, just smart programming, proven methods, and commitment.
