JOE BARBAGALLO

Joe's training career began 12 years ago. He trained Army recruits and veterans to pass the physical fitness test (APFT). He later developed a passion for Martial Arts. Eight years ago he decided to integrate his love for training and Mixed Martial Arts by training beginner and up-and-coming fighters to improve their endurance, agility and strength in and outside of the ring.

Within the last two years in recognizing a need for a results-driven training program, Joe has expanded his training to a broader population including everyday individuals and has made major improvements with their daily lives – whether it is to lose the extra twenty pounds they have gained, gaining strength, or fixing imbalances to improve daily activities. Joe has found this work to be extremely rewarding.

Joe was born in New Britain, Connecticut. Joe holds certifications from the National Strength and Conditioning Association and American Council on Exercise and has his B.A. in Psychology from Central Connecticut State University.
