Jack Mortellaro - Getting In Shape

Jack Mortellaro is a construction professional. He started Diamond Condition Properties when he was twenty years old and has been running it ever since. He also works as a leadman in the Film and TV industry.
“I was going to be a physical therapist,” he says today, thinking back to the year’s right after he completed his education. “I then got certified as a personal trainer from AFTA. I did it on the side for a few years.”
AFTA is the American Fitness Training of Athletics. Its Fitness Director, Chad Barnhart, says that the value of personal trainers is that the provide guidance to people who are serious about getting in shape and in living a healthy lifestyle. “The problems are that the industry only has one trainer to every ten thousand people who desperately need the guidance,” he says.

Jack Mortellaro is, in many ways, a model of the type of person who becomes a personal trainer. He has a passion for being fit and healthy, and for leading an active life. A personal trainer, by definition, has the knowledge and skills needed for designing safe and effective exercise and fitness programs for clients. A typical personal trainer has knowledge in many areas, including human anatomy, exercise science, and basic nutrition. He or she also has the ability to assess potential clients before they begin any training regimen, and as that regimen progresses.

The 3 most important things are sleep, nutrition and exercise (mind and body). He says you have to be careful what you put into your body. It should be clean and free of pesticides and metals. You have to sleep enough hours for your body to recharge its batteries and heal. You also have to exercise your mind as well as your body. You can’t do one without the other.

Jack Mortellaro enjoys working with others. Even though his career path took him in a different direction, he has been able to apply that enjoyment others to his work. “I try to be the best I can be at everything.”
