Desire + Hard Work = Achievement!

Keith RissoloHello, my name is Keith Rissolo, and if it's okay I'd like to say alittle about how I set what I thought were unattainable goals and achieved them naturally...

 

I started lifting weights in Norwalk, Connecticut at the age of 13, in 1971. I was the stereotypical skinny teenager trying to gain size and strength for sports.

 

I remained persistent in my training over the years, and though I sometimes was told "...you'll never make it..." I never gave up on my goal to be the best I could be at what I wanted to do.

 

By 1978, I was competitive in the sport of bodybuilding, and continued to train and compete through the years until 1994, when I decided to take a layoff from competing.

 

In 2004, I decided to compete again, and after a 10-year layoff, and at the age of 46, I won my class at the 2004 Tri-Cities Regional in Virginia.

 

This past July, I won the Overall Masters Class at the 2005 NPA Natural USA Body Building Championships and earned my Professional Status at age 47.

 

If you have the desire to improve your body, and don't ever give up, you can achieve great things. I know what it's like to be average. I you want to improve your individual sport, tone up different areas of your body or just put on muscle, then I can help you reach your goals through weight training. I did it, and you can do it, too!

 

Come in and sometime and let me train you here at the Triangle SportsPlex.
