Kenny Santucci: MTV Reality Star to Fitness Guru – Episode 252

Posted by Jason Ferruggia

If you want to learn how to build a booming fitness business, while creating a culture of community, connection and contribution, Episode 252 of the #RenegadeRadioPodcast will be a game changer.

Former MTV reality star, Kenny Santucci is my guest in this episode. Kenny is a fitness professional and owner of one of NYC’s greatest gyms, Solace New York.

A former fat kid from an unhealthy Italian family, Kenny grew tired of not feeling good about himself so he decided to change his body and life. Inspired by the physiques of wrestling superstars and action film heroes of the 80’s, he began training with weights and quickly fell in love with fitness. Realizing how much better he felt about his self, and seeing and feeling how differently he was treated by others, sparked his passion for helping other people experience the same changes in their lives.

To speed up your learning curve, and potentially save yourself years of frustration, don’t miss this episode.
