ABOUT Gennaro
'TRAINER OF TRAINERS'
MEET GENNARO
Gennaro first started competing in bodybuilding in 1986 as a teenager and still competes now in his mid 50's. He is known as ʻTrainer to the Trainersʼ having mentored and coached many successful fitness professionals.
He was born in Naples Italy and moved to Melbourne, Australia with his family when he was 9 months old. His father Mario Ferra is a master chef and cooked and taught all over the world. Gennaroʼs skills as a personal chef and nutritional consultant were further enhanced through his fatherʼs mentorship.
Gennaro moved to NYC in 1997, after an editor of a fitness magazine invited him to compete in a series of natural bodybuilding competitions for the WNBF and now he has dual Australian and American citizenship.

tesimonials
“People noticed the results almost immediately and commented on how effective my training program was. Gennaro was always conscientious about spending the full time with me and was very focused on me and my goals.”
— Phil Koeber
“The results were so good and the sessions so worthwhile and enjoyable. Gennaro is totally focused on me as the client when I am working out with him. He pays careful attention to every single repetition and instinctively knows how I am coping and how far to push me during workouts to get maximum benefit without over training or causing injury. Gennaro is a consummate professional, and is reliable, punctual and flexible with his schedule, which is what I need as I have a demanding job with long hours. His knowledge of fitness, both from the nutrition and exercise angle, is top of his field and I believe he is one of the best trainers in NYC.”
— Patrick O'Donnell
