Let me introduce myself; my name is Joe Garrone. Brooklyn, New York is where I spent my young years. I’m proud to say that a full year after Bad Ass Academy started, I was hired as a full-part-time instructor and have since become a member of the team/family there. It’s permitted me to fulfill my lifelong dream of torturing people, one classroom at a time. LOL. In my early years, I gained a keen interest in physical activity. Sports like football, baseball, and ice hockey were staples of my childhood. Until this day, hockey remains one of my favorite sports to both play and coach.
I’ve always been a fierce competitor, wanting to excel at any endeavor I do. Having reached adulthood, I decided to pursue personal training as a career. After obtaining so much support from coaches and trainers, I felt compelled to give back in a similar fashion. I immediately became enamored with personal training after beginning. That’s a great feeling, being able to help someone out.
To see another successful reader is the pinnacle of human satisfaction. Whether it’s for a special occasion like a wedding or a trip, or for something more mundane like their health. I’ve always had a thing for sports, so it only seemed sense that I get into coaching Ice Hockey at the high school and travel levels as I continued to develop my own fitness and training regimen. Currently, I manage the strength and conditioning of a Coney Island-based ice hockey travel team as a coach. I am a full-time operating engineer in New York City, and when I’m not working out (which is quite infrequent), I’m at work.
