Brian Venturino

Born and raised in Huntington, Long Island, I grew up outdoors. I played baseball, basketball and various childhood activities with my younger brothers. I would do my best to stay active as much as possible, from dusk till dawn. As i grew older, i left the house to live in Brooklyn. Working blue collar life for 8 years had its physical activity on the daily but I stayed committed in the gym after work. Over time, I built a great group of friends in the fitness community that became my mentors. I learned a vast amount of ways to hit all types of goals. From breath-work to yoga to mobility to strength training, I felt confident to purchase an ISSA Fitness Certification.

I moved to Austin, Texas, in 2019, in search for a career in fitness and a better lifestyle under the sun. Fortunately one of my Mentors was a Fitness Manager for Equinox, so his referral for me had me grateful. Though I trained at Golds Gym from the get-go, i worked both gyms in my schedule, meeting all demographics and new friends. I found this very beneficial, getting my feet wet in the industry and building my experience, 2X faster.

During the Covid Pandemic, I was outdoors, like I was as a kid. With this opportunity, i never felt better. Working with bands and kettlebells, I was training and playing around with new ideas for outdoor fitness. I had made a big enough appearance at the park to where I acquired clients that were originally watching from afar. These clients are met weekly in that exact spot under the sun, grounding and teaching them everything i can so that they can grow as an individual.
