“I have nothing but good remarks about Ray as a fitness and nutritional trainer. He was my personal trainer at Bally’s a few years ago when I wanted to lose a few pounds and to my luck I got more than I bargained for. When I met him he told me that he uses a holistic method of training; I had no idea what that meant so he explained that he trains the mind, body and spirit. Even though that was not what I signed up for I thought this was a good idea and decided to give it a try.

Over the course of one month, I learned how important it is to maintain mental and spiritual health; not just physical. He taught me how to meditate in order to gain self-awareness and a good perspective on my life. Through this I became a happier individual and was able to better find myself (this was a cool discovery). The greatest lesson for me was the nutritional value; I became aware of healthy food products including organic and raw foods. What we put into our bodies is most important as our bodies are temples and should be treated as such. Ray opened my eyes to raw foods such as raw sheep milk cheese (I thought this was really weird at first and so does everyone else) but it actually tastes really good. He explained why raw foods are most nutritional.

Overall, I consider Ray to be an extremely knowledgeable individual when it comes to nutrition, physical and mental health. He opened my eyes to what really good food is and made me realize that not all foods are created equal. He is also a great physical trainer and motivator. I am really glad I met him.”

“Wow man it was amazing. I just went to the chalet which is in front of our beautiful beach and I spent 2 amazing weeks with no crap around me.
No friends, no family, no training, only me and my 20 year old nephew.
I applied some of the things Ray told me to do from one phone session; I detoxed my body and I tried to make it all raw food. I did swimming, lots of push ups, sit ups and pull ups and guess what? I’ve got small wings :) ) Yeey I’m so happy.

And aaahhh I did lose 4 kilos, what I didn’t want to lose but it just happened. My stomach is so strong that you can kick it and it’s solid! My guns are growing and my back muscles are growing too.”

“Ray came to be my trainer/mentor as a referral from a friend. Immediately I knew he was different from others I had worked with. He listened and learned who I was and where I want to go. Ray worked with my mind and my body. He is a positive energy source and Ray moved me towards my goals.”

“I have been training with Ray for over two months now.  It is a complete workout without using tons of gym equipment. From chi gong to kettlebell, we strengthen and lengthen my muscles. He is very patient, motivating and encourages proper technique in doing simple movements.  The results have been instant, I have increased my endurance, strength and overall health!”

Hi Ray:
When you and I first talked, you made me aware that yes, I had lost 140 pounds before and know what I did to lose that, however; after we spoke you made me more aware of how I was eating, and what was best for my body.  Writing a log and completing the forms, really does make you become aware of habits you have acquired and that I was assuming I was eating “healthy” when I wasn’t.

Thanks,
Renee

“My first impression of Ray is of a man who is very professional and good at what he does. He certainly knows how to approach each individual at his own level and suggest the right kind of treatment. Ray works with the top herbs and vitamins. Very powerful treatment that will lead to inevitable healing. Strongly recommend his services to anyone who truly wants to regenerate his body, mind and spirit.”

“Where do I begin? I needed a change in my eating, exercising and spirit; a new look kind of feeling. As with all things in my life, Ray, or as I call him Doc came at the RIGHT time. After having my consultation, his motivation and insight were the changes I needed. I never worked with a Holistc Nutritionist, and had a lot of unknown questions; but I was thinking, Ok I’ll feel better, lose some weight, and jump start my metabolism. Well I was wrong. The changes we made were from feeling tired, hungry, no energy and most of all no spirit; to feeling healthy, relaxed, enjoying yoga, and breathing in a very short period of time.
Ray inspired me so much in the beginning. I had trouble looking in a full-length mirror. Four weeks later I looked in the mirror by accident and didn’t realize it until afterwards. It started. Ray’s insight into nutrition, herbs, vitamins and raw food helped me understand what they do. He was the best cheerleader. He made me understand how I needed to cheer for myself everyday. When my phone appointments were here, I couldn’t wait to talk with Ray to tell him how great I was doing. His positive “Yes’s” he would say made me feel like I can do this. He helped me lower my blood elevated levels. Testosterone, progesterone, estrogen, thyroid, vitamin D and liver enzymes all balanced out. Doctors were so amazed at my 20 lb weight loss and my lower blood levels dropping in such a short period of time. I also had golfer’s elbow with so much pain that I had a Dr.’s appointment for surgery. Ray suggested a few things and my pain level dropped… I had to cancel my appointment. My pain level is now a 0-1 on a scale of 1-10.

Recently I took a Christmas cruise and they had a breast cancer 5k walk. Immediately I said, ‘Oh I’m going to do that!’ As I started the walk and saw the signs say 9 laps to go, I thought, Ohhhh 9 laps??? I could hear Ray from my phone conferences coaching me saying, ‘You can do this’,  and I DID! Never before have I walked for a great cause. I now feel with my successful weight loss and well-being, that I can go on from here.  I’m here to tell you Ray’s knowledge in <strong>every</strong> area, inspiring my spirit and motivation is soo amazing. I would recommend him to ANYONE for ANYTHING YOU want to accomplish. If you’re reading this, it means you are considering working with Ray. As one company says, “JUST DO IT!”

What I take away from this incredible experience with Ray is that I don’t doubt myself anymore. I know what to eat and why. I’m in touch with food and me. My spirit is back! At almost 50, I’m going to party like I’m 25! And I feel it too! I take away with me a friendship, spirit guide and a Great individual. I’m so glad you chose to help, motivate and inspire me. You’re truly an Amazing person. God bless you everyday and in everyone you touch. You my friend are a great warrior.”

“I have depended on Ray Florio for nutritional and other advice while fighting my cancer.  I did chemo along with making drastic food changes. After 4 weeks my tumor activity was down from an 11 to a 4. In 2 1/2 months my last test came back as showing no cancer to be found. Ray has a wealth of knowledge and experience in his field coupled with genuine compassion and concern for those he is counseling.”

“This is the best workout I’ve ever done!”

“Having the opportunity to work with Ray Florio, I can say that he is by far the greatest personal trainer I’ve ever encountered. His goal is to not only get you to where you wanna be physically but more importantly, he focuses on the mind, body and soul.
He really understands and cares about what your specific needs are and customizes a plan to fit into your lifestyle. His motivational talks are inspirational and he believes in you even on days when you don’t even believe in yourself.
He was generous enough to send me a bottle of Bioprin. It helped me with everything from minor aches and pains to severe menstrual cramps and headaches. It has been a great substitute for pain killers such as Tylenol and Advil. I would definitely recommend everyone to try it as a safe and natural pain killer alternative. I just wanted to say thank you Ray, it was a pleasure to work with you and I will definitely be recommending your services to everyone I know.”
