As a kid growing up in Bay Shore, my family and I lived in a small house. When I was 15 years old I transformed one of the bedrooms in my house into a gym.
On My 15th birthday, my sister bought me a weight set. Then one week later around Christmas, I used my Christmas money to buy a bench to go with it. And the rest is history! I still remember playing “ROCKY”music and hearing my mother screaming at me because it was so loud! I still listen to my “Rocky”CD today, and feel right at home playing it nice and loud!
In 2015, I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and since then my life has been a tremendous challenge day to day. I cant help but wonder how I could have possibly gotten such a horrific disease since I took such great care of myself, but I believe God has a purpose for all of us. We must trust in him to lead the path for our lives.
Today I help inspire people around the world the through my website www.tonycatanzaro.com. I offer everything from t-shirts to motivational books. My goal in life still remains as it always did and that is to change peoples lives for the better through a strong mind and body.
I am available for interviews, TV appearances photo shoots etc.
