ROSEANNE TRAPASSO

GYMGUYZ OWNER

GYMGUYZ Central New Jersey is Owned by Roseanne Trapasso, a former Fashion Industry Executive.  Growing up with an active household, Roseanne has been a dancer since the age of two and continues to stay active as a mother to two boys. To commemorate the 10 year anniversary of her father passing from cancer, Roseanne decided to start a GYMGUYZ business to help the communities within Central New Jersey stay active and motivated towards maintaining a healthy lifestyle. “As a mother, I know how hard it can be to stay active and find the time and motivation to exercise,” says Roseanne. “I want to offer my community an opportunity to stay active and healthy with individualized workouts from the comfort of home.”

Reason Why You Became a Personal Trainer :

I had my first son right before Covid-19 and gyms and the world as we knew it shut down.  I found it so hard to find the motivation and time to exercise especially when gyms didn’t bring back childcare after Covid.  Fast forward to the birth of my second son, I vowed to take care of myself first and hired an in-home personal trainer. Having had the service firsthand, I know that it works and believe in the product. I felt the best version of myself not only physically but mentally, which inspired me to become a Certified Personal Trainer.  Specializing in Women’s Fitness has given me the knowledge and skills necessary to cater to the unique physiological and fitness needs of women of all ages and abilities.

Fitness Interests & Hobbies : 

Pilates, dancing, fashion, and staying active with my two young sons

Reason Why You Became a Personal Trainer :

When I first began noticing that I was overweight, I was totally lost and confused as to how I let myself go and how I would start my journey of getting rid of my unwanted weight. I wanted nothing to do with a gym but decided that I had no choice if I wanted to live and actively be involved with coaching my sons’ sports. After I surprised myself by accomplishing what I thought was the impossible, I decided to become a certified personal trainer myself. I wanted my friends, family, and the entire community to experience the “great feeling of reaching your weight loss goals by working out and eating healthy.” I am excited and ready when you are! Remember “HEALTH IS WEALTH”

At a young age I was bullied as a kid. I started going to the gym not long after that. My goal was to put on muscle and get stronger, little did I know exercise would have such a great impact on my life. Not only was I seeing results but, my mood was elevated and I had something that I looked forward to doing each day. I want to help people incorporate fitness into their daily lives, so they also can feel that great feeling no matter the reason.

Reason Why You Became a Personal Trainer :

My reason for becoming a personal trainer stems from a deep passion for fitness and a desire to help others achieve their health and fitness goals. From a young age being in an active household, playing baseball growing up and at the age of 14 stepping into the gym for the first time. I have never looked back, fascinated by how the human body works and the transformative power of exercise. I want to display my knowledge, passion and drive for overall health and wellness to provide clients with personalized fitness plans that cater to their unique needs and abilities so they can find their strength. I aspire to motivate and inspire others to lead healthier lifestyles, not just through physical training but also by educating them on the importance of nutrition and overall well-being.

Reason Why You Became a Personal Trainer :

I became a personal trainer to help spread happiness and joy through exercise and nutrition.  About a year ago, I was diagnosed with MS.  With my passion for fitness and nutrition, I turned what some may say is a disability and weakness into a newfound strength.  I learned how important nutrition and exercise can be with someone living with a disability.  Yoga in particular aides wonders to the nervous system.  I hope to create a better life for you in the long haul and help you feel confident in your own skin!

Fitness Interests & Hobbies :

Reason Why You Became a Personal Trainer :

My fitness journey began at the ripe age of five and I chose to continue immersing myself in sports all the way through to College. I participated in a plethora of sports consisting of soccer, softball, competitive/Allstar cheerleading, gymnastics, swim, and volleyball. At 19 years old I continued my fitness career as a sports coach working with athletes ages ranging from ages three to eighteen.

I began training clients interested in body recomposition/bodybuilding. I then extended my experience by working with RWJ’s fitness and wellness program where I work with all age groups including elderly patients with various special needs and disabilities, pre/post natal, and obesity. To enhance my personal training knowledge, I am currently majoring in Biology with a Concentration in Anatomy & Physiology.  With this knowledge I am able to better assist my clients with the physiology and science behind why certain exercises are crucial to living a healthier life. I am grateful to be able to travel all over the Eastern coast sharing my education and love for fitness!

I have 10+ years of experience as a trainer, I am ISSA certified and especially like working with children and the elderly. I have always been an active person, even as a kid.

Reason Why You Became a Personal Trainer :

My passion for competitive distance running ignited my interest in learning the science behind muscle strength and endurance, through time shifting to hypertrophy training and then functional longevity training. This led me to my NFPT Certification and a satisfied client base with GYMGUYZ. 

I believe fitness can be subjective and is different for everyone. So I’ve trained younger athletes with sports-related goals or to put on muscle; and adults who want to lose weight or increase their mobility and ease of living. 

My goal is for all my clients to enjoy the activities they love with confidence and pain-free.

Fitness Interests & Hobbies : 

Resistance Training, Calisthenics, Running, Cycling. I enjoy reading, music, art, and spirituality

Reason Why You Became a Personal Trainer :

I have always loved being active, but once Covid came around I started to binge eat to the point where I gained 30 pounds. I no longer recognized myself in the mirror so I decided to turn my life back around to feel like myself again. With the help of my wonderful sister who trained me, I have lost the 30 pounds successfully and have kept it off! I now want to help others on their own fitness and health journeys because I have first hand experience, knowing what it’s like to want more for yourself and to not only want to reach your goals but to achieve it!

Reason Why You Became a Personal Trainer :

My weight loss journey began years ago when I was in high school. I was always trying the latest diets and tricks, but nothing seemed to work. When I turned 16, I joined the local gym and began to weight train. That changed the game for me. Not only did I lose weight, but I also began to build muscle and feel so much better about myself. Over the years, my passion for fitness grew and I realized that I wanted to help others to achieve their goals. I love working with people at all fitness levels, and I love when I can show someone just how much fun it is to work out. Exercise does not have to be something to dread; it can become the best part of the day!

Reason Why You Became a Personal Trainer :

My fitness journey began back in college. I didn’t like what I saw in the mirror and I was struggling socially, so I turned to the gym as a way to build both confidence and connection. After finding my passion for fitness during my first year of college, I made the decision to switch majors and pursue a career in the field. I truly realized just how much I enjoyed what I do when studying and school as a whole no longer felt like a chore, but, was something I began to look forward to. These past few years I have been able to help others reach their goals while living happier, healthier, and longer lives.
