Pressure and Purpose Were My Fuel | How Fitness Shaped Kenny Santucci's Success


Listen Later

Hitting rock bottom. Struggling with self-image. Battling against emotional triggers.


These are some of the challenges Kenny Santucci faced head-on as he metamorphosized from an insecure teenager into a successful trainer and gym owner.


Still, conquering the accountability and self-discipline that rescued him from the darkest places wasn't a straightforward path. It was a bumpy road, full of traumatic experiences— like being body-shamed by a teacher in his teen years and contemplating ending it all after being jobless, unable to train, and suffering a painful breakup. Instead of giving up, Kenny used these setbacks as a catalyst for change, relying on daily habits and consistency as the building blocks of his success.


Kenny is one of New York's top trainers and a thought leader in the fitness industry. He is a brand ambassador for Michelob and Fitaid, and collaborated with Reebok, Under Armour, and Adidas. He also owns NYC's biggest health, fitness, and wellness expo, STRONG New York, and is dedicated to raising awareness and funds for health issues.


“I put everyone else's success ahead of my own, which will eventually make me successful.”


Today, Ginni sits down with Kenny Santucci to discuss how early struggles with body image and self-esteem pushed him to turn fitness into a lifestyle, not just a profession. They also talk about using physical transformation as a gateway to emotional growth, how accumulating small wins pays off in the long run, the misconceptions created by social media on body image and health, and more.
