When training and nutrition are not enough to grow.
Who I am
Marco Ansaloni
Born in 1974, with a technical educational background, I have cultivated my passion for sport since the age of eight. Over the years, my athletic path led me from basketball to track and field, from swimming to water polo, and then to martial arts. Since the 1990s, bodybuilding has accompanied this journey, followed later by running and a ten-year commitment to triathlon.
My passion for bodybuilding has always been strong, even though I only took part in competitions in recent years.
My most significant achievements to date include:
🏆 Italian Champion NBFI, Men’s Physique Over 40 category
🏆 European Champion INBA, Men’s Physique Over 40 category
From an educational and professional standpoint, my studies across various disciplines enabled me to obtain several qualifications, including: FIN Level 2 Swimming Instructor, FIN Lifesaving Instructor, FITRI Triathlon Instructor, AIF Level 1 Powerlifting Instructor, SBB Competitive Bodybuilding Coach, and SBB Body Recomposition Expert.
Why did I decide to do this job? Empathy: I was like that too.
I began practicing bodybuilding in the 1990s, and looking back, I can consider myself a survivor. At that time, there was very little science and a great deal of experience—but unfortunately, this knowledge was often passed on in an approximate way, either by the gym owner or by the “big guy” in the gym. As a result, the information that reached us most of the time had the same effectiveness as the words that reach the last person in line in a game of telephone.
I wore myself down, got injured, and tried extreme diets that caused more episodes of impulsive hunger than miraculous results. All of this happened because there was a strong desire to improve, but very little CULTURE.
When someone comes to me today in desperation because they are not achieving results, I find myself catapulted 30 years back in time. Within me, that youthful rebellion—never truly extinguished—is reignited, pushing me to give 100% to find a solution, so that no one has to experience that sense of frustration I know all too well: making a thousand attempts and achieving very little.

How many times have you signed up for a membership and then got tired of going after just three visits?
The context
What you can do
💢 How many times have the people around you been a source of distraction—unwanted looks, smells, and chatter that bothered you?
đź’˘ How many times did your training program feel like a generic one-size-fits-all plan, failing to meet your specific needs, with no real possibility of adjusting it over time based on how you felt?
đź’˘ How many times was focusing on training alone not enough, without also giving a clear and structured direction to your nutrition plan?
This is why spending less sometimes leads to poorer results, and this is why training in the right place—under the guidance of a professional who provides a program tailored specifically to you—is the path to achieving real results.
✨ There are many beautiful fitness centers out there, but they often cannot truly meet your real needs. At Garage, you will find an environment dedicated exclusively to you, where you can follow a specific program designed to help you achieve your goals.
We give you the opportunity to train in a private gym, with a program tailored to you down to the smallest detail—both in terms of training periodization and the supporting nutrition plan. We guide you through the exercises, offering a level of quality that is far removed from the standard approach of conventional fitness centers.
Your dedicated coach will be able to educate and guide you throughout your transformation journey, enabling you to train with full autonomy and maximum effectiveness, following a clearly defined program in a space reserved exclusively for you.
💥 You can keep asking yourself why you are not seeing results, experimenting with uncertain ideas, trying multiple sports disciplines and improvised diets without achieving anything—continuing as you have so far, believing that cover-model physiques are reserved for a few chosen ones, gifted by Mother Nature or the result of who-knows-what supplements or endless hours in the gym.
💥 You can keep going to the gym and following your own routines. You will certainly sweat and work hard, but that does not necessarily mean you are transforming your body. Gyms are full of people who look exactly the same after ten years… because doing bodybuilding is one thing, while simply moving weights is another—just as being in the water is not the same as knowing how to swim.
Learning a sport takes time, and you need someone who can teach you the right way: repetition after repetition, every movement performed correctly, with the proper loads, frequency, and intensity. Only consistency will be rewarded and lead to results; otherwise, you will simply continue paying for a fitness center without achieving real change.

Transformation
Goodbye to
instead, you…
❌ Envying others for the physique they have
❌ Feeling discouraged by the few results you achieve despite the time you struggle to set aside for training and the money you spend
❌ Following diets that are not detailed or tailored to your specific situation, forcing you to eat less and less—feeling hungry, yet seeing in the mirror only a thinner version of yourself, still with the same stubborn belly
❌ Gyms crowded with people queuing for the free machine (often occupied by someone doing nothing but leaving a towel on it for half an hour), chaos, and constant distractions
❌ Pre-packaged, photocopied programs pulled from a drawer—programs that everyone has, but that are not right for you: roughly thought out plans that can only ever lead to approximate results
✅ You will become an example—people who see you will want to be like you and will ask how you achieved it
âś… You will make every workout effective, truly feeling each exercise, targeting the intended muscle and watching it become toned and high-performing week after week
âś… You will eat better and in a more structured way, with a plan that evolves over time based on your results, knowing that what you are doing will finally give you the physique in the mirror that you have never seen before
✅ You will have your own private gym, with the music you like, maximum focus, and equipment always available—where you can manage supersets or jump sets without compromise
âś… You will have a dedicated program explained step by step by your personal trainer, who will progressively remove every doubt and, above all, design it specifically for you after a thorough analysis of your physical condition
case Study
The case of Sara
Sara began her transformation journey with Aquafitness classes. We met at the swimming pool, and she never would have imagined that weights and a well-structured nutrition plan—without excessive sacrifices—could transform her. Yet that is exactly what happened.
Through weight training, a logical and programmed approach to eating, and a great deal of dedication, she became a different person. And as she herself says: “I changed on the inside first—my mindset—and the outside was a consequence.”
The case of Alan
He came to us in September 2021. He was eating very little and had never seen himself “lean,” despite continuous calorie cuts. He told us that he had always trained in the gym, but had never achieved the physique he wanted.
He started following our nutrition plan, which progressively led him to eat up to 1,000 kcal more per day, alongside our training approach… and already by the second session he said: “Guys, until today I actually had no idea how to train” (his words).
The case of Armin
Armin weighed 108 kg—he had a strong desire to take action and change, but he didn’t know how. He came to us with hope and trust. Through targeted training, weekly check-ins, and a journey in which he always felt supported and guided, his expectations were met.
Were the results real? We don’t say it—his 20 kg weight loss does: all from fat mass, while maintaining his muscle mass… and the progress keeps getting better.
Objections
Comparison
Who is this for?
It costs too much:
âť“ How much has it cost you so far not to achieve the results you wanted by purchasing fitness memberships?
What truly matters is investing the right amount of money, with the awareness that—with the right motivation and consistency—results are a certainty.
I’ve already taken a similar course:
Our winning strength lies in the right combination of having a personal trainer who identifies and analyzes your situation and, based on that, creates the correct path to reach your goal—together with the opportunity to train in a protected environment where you will learn how to train with the right effectiveness in order to achieve the results you expect.
❗ The courses I’ve taken have never worked.
It’s not enough to have a personal trainer.
It’s not enough to have a customized training program.
It’s not enough to have a private place to train—because one key ingredient is still missing…
👂 At Garage, it is essential that all of the above are supported by the foundations of an empathetic relationship based on active listening and trust with the client. This is what allows you to experience an engaging and motivating journey—essential elements for achieving your goal.
✅ Beginners who don’t know where to start
âś… People who want to train in a protected environment
âś… People who want a reliable point of reference
✅ People who don’t want to feel abandoned
âś… People who want to talk about their problems if they arise
Who this is not for:
❌ Advanced athletes who already know exactly what to do
❌ People who go to the gym mainly to chat
❌ People who do not value tailor-made, personalized services

Zen Bodybuilding
With great satisfaction, I am pleased to present my book.
A treatise born from my life experiences and from my journey in the world of sport, particularly bodybuilding.
In ZEN BODYBUILDING:
I talk about myself! … no claims, no pretensions—only the desire to step into the arena and to expose myself openly.
Every comment, reflection, opinion—whatever it may be, expressed or unspoken—will therefore become nourishment ………
