This is the place to have all your questions answered, regardless of subject matter. All the answers you receive will be the correct ones because all the answers come from one source. I am simply the messenger of that information. My name is John Girolamo, and I am the Iron Guru.
You will notice that the site is fitness-oriented. That is the manifested platform from which I have been working since 1988, and will continue to work from as your Life Mentor. Your mind, body, and spirit are all connected; I harness the power of all three to help you reach whatever goals you desire.
Here is a brief history of how I got started in the field of health and fitness: On January 1, 1970, I lifted weights for the first time, in an effort to emulate my father, and also the world-renowned bodybuilder, Arnold Schwarzenegger. My father had developed a muscular physique while serving overseas in the US Army. Arnold was, at this time, a rising star in the sport of bodybuilding. It was Arnold’s picture on the cover of Joe Weider’s Muscle Builder/Power magazine that prompted my first weight resistance training workout. It has now been over forty five years, and I haven’t stopped yet! In 1974, I stepped on stage for the first time to compete in a bodybuilding physique contest. I was in competition continually until 2014, when I finally stepped off stage for the last time. There were many exciting moments in those forty years of competition. I will share them with you from time-to-time in other areas of this site.
This will always be a free service because the information that channels through me is also free and infinite. I welcome your comments and questions. Please send them via e-mail to: john.girolamo(at)ironguru(dot)net
Thank you!
