About the Owner - Pat Romano
Pat has owned and operated health clubs and studios for the past 28 years; teaching classes and personally training clients. Pat has also trained hundreds of instructors to teach classes as well. Pat has been active in the boxing world acting as a conditioning coach for numerous fighters.
A graduate of Montclair State College with a degree in "Exercise Physiology". Pat was the recipient of the "Margaret C. Brown Scholarship", for the highest cumulative average and reflection of Doctor Brown's professional ideas.
In coordination with Montclair State College professors, Pat created a fitness instructor symposium for colleges in the area. The purpose was to educate professors on the organization, progression and structure of group fitness classes. Thus, creating a group fitness certification for graduating physical education students.
Pat's philosophy here at Active Weigh is this: Our classes are designed to be challenging, however, any fitness level can participate. Our instructors are trained to modify exercises during class to accomodate students' specific needs. Pat call's this "Freedom Training." Our instructors are encouraged to walk through the exercise class and help our students.
Pat's philosophy of fitness is simple, "Be Consistent", and you will get the results you want. "Consistency equals Results".
Pat understand's the great effort that goes into achieving the task of losing weight and keeping it off. His nickname growing up was "Fat Pat". A pet name given to him by his gym teacher. He lost 65 lbs. and never gained it back due to exercise and proper nutrition. Exercise changed his life, let him help you! Before he was "Unique Physique", He was "Fat Pat".
