Antonio and the team have worked with a wide range of clients from all over the world during their time as teachers and instructors in the health and fitness industries. Here is a curated collection of feedback from various clients who have worked with Studio Director, Antonio Di Cecco:
KEIRA KNIGHTLEY, ACTOR
“I had never tried Yoga or Pilates before working with Antonio and I was a little sceptical. After having worked with him for a year now, I can honestly say I have never had a workout program that has been more enjoyable or effective. He is a true master of his craft, with a passion for what he does that is completely infectious. His workout sessions not only tone the body, they lighten the mind.”
ORLANDO BLOOM, ACTOR
“Having suffered numerous injuries in the past, I am always wary of physical training. The combination of Yoga, Pilates and weights Antonio put together for me, built the core strength I had long been missing and required. Not only did it increase my stamina … it enabled me to work to my fullest potential both physically and mentally. It has been invaluable. He has been not only a great trainer, but also a great friend.”
LENA OLIN, ACTOR
“Through Antonio I have taken my first few “steps” with Yoga. His knowledge and sensitive care has made this an experience that I will always keep with me. A physical trainer with such intelligence is rare and has made my stay here in Australia wonderful. Thank you for a new start.”
STUART TOWNSEND, ACTOR
“It’s very rare that when a trainer leaves after a session that you don’t curse him for what he just put your body through … Antonio is one of the few exceptions. His knowledge of the body and all the different forms of exercise it requires to keep in shape is remarkable and the results in a couple of months were incredible. Simply put, my body has never been fitter or healthier. I would recommend Antonio in a second because on top of all this he is also just a great guy to be around.”
VINCENT PEREZ, ACTOR
“I have been working with Antonio for the last 3 months and the results are amazing. I lost 8 kg and gained a new body with Antonio’s Body Bliss Workout. I have been training all over the world and Antonio is in my Top 10 personal trainers. Antonio’s personality is a great help. After each session of workout, my spirit felt enriched by the time I spent with him. He’s in constant research of improving his technique, which made every session fresh. My thanks to him. I will miss him a lot back there in France.”
FABRIZIO BENTIVOGLIO, ACTOR
“The work I have done with Antonio before and during the shooting of the film “The Missing” has been very special for me. He has restored by body to what it was when I was twenty years of age (I am now forty-one). He has liberated me from the superfluous body fat which I had accumulated over the years and replaced it with good muscle tone. I will always be grateful to him.”
DR MICHAEL HEWITT-GLEESON, PRINICPAL, SCHOOL OF THINKING
(the world’s first Doctor of Lateral Thinking)
“I am pleased to be able to recommend Antonio Di Cecco of Body Bliss as a personal trainer par excellance. Apart from his knowledge and qualifications, Antonio has an unusually intuitive rapport that makes the sessions with him productive and enjoyable. I particularly appreciate his intelligent approach and his explanations which are as insightful as they are effective. But above all, Antonio’s steady guidance always leads me to a balance between what is possible and what is probable and I have achieved more with his help than with 15 years of gyms and trainers here and in New York.”
SU ARMSTRONG, PRODUCER: QUEEN OF THE DAMNED
“This is to confirm that this company employed Antonio Di Cecco as strength/fitness trainer to the actors in the feature film “Queen of The Damned”. Antonio has been extremely diligent and conscientious in working with the actors to ensure that their fitness and strength were enhances and maintained for them to be able to work comfortably and safely. He worked closely with the Stunt Coordinator, Glenn Boswell, in order to understand the wirework and stunts that the actors would need to undertake and to tailor his training accordingly. The actors have unanimously voiced their appreciation of Antonio’s method of training.”
LYNDA HOUSE, PRODUCER: THE MISSING
“This is to confirm that Anthonio Di Cecco worked on the feature film, "The Missing", as personal trainer to lead actor Fabrizio Bentivoglio (Italy’s most successful actor), main supporting actor John Moore and leading actress Rebecca Firth. All of the actors showed remarkable increase in fitness and well being. Antonio’s attitude and application to the work were inspiring and he took care of the actors with sensitivity and understanding. He also made them work hard – and they loved it. Antonio prepared programmes for the time when we were on location and the actors were working 6 day weeks, so they could maintain the work that he had done. He investigated a knee injury that one of the actors had in childhood and found a specialist who successfully treated it. The response from everyone who has worked with Antonio has been extremely positive. I would recommend him without reservation.”
