Client of the Month - April 2022
Luciano Contin
Who is He? He is…
A Brazil native, lives in Melrose, a husband, a father to his 3 daughters and owner of his own business.
Why is He? Because He...
Recently got back to exercising and has made a tremendous effort to make it a high priority. Luciano has been consistently exercising now since December 2021 and for the last several weeks has been working out 4 times per week. We've seen big gains in his strength during this time, and it's all a reflection to his hard work.
How did He? He…
Worked out 2x per week to start, eventually moving to 3x and is now currently working out 4x per week! Luciano is always on time and if he ever needs to miss, he makes up his training session on another day with us. He even utilizes virtual training on days he cannot make it in.
Fun facts about Luciano…
Luciano is originally from Brazil and runs a successful restaurant and bakery in Medford called Oasis Brazilian Restaurant. He is a father to 3 amazing daughters, one of which is a past client, and he is also the husband to Sylvia Contin, who is also another one of our amazing clients.
A note from Luciano:
"I found out about Fitness Together through my wife, who has been a client since 2014. She encouraged me to join and after a while I decided it was time. I've been coming 4 times a week to the studio and am I feeling overall much better, more flexible, energized and stronger! My goals are to lose weight and be in better health as I age."
Congratulations Luciano!!!

Mike Palumbo
Who is He? He is…
A Melrose native, a husband, a father to his two boys, a 16-year-old and a 11 year, he's an accountant and also owner of his own business.
Why is He? Because He...
Has made exercise in and out of the gym a priority by practicing what he’s been learning in his workouts along with staying on top of his nutrition since he started, which has resulted in him losing 2.5 percent of his body fat, 3.5 inches of his waist, an inch from his hips and all while gaining a tremendous amount of strength and flexibility. He can reach his toes now!
How did He? He…
Worked out 3x per week at Fitness Together Melrose while also training a bit on his down down time. Mike always comes early, rarely misses a workout and usually stays after for cardio too. One of his biggest accomplishments has been adhering to his nutrition plan, even throughout the holiday season and while traveling.
Fun facts about Mike…
Mike loves spending time with his family and friends, going to NH on the weekends, traveling, sports with the kids and playing golf in the summers.
A note from Mike:
“FT created a training and nutrition plan that worked specifically for me. In two months, I reached my goal of lowering fat. I feel great!”
Congratulations Mike!!!
