What They Say About The MCL Team

Tony is one of the top trainers in the country. He truly walks the walk. He is so skilled; yet amazingly down to earth, personable, motivational and fun. He brings a sense of humor to his work; but keeps his eye on the prize and makes sure his clients achieve optimal health and fitness. He knows how to shape things just perfectly and can get super specific with any area one wants to tone up; but he also makes sure everything is integrated. Tony is the ultimate student and he never stops learning or growing. He has more education than most fitness professionals I know and he still continues to study and learn all he can in and out of the industry. He brings more than just physical education to his clients and students, he teaches a lifestyle of true health and happiness. I’m honored to know Tony, to train with Tony and to be part of his team. I look forward to more glute training with him!

For the past year I have been training with Chris Algieri.  Throughout this year, I have seen my technique and skill skyrocket to new levels. He has helped me build my boxing, kickboxing, and conditioning and has also given me great nutritional advice. I have built extreme confidence in my striking and fighting in general thanks to our training. Since we started together, I have had three fights and won all three decisively. Chris’s attention to small details has truly made me a better fighter. Because of Chris’s help, I felt confident enough to take my first fight on 2 days notice. Chris Algieri is not only a great coach, but a great friend and mentor. He is always there to give me advice about fighting, nutrition, and life in general. He’s someone that truly inspires me. His work ethic is second to none. I have never seen someone work as hard as this man, inside and outside of the gym. Chris not only helps me in the gym, but he sets a phenomenal example of what it takes to become a world champion. If not for Chris being in my life this past year, I can honestly say I don’t think I would be sitting here today 3-0. I look forward to a bright future with Chris guiding me every step of the way. Thanks for everything Chris, it’s truly appreciated!

Tony is one of the people I respect the most in the health and fitness industry. His dedication to staying on the cutting edge of the art and science of health is unparalleled. He constantly seeks to learn new information and isn’t afraid to let go of old out-of-date ideas when their time has come. At the same time, he has a gift for explaining complex ideas in a straight forward, down to earth manner. He is the rare combination of expert, educator and speaker all rolled into one package. I recommend that anyone interested in fitness, nutrition or the science of health contact Tony – whether you are a client looking for help in attaining your goals or a professional seeking to learn more about your field, Tony is the person you need to know.

I’ve known Tony for well over 25 years. Tony has always been ahead of his time. Fitness is not just a career for him, but a way of life. Tony’s strength and conditioning programs have helped my fighters tremendously. He is one of the major contributing factors to my fighters great success in the ring. He adapts programs to fit their needs, and their upcoming opponents. We are never unprepared thanks to Tony’s innovative strength and conditioning programs.

“I’ve had the privilege of working with Tony Ricci for a year now and can absolutely say that Tony is in a league of his own. At the time I approached Tony I was already making reasonable progress, but needed guidance to get to the next level. It was no longer the case of simply reducing calories or eliminating refined sugar. I needed to better understand, through Tony’s guidance, ways I could further manipulate insulin levels to optimize glycogen synthesis and muscle restoration, as needed. In addition, Tony has a remarkable ability to translate historical dietary data (i.e., what I eat) into highly specific measures of what I consume, and what opportunities exist to make improvements. Tony helped me create an entire nutritional plan around my complex training routine of 14 workouts per week in 3 disciplines (swimming, cycling, resistance training) to optimize for performance, recovery, and long-term health. It is with my highest confidence that I have, and will continue to, recommend Tony to all friends and family who are serious about improving themselves through what they eat” -
