Hi, I'm George Gottuso! When I'm not helping people crush their physique goals, I’m in the hospital working full-time as a critical care nurse, dedicated to saving lives.

My interest in bodybuilding started when I attended my first show to support my mom, a competitive bikini athlete. Seeing those incredible athletes on stage inspired me; I wanted to pursue a similar journey. But I was young, inexperienced, and I didn’t know where to start or how to do it right. To build the physique I wanted, I needed guidance.

Fast forward four years. Fueled by my passion for bodybuilding, I hired a coach, dove into my own research, and educated myself so I had every tool possible to be a successful bodybuilder. Now, five years into my journey, that growth mindset remains. I’m still learning and always evolving, so I can better myself and provide even more value to my athletes.

I started coaching because I noticed a gap in the bodybuilding community. Too many unqualified coaches were neglecting their clients' health. My approach is different. I prioritize health optimization at every stage — whether you're a competitor or a lifestyle athlete. And my education and experience as a professional nurse informs my work as a coach. 

The results motivate my work — seeing someone’s mindset shift during our time together. That’s the most rewarding part of coaching for me. The physical transformations are a great bonus, but witnessing that mental growth is what truly drives me.
