In the bustling landscape of the fitness industry, one individual stands out for his innovative approach to health and wellness. Meet Michael Autore, a 33-year-old Personal Trainer hailing from Norwalk, CT, with over a decade of experience in transforming lives through his unique blend of strength training, personal development, and mental health advocacy.
Autore’s journey began 12 years ago when he embarked on his career as a Personal Trainer. Over the years, he honed his craft, eventually assuming the role of Director of Coaching at MOTIVNY, a ‘physical therapy and performance studio known for its cutting-edge approach rehab and training. But it wasn’t until 2021 that Autore took the leap to establish his own venture, SlimThick NYC, a fitness and lifestyle brand that has been making waves ever since.
What sets SlimThick NYC apart from its competitors? According to Autore, it’s all about the emphasis on body positivity and mental health. In an industry often obsessed with aesthetics, Autore saw an opportunity to prioritize self-acceptance and mental well-being alongside physical fitness.
“I didn’t want to be like any other fitness gym, studio, or brand,” Autore explains. “And I had a few personal experiences that led to me starting the business.”
Indeed, Autore’s personal journey has deeply influenced his approach to fitness. Growing up as a dance minor in college, he developed a keen appreciation for movement and rhythm, skills that he now incorporates into his training sessions. Additionally, his passion for the Pittsburgh Steelers serves as a reminder of the importance of dedication and teamwork in achieving success, both on and off the field.
But Autore’s impact extends far beyond his own achievements. Through SlimThick NYC, he has touched the lives of countless individuals, guiding them on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. From helping clients overcome physical limitations to instilling confidence and self-love, Autore’s work has left an indelible mark on the fitness community.
Reflecting on his success, Autore is quick to credit his clients for their dedication and perseverance. “I have so many stories of personal transformation and the impact of the business,” he says. “Each one is a testament to the power of resilience and the human spirit.”
Looking ahead, Autore has plenty to be excited about. In addition to his upcoming wedding in June, he is gearing up to host a SlimThick wellness retreat in the fall, offering participants a chance to recharge and reconnect with their inner selves.
As Autore takes the helm of SlimThick NYC, his efforts to redefine the standards of fitness and health continue to gain momentum. Autore’s leadership not only highlights the importance of physical health but also places a significant emphasis on the mental and emotional aspects, recognizing that true wellness encompasses a harmonious balance between the mind and body. With SlimThick NYC at the forefront, the future of fitness aims not just transformations of the body, but also empowering shifts in societal perceptions and individual self-esteem, making the journey towards health a more inclusive and supportive experience.
