About Me

Hello and welcome to my website blog.  I started this website for many reasons like to motivate others, show off my new look and show you what I do to succeed at beachbody workouts.  

My name is Gianni Licari and I was born and raised in Kentwood, MI just south of Grand Rapids.  All my life I played soccer and thats pretty much the only sport I played.  I grew up in a big Italian family where almost every weekend we were celebrating a special occasion or another reason to eat good food.  I grew up on pasta, potatoes, meat, salad and lots of bread and sweets.  The good old days when we would eat for hours!

Of course I grew up and went to college at Central Michigan University and got a business degree.  Joined a fraternity and had the time of my life.  Well you know in college you are always tempted to go out and party and drink lots of cold beverages.  My weight wasnt too out of control as I still played sports with the boys.  After a fun filled 5 years I graduated and moved back to Grand Rapids to marry my wife lisa.  In three years we traveled Europe, Hawaii and Mexico.  It seems so long ago but I swear that was like yeasterday.  We finally decided to settle down further and had our first wonderful little girl Gianna.  She is a sweatheart and always brings a smile to my face.   I cant believe its already been over a year since that special birthday of 08-3-08.  Lisa and I are now going on our 4th year and have brought another child in our lives.   Thats right Irish twins!  We had a baby boy named Nico on 9-18-09 and boy has it been fun.  My life has become a little more challenging so don’t tell me you dont have time for p90x

Throughout the years of marriage I still to this day play soccer once a week all year round.  The concern that I have always had is my weight and how I never could lose it.  I tried many things including the treadmill my wife purchased for me last year.  Lets face it losing weight is not fun and you have to be willing to make sacrifices to get there.  I would like to say thanks to everyone that supported me throughout the journey of my new look.  It wasnt easy but I will tell you that I will never live the lifestyle of eating whatever comes in sight. 

I am now a beachbody coach and trying to help one out of shape person at a time. 

Thanks to all that supported me and helped me with my new look!
