Whether you're working towards that wedding day or your New Year’s resolution, fitness specialist Anthony Van Putten will help you reach it!

In 2004 Anthony Van Putten founded Optimum Training and Fitness

(OTF) with a philosophy to build stronger leaner highly

functional bodies which increases confidence and improves

quality of life. Anthony worked as a New York City Corrections

Officer, on Rikers Island, for 9 years where he was able to

exchanged fitness philosophies, and ideas with the physical

training staff. He researched body building techniques of

the inmate population, who were in amazing shape

without the use of fancy equipment. It was this

research that helped him develop his training

regimen for OTF.

Anthony was a personal trainer for Bally’s Fitness and is certified

with the National Academy of Sports Medicine. He is trained

in the martial arts system of Wing Chun Kung Fu, taught

by Master Michael Militano and has achieved the

Wooden Dummy level, which is comparable to

karate’s second degree black belt. He has also

studied Vee arnis jitsu, under Professor David

James and through these training developed

a mental and physical toughness that he

values highly.

He believes exercise is a journey and fitness is the destination.
