Cicolani does not give up and opens a new gym in Pile

Antonio Cicolani does not go away: the guru in town for body building lovers moves and does it big: from via della Croce Rossa he will go to via Rocco Carabba 22, where he will have 2500 square meters of space for the gym.

It is a huge warehouse that until about a year ago housed an all you can eat Chinese restaurant.

In the city Antonio Cicolani has always been a point of reference for those who love sports, body building in particular: born in 1964, lean physique and blond and flowing hair, (it seems that he hasn’t touched a sweet since 1989), not even Covid has beaten him down, on the contrary , aims to do even more.

Like all addicts in the genre, he too has his own mentor, a character he is inspired by, and he is Arnold Schwarzenegger, whose posters and murals will also return to the new gym.

He was also lucky enough to meet him, when he was a boy, on the set of the film “Yado”, in 1985, by the American director Richard Fleischer and produced by Dino De Laurentis, mainly shot on the Gran Sasso in Campo Imperatore.

Regional body building champion in 1989 and national champion in 2005 and 2006, Cicolani lives for his gym. He was the first to bring the machinery to L’Aquila “Hammer Strenght”, the top of the range in the sector, the only one, to date, to have an almost self-service gym, open 24 hours a day.

During the second wave of Covid 19, he also contracted the virus, in a mild form, but still forced him to a. long and forced isolation. During this period of “seclusion” away from his tools and machinery, the decision to move.

“The long closures for us in sport, which weakened the whole sector, allowed me to be able to stop for a moment and reflect: at this point, I decided to make a change: I change everything and move on! It will be a great gym, like the American ones you see in the movies, something beautiful where you can finally get back to training safely when everything is over “, Antonio told the chief town.

Even the new gym will always be open, as per the manual: all day, every day, even at Christmas, Easter, the first of the year.
