About

H ello my name is Antonio Caruso, or otherwise known as Antonio “THE SPARTAN” Caruso. I am a professional athlete but an everyday person with big dreams and an extraordinary drive. Dreams without work are just dreams but dreams with hard work are goals. This is a motto that I believe in and live by, it is also something that drives me every day to live a fit and active lifestyle. I was born in Adelaide, South Australia from humble beginnings. I grew up with my father, Grandparents and 2 brothers in Adelaide’s Northern Suburbs. We lived a normal life with very little understanding about health and nutrition but our father always kept us active. From the age of 14 I started playing Australian Rules Football where I reached the ranks of SANFL at a junior level, playing for Port Adelaide Magpies and Central Districts from under 15’s to under 19’s. From there I got the ideology of training to my highest level in order to maximise my performance in life and my sport. After under 19’s I was told that I was no longer required by the club and was told to move back to the amateur league. This was a low moment in my life and career where everything I had strived for and wanted from life (or what I thought at the time I wanted in life) was over. I continued to play football at the amateur level until the age of 19. In the preseason of 2009 I was asked by my brother to come to the Northside Boxing and Jiu Jitsu club to try out and learn a fairly new martial art at the time called Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ). From that moment I was hooked on martial arts. I was just like any other person, but emphasised hard work, dedication and I have built a reputation and a career on these values. I strive to push myself past my limits and become the best person I am truly capable of becoming. This is something I have noted and studied since my journey and now something I want to pass on to you, so that you too can become the best YOU. This all was not achieved overnight, not with a fad diet or an 8 week challenge, this was done over a lifestyle change and change in the way I viewed life and myself. This is what I want to do, I want to train like a Spartan, as well as have a fit and healthy lifestyle, surrounded around being my best possible self. In life we must choose the right decisions to have the right outcomes, we are the masters of our own lives and our own outcomes, especially in the world of fitness and health. With my entire lifestyle program, training and diet, I will show you how easy it is to reach and achieve your goals no matter what they are. Some may desire to be a fighter, to be a fit and healthy parent. My program and outlook on life and ideology can be tailored to suit anyone. I understand we all have different lives and different goals, and this is why I will be working with you on a one on one basis to get to know you and your life to help you achieve your fitness and wellbeing goals. I am not an Instagram model or a person who stands around and tells everyone how fit and strong I am. I am a professional performing athlete who proves and promotes hard work and dedication in all walks of my life to achieve and succeed in all areas of life, health, fitness and a generally positive and active full life.
