Biography:
Vincent Ferguson is a certified personal trainer and author of "Six Weeks To A Six Pack" and “Get Ready! Get Set! Get Fit!” (A Guide To Developing Youth Fitness) Mr. Ferguson has, for the past 20 years made fitness a part of his life. His love for fitness began in the United States Navy, where he studied the martial arts and kickboxing. Immediately upon being discharged from the Navy, Mr. Ferguson started bodybuilding. As a bodybuilder, he entered various competitions throughout the New York tri-state area.

Mr. Ferguson realized that bodybuilding, martial arts and the military all had something in common -- discipline. He felt that if his involvement in physical fitness can have such a positive effect on his body, mind and overall well-being, then it would have similar effects on others. Mr. Ferguson then founded and became the president of Body Sculpt of New York, Inc., a not-for-profit health and fitness organization. The organization consist of volunteers who generously donate their time traveling to local schools, churches and community centers to conduct a wide range of sports clinics and answer questions on fitness and nutrition.

In 2004, Mr. Ferguson created the Children's Sports & Fitness Expo to target the ongoing obesity problem plaguing our youth. The Expo is an annual program where thousands of school age children have an opportunity to participate in over 25 sports activities, health screenings and nutrition clinics. Through this free event, families can gain exposure to activities, programs and services that will help them to become more physically fit, thereby reducing the risk of obesity in their lives.

Mr. Ferguson is currently conducting six week fitness programs and workshops for adults and children throughout New York City.
