The perfect team for making your NJ powerlifting experience a memorable one.

John Dalessio - State Chair

I've been involved in the USA Powerlifting / ADFPA since 1996 as a lifter, coach and referee. While I was serving in the US Coast Guard, I read an article about James Benemerito competing at Men's Nationals and wanted to give it a try. After I finished my time in the US Coast Guard, I went to learn from the best. I drove an hour each way, three times a week for a year to train with the guys at Pro Fitness. It took me 12 years to finally win a national championship. Never give up!
