programs — metabolic makeover

smart-ex training           eecp machine


Everyone knows exercise is good for them, but most of us don’t have the time or ambition to do it.  We realize that we should exercise in order to maintain optimal health and physical performance, but somehow that isn’t motivation enough to go to the gym 3–5 times a week.

There are thousands of “exercise plans” that claim they will give you the results you’re looking for with little time or effort.  The majority of these are very poor at accomplishing real benefits.

Dr. Ben’s SMART™ exercise program was designed to produce the most return in the least amount of time.  The SMART™ exercise program has repeatedly demonstrated exceptional results with two 15 to 20 minute sessions per week.  That’s 2 times a week for 15 to 20 minutes each time.  Within 3 to 5 weeks most people can “see” and measure increased lean tissue (muscle), increased metabolic rate, and experience fat loss with an average of more than 20% of their body fat.

This is for real.

Dr. Ben’s SMART™ exercise program is safe -- no one has been injured in the 35 years since its inception.  It has also been proven to work as measured in published, presented scientific studies, and in tens of thousands of case studies.

Spend about one half hour per week using this program and you can improve your health, gain more muscle, reduce your fat, burn more calories, and change your metabolism.  In simple terms, that means burning the same amount of calories as walking 2 to 4 miles a day without ever taking a step.  If that sounds interesting, read on.


Dr. Ben using SMART™ training with a client.

Revolutionizing the fitness and health industries with the most cutting-edge technology and programs, Dr. Vincent “Ben” Bocchicchio’s new innovative proprietary program is the "Metabolic Makeover," a combination of a 7-part SMART™ exercise program, scientifically based nutritional advice and a full-body Vascular Massage.

Weight-loss and exercise professionals for years have touted that more time in the gym equals more weight loss, more muscle mass and overall better health. Not so, says Dr. Bocchicchio, an internationally renowned exercise physiologist who has scientific studies and 30 years of success stories to buck the common misconception.

The science behind the relationship between body weight and working out has long been unclear.  For example, some lean individuals never workout and stay lean, but some who are overweight can workout often and not necessarily lose weight.  Scientific studies, especially ones published in the last 10 years, have begun to question the duration and type of exercise utilized to REDUCE FAT and keep a person lean, even though our society has come to believe the popular myth that more cardio workout time equals more weight loss.

Demonstrated scientifically In a published IRB scientific study with 90 individuals ages 18 to 72 of all different fitness levels, Dr. Ben’s 7-part SMART™ exercise program was measured against conventional (target range) cardiovascular exercise.

The SMART™ exercise program, developed and patented by Dr. Bocchicchio, is a series of seven resistance training exercises done in 15-20 minutes.  The SMART™ System utilizes slow resistance training working major muscle groups for one set, taking muscles to momentary fatigue.  The program was completed twice a week with three days of muscle recovery time in between workouts.  Over the five week TRIAL, half of the individuals completed 3 ½ hours of cardio exercise each week and the other half completed the smart™ exercise program twice a week (30 minutes weekly total).

The results showed that when compared against the 3 hours and 20 minutes of cardio exercise, the SMART™ exercise program tested three times more effective in producing aerobic power improvement.  Additionally, both groups’were measured in a variety of tests, including body composition, upper and lower body strength assessment, trunk flexibility, resting blood pressure and resting heart rate.  Across the board AND IN EVERY CATEGORY, the individuals who exercised with Dr. Ben’s SMART™ program measured significantly more improvements and stronger results.  (Study abstract available on request.)

Dr. Bocchicchio is not the only distinguished fitness and health expert to question time in the gym as it relates to weight loss.  Notable Science Journalist and best-selling Author Gary Taubes has challenged exercise’s role to weight loss for years.  A Finnish study published in 2000 found the relationship between exercise and weight is “more complex” than most would think, citing that all subjects in the study who lost weight ended up regaining it.  In some cases, the 20-year Finnish study showed, some individuals even gained weight with regular exercise.”


Dr. Bocchicchio monitors a client on the EECP machine.

Dr. Bocchicchio has successfully trained thousands of individuals across the nation on his SMART™ exercise program for more than 30 years.  In as little as five weeks, he has seen overweight individuals lose 50 percent of their body fat, Olympic and professional athletes who have taken their workout to the next level, and senior citizens as old as 92 build muscle mass and shed body fat.

Offered exclusively at the DR’S FITNESS CENTER in Phoenix, Arizona, Dr. Bocchicchio’s latest fitness program combines his proven SMART™ exercise program with EECP technology to enhance muscle recovery time.  Dr. Bocchicchio is the first exercise physiologist in the nation to use EECP technology -- which has been used effectively for cardiac patients to stimulate blood flow -- for fitness purposes.  This combination, called the Metabolic Makeover, has shown through body composition results AND laboratory data to significantly improve a person’s metabolism.
