Sculpting Bodies: the impact fitness can have on changing lives.
Elite Master Trainer, Danny Torgl, has been transforming bodies for more than 40 years, earning him recognition as the ‘Master of Body Sculpting’.
After a childhood growing up on a farm in Spain, where Danny was inspired by the muscular arms of his leather shoe maker uncle, he moved to The States and started bodybuilding.
It was here that he was introduced to Vince Gironda, the ‘Iron Guru’. This introduction changed Danny’s life and set him on a path that would establish him as one of America’s highest profile personal trainers.
