In the ever-evolving and challenging world of healthcare, one name stands out for his commitment to improving the health of humanity, one person at a time. His name is Anthony Finochio. Not your average registered nurse (RN), Anthony has built a career stretching across six years in a myriad of hospital systems all over the state of Pennsylvania and beyond. His commitment to help, heal, and serve has shaped his journey, leading him to this pivotal point in his life.
Anthony cut his teeth in the nursing field at the height of the global Covid-19 pandemic, experiencing first-hand the severe impacts of a health crisis on humanity and the healthcare system. Witnessing countless examples of the system’s failure to care for suffering patients and the widespread proliferation of chronic illnesses, he forged an unwavering resolve to make a measurable impact on individual and public health.
Alongside his nursing career, Anthony established himself as a personal trainer, imprinting his mark in the fitness industry with FinochioFitness. Starting in the bustling environment of LA Fitness, he gained experience and recognition before branching out and creating his own business. Using this new platform, he offered personalized services such as tailored meal and workout plans, and life coaching sessions to an eager clientele.
Marrying his conventional knowledge with extensive research, he adopted a trial-and-error approach, using his body as the subject. He sought to unveil scalable and sustainable health solutions that can be implemented by anyone, anywhere. This pursuit led Anthony to a significant realization and shift in his philosophy about health and fitness.
He understood the significant implications and benefits of prioritizing primary prevention. By promoting healthier lifestyles and fitness regimes, Anthony aimed to minimize or eradicate the onset of diseases, which is often dealt with through tertiary prevention late in life once diseases have set in. In Anthony’s words, “Health is wealth,” accentuating the valuable role good health plays in the quality and longevity of life.
True to those words, Anthony continues to guide individuals towards better health. He tirelessly devotes himself to helping others become the best versions of themselves, valuing every life that he can positively impact. His profound belief in resilience echoes in his quote, “If it doesn’t kill you, it only makes you stronger.”
In his newest venture, Anthony branched into the business world as a co-owner of Asclepius Movement LLC. Named after the Greek god of medicine, the Asclepius Movement aims to revolutionize how people perceive and prioritize physical health, wellness and longevity. As co-owner, Anthony is at the helm of creating comprehensive health programs that integrate modern science with the dynamic needs of individuals.
His work extends beyond his businesses, with Anthony cultivating an active presence on social media platforms. Via his Instagram accounts @anthonyfinochio and @asclepiusmvt, he shares valuable insights on health and fitness, engaging his followers in meaningful conversations about proactive healthcare.
Simultaneously, asclepiusmovement.com serves as the digital home of his business, providing a platform for his clients to learn, interact, and take charge of their health. It is an essential part of his mission to provide access to verified, sustainable, and scalable health solutions.
Navigating the realms of healthcare and fitness, Anthony Finochio has successfully managed to merge the two, proving their symbiosis in achieving optimal health. His tumultuous journey in healthcare and the trenches of personal training has carved a clear path for his pursuit of primary prevention.
