About

Following the dreams and aspirations of any common individual cannot be met without obstacles and turmoil on the road to glory. We all dream. Whether it be about money, relationships, or succeeding in whichever career we decide to pursue, being the best you can be seems to surpass all other thoughts. People often become pessimistic when they encounter setbacks on their path to success. Once these pessimistic thoughts overtake our natural abilities to be in a positive state of mind, failure is inevitable. We all need a person in our lives to enlighten us, enrich our spirits, and motivate us to believe in our abilities regardless of how difficult aspects of life seem to become. There are few people who are real and precise in their good natured actions. These people are special and it is a blessing to become acquainted with such a distinctive individual. All of these qualities lead to the personality traits of one very ambitious Italian girl from Long Island named Rosetta Mortati. Born in the United States and raised in the country of Italy, Rosetta is very diverse in her communications with her clients. Although she holds a fulfilling career and a personal trainer, Rosetta brings much more to her clients that the ability to improve a body image.The main purpose of a personal trainer may be to improve physical appearance and overall health to a client but Rosetta brings a lot more to her clients than a typical trainer. Rosetta’s ability to make every client cope with the fact that they are special in their own way regardless of their outer appearance brings out the true beauty in everyone willing to let her become a part of their lives. Not focused on the materialistic aspects of life, Rosetta understands that real happiness does not come from having the perfect body. Rosetta stresses that although it is fulfilling to see a visible change in oneself, true success in the gym comes from the release of everyday stresses and the ability to improve feelings of self worthiness. Many clients come to the gym with a low self esteem. They begin their course of training with an idea that having a nicer body will assist them in achieving happiness. Unfortunately, this is far from the truth. Physical appearances do not promote happiness but having optimistic thoughts about yourself and your world will. So in title, you can call Rosetta a personal trainer. In reality, you have just hired a person capable of much more than the ability to burn fat or build muscle. Rosetta is a very accepting person. She understands that diversity is an important issue in the world and she is very impartial when it comes to judging people for who they are rather than for their outer characteristics or social status in this disgruntled world. This is seen daily even without clients as Rosetta accommodates people of all ages and ethnicities into her inner circle of friends. Rosetta not only has been capable of major changes in her clients self concept and physique but also brings her strength of mind and moral fiber to people in her environment. Being this opened minded, she inhibits the ability to not be an average personal trainer that has knowledge of just dumbbells, barbells, and treadmills. Rather, she enjoys conversing about pivotal political opinion or issues that the youth of the nation will face as the younger generation matures. Personal training is the passion of Rosetta but her mission statement regarding happiness in life or her seen action of post conventional level of morality is mind boggling. Rosetta:“"What’s on the inside is what really should define a person when other’s plan to judge."” A role model quote for what Rosetta consistently reiterates in her teachings and what she portrays on a daily basis. Lets be honest with ourselves for one moment and ask ourselves the question of how modest we would all be with perfect curves and perfectly peaked definition and vascularity. However, Rosetta dresses very modestly during work and when taking part in her leisure activities throughout the day. You can spot her anywhere and never know that her body is as perfect as it truly is because of her modest dress code. However, on the surface, her physical image is nothing to overlook and could make many people envious of such perfection. Such perfection that Rosetta keeps hidden by not mentioning her appearances in various magazines such as"Musculemag" "“World Black Belt”" " “Natural Muscle”' "MD" magazines. Keeping her Italian roots even while residing on Long Island, Rosetta’s recipes to stay fit and healthy have been featured in “Italy Fisica E Cultura” a dozen times. However, this is something that Rosetta takes pride in but rarely boasts about such accomplishments. Her true duty is to improve the lives of her clients on a socioemotional basis followed by a physical improvement program. Rosetta has competed in NPC Shows with great placing . However, she never competed to show that she was better than another individual. She competed to gain back her self image that she had lost through a challenging chapter in her life. Once she overcame her difficulties with such triumph, she took a break from competing. . Tosetta tells us she will compete again in the near future The training Rosetta takes part in is solely to improve herself and not to be shown off for no apparent reason. Rosetta tells us : It's within yourself that you should feel you've won no matter what place you've taken." She believes every person who train and walks on stage dispite there conditions deserves acknowledgment, every person has a reson to want to better themselfs and walk on stage "we do not know what that reason is ".. but i admire each one of them from the overall winner to the last in place . Rosetta still takes part in photo shoots and is a writter for Fitness Magazine she loves spending her time with her family and loved ones. When not training clients, Rosetta can be found playing lotto and drinking coffee at a local bakery shop with her best friend, her 92 year old grandfather. She also spends time eating sushi with close friends. The main point constantly reiterated by Rosetta’s simple message is that the ability to work diligently for a long period of time results in self worthiness. There is no need to feel guilty or insecure about your body or mind. The difference between self concept and self esteem can drastically change after understanding the journey Rosetta has taken. Few personal trainers can be found that can have such an impact on each individual they work with. Then again, its not necessarily fair to call Rosetta a personal trainer. In my mind, and in the mind of many others, she can be defined as a kind hearted individual with the ability to listen, motivate, understand, solve problems, and most importantly, can be considered an honest friend with only good intention. Someone to turn to, someone to trust, and someone to make everything okay even when aspects our lives seem out of place. Most importantly, someone to call a friend and companion in a world of betrayal and deceit.

When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime. ~Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason2# As people alive today, we must consider future generations: a clean environment is a human right like any other. It is therefore part of our responsibility toward others to ensure that the world we pass on is as healthy, if not healthier, than we found it.3# It is under the greatest adversity that there exists the greatest potential for doing good, both for oneself and others.4# We are all here on this planet, as it were, as tourists. None of us can live here forever. The longest we might live is a hundred years. So while we are here we should try to have a good heart and to make something positive and useful of our lives. Whether we live just a few years or a whole century, it would be truly regrettable and sad if we were to spend that time aggravating the problems that afflict other people, animals, and the environment. The most important thing is to be a good human being.5# Whether we are rich or poor, educated or uneducated, whatever our nationality, color, social status, or ideology may be, the purpose of our lives is to be happy.6# It is easy to point out the mistakes of others, while it is hard to admit one´s own mistakes. A man or woman broadcasts the sins of others without thinking, but he hides his own sins as a gambler hides his extra dice.

Jim Germanakos- "The Biggest Loser" Season #4's "At-Home Champion." My name is Jim Germanakos, and I was NBC TV- "The Biggest Loser" Season #4's "At-Home Champion.I am a Police Officer from Long Island, and my friends call me Jimmy The Greek. My brother Bill and I were lucky enough to be picked as contestants on season #4 of The Biggest Loser where at age 42, we went on to sweep the prizes by losing the most body-weight percentage. Bill lost 164 pounds which was 49%, and I was the biggest (percentage) weight-loser on the show losing over 51% with a weight loss of 186 pounds. I like to remind people that there's more to getting back in shape than just trying fad diets. Dedication-Motivation-Education-Perspiration are all necessary.My father always said The only way to get something done, is to get it started!, and all of a sudden in my life, I find myself needing to look back and remember all the lessons I learned 2 years ago, and re-establish my goals. This is because I've recently fell off the fitness band-wagon a bit and gained a bunch of weight. This happened after I suffered a couple of serious injuries, which side-lined me from training, and had me sitting home on that "Fat-Couch"... depressed, and eating pretzels and other comfort foods, for months.I had just completed running my second New York City Marathon in November of 2009, and at the same time was training hard with weights, looking forwards to competing in the Police Olympics for weight-lifting, when I decided to play Flag-Football with all the young cops and firemen that i work with. This resulted in a badly pulled and bleeding hamstring, which then sent me rolling to the ground where I suffered, on the OTHER leg, a torn quadriceps-tendon. Off to the hospital I went, and i was out of work for months.Since the Season 4 Finale of The Biggest Loser, I have appeared on Access Hollywood, Entertainment Tonight, The Larry King Live Show, CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, The Today Show, The Ellen Degeneres Show, and numerous other internet, magazine, and print publications throughout the United States. I have also worked for many years singing the standards of Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett, and I really look forward to a career in television and entertainment. It's for this reason that i went to Rosetta Mortati for help.Rosetta Mortati...I the last couple of years, I have visited and trained at many gyms in Long Island and New York, all of which had invited me to train in their gyms, with their trainers, and in their classes, at no cost to me. I greatly appreciate the fact that so many people have been so generous, and gracious to me. I believe that these new friends believe that my experience and success on "The Biggest Loser" can help to inspire others to realize that they can do it it too. And I have offered to help out, and "Pay it Forward" whenever possible.I love to spin, and I found comfort in running, and also worked towards a life-time goal of bench-pressing 400 pounds. I took my health for granted and never realized how quickly i could lose my fitness, and gain weight once I stopped training. This is the real world. These are the bumps in the road that EVERYBODY has to deal with. After I was able to start training again, many of my new friends that I had met in the gyms, suggested new classes, and personal trainers that could help me get back on track again. One name kept coming up as a local "Jillian"-type, but one who knows about bodybuilding, getting ripped, and weight-training, as compared to just losing weight. This trainer's name was Rosetta Mortati. I kept hearing "Rosetta can get you back in shape..", and "Rosetta can get you ripped..", and "Rosetta is HOTT.." (LOL). One person on FACEBOOK Friend-suggested me to Rosetta, where I introduced myself. Rosetta accepted my friend request, and challenged me to participate in one of her BOOTCAMP classes. So off I went to Sunrise Fitness in Holbrook where I was met by a gorgeous little fire-cracker, Rosetta Mortati, and a real gentleman named Ivan, the owner, who invited me to use his awesome gym at my will. Ivan and I got along immediately because he is a retired Police Officer, and we both talked about our experiences in the police department and felt like brothers immediately. Great guy. Back to Rosetta... wow. Rosetta Mortati. I had only known Rosetta for 30 seconds when she said something to me in Italian....I think she called me handsome (LOL), and then in her Brooklyn Accent, said "you ready?"....and I said "Yep!". And that was my first mistake. I followed Rosetta into a class full of Sculpted and fit, fire-breathing women who looked more like they were ready for battle, than for exercise, and I proceeded to get my ass handed to me for 90minutes. The sweat flung around the room.... there was grunting, and whistling...screaming and cursing. Where AM I?.. LOL. And eventually it all ended. There was peace. Phew. After a few high-fives,... the girls helped me up, and thats when i said to myself that I have to either run away really fast, or give my 100% to Rosetta.Now Rosetta is no TV trainer....not yet at least. I mean here's this sculpted little gorgeous, muscular, shapely woman....who immediately reminded me of Sophia Loren with muscles...wearing big old loose sweats that could fit ME! I mean when one of the girls told Rosie to show me her abs....Rosie seemed embarassed and said "NAH!", but reluctantly lifted her shirt up to expose an 8-pack that looked like it was fake. WTF?.. WOW! DUDE!.. hahaha. Rosie went on to interview me about me needs, and then asked me for a commitment. She made me promise that she wouldnt be wasting her time if she put her efforts into training me, and i looked her square in the eye and said "GOOD BYE!". LOL. Just kidding. I told her that I would give it my all, at which time she put a stop-watch over her head... tightened up her pony tail, shut off her phone, grabbed the front of my soaked sweat shirt, and pulled me into the weight room to introduced me to "Rosetta's World". So here we go. I am like 10000 pounds overweight, but I have a pretty good muscular base. I know about weight lifting, and do not care if I ever again bench press heavy weight for a single rep. I hit my goal of 405 on the bench, then proceeded to injure both shoulders, so I think i'll set my next goal to have a respectable 6-pack, and to become fit and healthy, so I can meet my grand-kids one day. OK Rosie..... I'm ready. Here we go. (UGH!).Jim G

In Memoriam
In Memory of MelissaI keep Melissa in my thoughts through everything I do!On December 14, 2005 at 8:45 a.m. Melissa James was to arrive at the Newark, NJ airport from Las Vegas to spend the holidays with her family. Her mother arrived at the airport around 9:00 a.m. to pick her up. Melissas mother spoke with Melissa the day before to get her itinerary. She also tried to call Melissa the night before her flight to confirm her flight number. When her mother spoke with Melissa earlier, she was in a restaurant eating and said she would call her before she boarded the plane with the flight number. Melissa didnt call as she said she would, however, her mother figured she was busy packing and preparing for her trip. Before Melissas mom went to bed that evening, she sent her a text message that she would meet her in the baggage claim area. As such, Melissas mom went directly to baggage claim when she arrived at the airport figuring Melissa received her text message.Melissas mom got lost on her way to the airport causing her to arrive at the airport a little late. She thought it was strange that Melissa didnt call her cell phone to let her know she had landed. She also thought that maybe the flight was delayed. However, when she arrived, she noticed that Melissa was not around and that her flight did, in fact, arrive on time. After having Melissa paged but not getting a response, she asked the man at the counter to check the passenger roster. He informed her that Melissa never got on the plane. At first thought, Melissas mom concluded that she probably missed her flight and figured she would hear from her soon with her new arrival time. Unfortunately, Melissas mom never heard from her again. After placing countless phone calls and text messages, Melissas mother knew something was terribly wrong.Melissas mother was informed the next day that around the same time she was at the airport on the morning of the 14th, her daughter Melissas body was found in the desert, burned in the trunk of a car. Melissa was murdered the afternoon of December 13, around 3 hours after speaking with her mother. According to the police reports, Melissa was beaten, tortured and murdered before she was put in the trunk of the car and burned. Two people that she worked for, and thought were her friends, are in custody for her murder.It its unfathomable to imagine anyone wanting to hurt Melissa. She was a very loving woman both beautiful on the inside and out. She always thought of others before herself. Melissas passion in life was dance. At the age of 19 she started Dance Unlimited. She had many, many students and she poured her life into them. She loved them and they loved her. Melissa also did modeling, promotional work and local commercials in Panama City Beach, Fl.Melissa was 28 years old when she died. Words cannot express how much her family and friends miss her. Words from Melissa Mother ........MELISSAWith Melissa there is no longer pain.With Melissa there is no blameWith Melissa there is no hate.For she is now beyond heaven’s gate.With Melissa there is no evil.My Melissa jetes in angelic fields.My Melissa is not hurt by negative remarks.Only her friends and family left with broken hearts.My Melissa is in the presence of a forgiving Father,For Melissa she desires only our love for one another.My Melissa is dancing even more then beforeWith plies and glissades across heavenly golden floors.From Melissa are the memories we will never forget.Through Melissa is the strength we carry on and yet,My Melissa is in the Father’s embrace,As we boldly come before the throne of grace.For Melissa there is now happiness, peace and joy.And Melissa the angels she will now employ!As Melissa’s work on earth is done,The heavenly host of heaven resounds.My Melissa her soul is now at rest.And Melissa no longer has to pass any test.My Melissa now sees everything so clearly.And prepares for the arrival of the ones she holds dearly.We rejoice evermore that she is finally homeAnd our comfort is only through God alone.He holds every tear that we cry in his hand,Through every heartache God understands.God speaks words of comfort in my times of grief,Assuring me that he’s in control and I must believe.He is close to the brokenhearted as the Psalm says,I’ll reach out to touch his heart each and every day.Thank you for trusting me with her for 28 years,I laugh when I think of her humor through tears.She brought so much joy to every ones heart,And our faith in our God will never depart.Written by Melissa’s Mom Melissa Ann James Memorial ScholarshipMelissa’s goal was to inspire children and young adults to reach their full potential in the fulfillment of their dream in the dancing profession. From preschool to high school age she devoted herself to each and every one with patience and determination. It is our desire that her dream live on in the lives of others who desire to attain a dancing career.At Gulf Coast Community College it is our wish that the Melissa Ann James Memorial Scholarship Fund provide the opportunity for others to fulfill their dreams and goals in the field of performing arts with the emphasis on dance. It is very appropriate as Melissa was a student at Gulf Coast Community College.Maura James, Dennis James & FamilyMelissa Ann James Memorial Scholarship FundGulf Coast Community College Foundation Inc.5230 US Hwy 98 Panama City, Florida 32401
