We were lucky to catch up with Marcus Artico recently and have shared our conversation below.
Marcus, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We’d love to hear the backstory behind a risk you’ve taken – whether big or small, walk us through what it was like and how it ultimately turned out.
When I decided to be an actor in Brazil my dad and cousin laugh at me and told me to forget and that was not for me . Well I took the risk and the road , lots of pain and suffering but I did became an actor and one day I remembered calling my dad and cousin and asking if they wanted an autograph, because I was in a big role on a soup opera .
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
Well my first passion that I accomplished was to become an actor . I did have the second passion , training , I always wanted to look like Van damme , Stallone , and I started working out when I was 19 YO , before that I was a karate champion , ping pong champion and arm wrestling champion , when I moved to LA I wanted to pursue my both dreams , I did some good jobs as an actor but it was as fitness competitor that I became the LA Guy , I won 7 times first place out of 8 shows . At that point I was a personal trainer in Beverly Hills working with Hollywood celebrities and business people . It was a Blast !
I became “TheCreator” in 2018 , I used to work in a private gym in Beverly Hills with just free weight and one of my clients called me Creator , because I used the free weights to create new exercises for full body . Then I told him if I won my first NPC Show I would do a tattoo with the word TheCreator , so I won not one but 3 categories in one show my first NPC and I Became “TheCreator” which today means , I create my own future , my decisions , I create my Passion , my Destiny . It Became my Trademark .
I travelled the world and also I worked as a Motivational speaker in China , always taking risks and allowing my self to do new things .
Back to US after pandemic I ended up in Florida and now I live in Palm Beach Gardens and I am surrounded by great people , I am a Top Trainer at Lifetime , the best Healthy Club in US . I am also a Myofascial Release Specialist and I studied a lot to learn this fantastic way of release inflammation , open knots and helping with mobility and flexibility , all my clients loved it ! One thing about me is I work hard , been a trainer for 26 years and myofascial release for about 15 years . I am also a voice actor and unfortunately I had to pick one career , I don’t the time to do everything that I love .
I am going to be 50 YO , I am healthy , active , I play basketball with the kids , clients and neighbor , I swim , I play ping pong in a high level still and I love to go to a motorcycle ride . I love speed !
What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
I believe my personality , my Carisma , my knowledge , my titles , my passion and being honest person are definitely factors that helped me to build my reputation .
Do you think you’d choose a different profession or specialty if you were starting now?
Yes a 100% . I wouldn’t change anything , maybe I would try to come to US earlier and not when I got here I was 36 YO , besides this , wouldn’t change anything .
