A standout athlete who excelled at baseball, basketball and football, Geno has studied all aspects of health and wellness. In 1983 - as a competitive body builder and gym owner - Geno helped veterans and disabled Americans rebuild their lives and bodies through proper nutrition an exercise.

In 2001, Geno sold his Platinum Fitness gym - one of the first 24 hour facilities in New York, and opened Genetics, where he specializes in personal training as well as health and nutrition counseling.

Growing up on the streets of Crown Heights, Sylvain secured his status as an overall renaissance-man early on by giving it his all in the classroom and out on the court or field. As a natural athlete, he excelled in everything from basketball to football, track to bowling, and even found the time to spread his artistic wings as a saxophone player, Latin ballroom dancer, and fashion designer. After studying at York College, he was able to pursue his love for the ladder at New York’s famed Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT).

Sylvain’s athletic prowess later lead him to bodybuilding and weight-lifting where he would begin entering competitions at age 23, and by 26--through diet and exercise--would develop 8-pack abs and 80.4 kg of pure muscle. But as he advanced as a competitor he had noticed that many of his colleagues could not achieve the desired 8-pack abs which made him a standout in his field. By 1983, after opening his first gym, Geno began crafting his knowledge of building the bodies’ core from the bottom up into a state-of-the-art workout device.

Nine years on, and after opening yet another Gym in Flushing NY, Sylvain worked as both personal trainer and life-coach to his clients--many of which included Veterans and the disabled--who would use his knowledge to help rebuild their lives through proper nutrition and exercise. He would even go back to his roots as a fashion designer, starting his own line of apparel.

At his third gym, Rego Park NY’s “Platinum Fitness”, Sylvain’s training techniques would continue to garner a large following, and it would be the location in which his revolutionary product “The Abster” would acquire its name. Over more than a decade later, and after opening yet another Gym (Forrest Hills’ “Genetics”), the product and clothing line would grow and develop through several incarnations. From simple PVC piping and tenside cord to its current portable, light weight version- The Abster is able to enhance the abdominal core while simultaneously giving a full-body workout in both its in-gym and portable versions, which are accompanied by a series of exercises to enhance the experience.

With his thriving fitness businesses, the success of The Abster, his clothing-line, and even a full line of nutritious snacks and accompanying book full of nutrition info--Sylvain truly lives up to his renaissance-man status and notable reputation as an overall fitness guru.
