Brian Rozzi, world champion power-lifter, former marine and founder of Dark Horse Fitness, has a knack for physiology. Years of experience led to the creation of X-pound-4, a drug-free fitness program designed specifically for women.

"X-pound-4 finds a woman's metabolism. Not every woman burns calories at the same rate," Rozzi explains. The trade-secret method took 30 years to develop. Now, using over-the-counter urinalysis sticks, Rozzi can pinpoint a woman's exact metabolic rate.

"We can tell if metabolism acting at the speed it should," Rozzi says. "Then, we design an exercise program based on that rate. There's nothing I can't break through once I know that metabolic range."

X-pound-4 is so precise that Rozzi can tell whether a client is staying on track. "If numbers are off, 90 percent of the time the woman is understating the amount of food she's eating," he says. "The other 10 percent of the time, she's pregnant."

Rozzi's program is highly individualized and includes 2-hour one-on-one training sessions in his customized home-based studio. He doesn’t need to market himself aggressively—word gets around in high-society circles. His clients come from around the world and include models, athletes, pageant winners, and top professionals who want to look their best.

Because he takes women's health seriously, Rozzi expects his clients to do the same. "If a woman starts playing games with me, I cancel the contract and move on to someone else who really wants it."

This intensity has made his program a top choice for results-driven women who are tough enough to train with this no-nonsense entrepreneur. "This isn't a day spa," Rozzi says. "We work and we sweat."
