About Ian Riccitelli

I’m Ian Riccitelli, a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and the founder of Vital Years Performance.

I started Vital Years Performance with a simple belief: fitness should help you live better—not just look better. My mission is to help people build strength, improve mobility, increase confidence, and maintain the independence to enjoy life for years to come.

Whether you’re just beginning your fitness journey, returning after time away, or looking to stay active as you age, every training program is personalized to your goals, abilities, and lifestyle. I focus on sustainable progress through science-based training, proper movement, and consistent support.

At Vital Years Performance, you’re more than just another client. My goal is to build lasting relationships based on trust, accountability, and measurable results. Together, we’ll create a plan that helps you move better, feel stronger, and improve your overall quality of life.

Because every year matters—and every strong year is a vital year.

My coaching philosophy

These principles guide every program I write and every session I lead.

Sustainable habits

I believe in programs you can maintain for years, not just weeks. Consistency beats intensity.

Personal attention

Every client is different. Your plan is built around your body, schedule, preferences, and goals.

Evidence-based coaching

I use proven training and nutrition principles, not trends or gimmicks, to keep you safe and progressing.
