619 MUSCLE - So-Cal's Sports Nutrition Authority!






WHO ARE WE?

We are 619 MUSCLE - So-Cal's Sports Nutrition Authority

At 619 Muscle, we bring you the best in the game of sports nutrition and supplementation, designed to help you maximize your life.

We are all about High Performance Living!

At 619 MUSCLE, we believe that there is a hardcore athlete inside each and every one of us! No matter what your age, no matter what your physical state or your state of mind, we firmly believe that your "hardcore" is just screaming for a way out! No matter whether you're a doctor, a lawyer, a construction worker, a soccer mom or a student, we've got what you need - the information, the products, and the expertise - to help you reach your fitness goals...and then explore new ones!

Health is more than just a sound body. And a healthy being incorporates the whole being, mind, body, soul...that's why at 619 MUSCLE, we are a family. But don't take my word for it - come into our home, and become a part of what we're building!

My name is Pete Ciccone, and I am the owner of 619 MUSCLE. In July of 2006, Meriza and I began building our store, our home, with the vision of creating a place of positive energy and love for the art and science of what we call High Performance Living - getting the most out of each and every minute. Together with my training partner, IFBB Pro Derik Farnsworth, we celebrate the power of the Fitness Triad - the 3 components of healthy living - Nutrition, Exercise, Healthy Supplementation - we use these 3 tools to help our customers, our family members achieve their goals and then set new ones.

Our clients and customers are diverse - both in age, in occupation, in lifestyle and in fitness level - we care for moms and businessmen, collegiate athletes and baby boomer athletes, professional bodybuilders and figure athletes and general fitness enthusiasts, individuals seeking serious weight loss and those seeking to build more muscle - but one thing all of our family members share is THE BRUTAL TRUTH - they share a passion, an honesty, and integrity.
Each and everyone of our family members knows that the only way to success is through hard work, smart work, consistency, and the ability to look at oneself in the mirror and be honest enough to assess both strengths and weaknesses...physical, mental and emotional. In other words, each of our 619 family is truly hardcore!

That's why at 619 MUSCLE, we truly are the Essence of Hardcore. Come visit us - there is no other store like us!
