Tony Greco and Leanne Cusack on CTV News at Noon – July 5th, 2011. Getting the Ottawa Firefighters from fit to Shredded and Ripped for “Boys of Fire” Calendar.

Tony Greco and Sarah Freemark – A day in the life of Tony Greco:
* Train Pro Athletes * Workout  * Fresh seafood * The best espresso in little Italy * Back to the gym

On a Wednesday in suburban Kanata, the air is fresh, a carryover from a welcome cool night, the mid-morning sun not yet burning hot.

Tell it to the six hockey players inside the Greco training facility, sweat rolling off their faces as they dance along a floor ladder (think about old schoolyard games of hop scotch), music pounding in their ears so loud it’s impossible to think. (That’s generally good, when hockey players aren’t thinking). Ripping through the ladder, dancing in and out of the squares, at three-quarters speed, on the heels of 30 minutes of dynamic weightlifting exercises, would be tough enough.

But Tony Greco and his fellow instructors – one per player at this session – turn the ladder into a gauntlet, literally pushing the players during the footwork drills, calling on their core strength to maintain balance. Now they’re yanking on the players via straps lassoed around the shoulders. Makes sense. Being pushed and pulled while trying to execute a skill is a lot like hockey isn’t it?

“You can always do better than you think you can,” bellows Tony Greco above the blaring music. “Give it! Give it!”

To enhance effort, he talks tough during the sessions, but afterward he sits on the gym apparel and chats easily with these players, who range from an established NHLer like Claude Giroux to others looking to get to another level.

“It sucks while you’re here, but the results are worth it,” says Calvin de Haan, a 20-year-old defenceman from Carp drafted 12th overall by the New York Islanders in 2009. “I really enjoy working with Tony and the other trainers here are great as well.”

GREELY — Seven hundred heartbroken kids at a rural Ottawa school were all smiles Thursday knowing they will be getting their play structures back.

Students at Castor Valley Elementary School had one play structure taken away for safety reasons and the only remaining one destroyed by an arsonist last September. The kids then launched a petition drive pushing the school council into a vigorous fundraising effort to replace them.

To the cheers of students, the school council announced Thursday it had raised the $90,000 needed to build one play structure for junior and intermediate students and another for primary students.

The yearlong fundraising effort came to a swift end this week after Ottawa fitness guru Tony Greco read about the school’s plight in The Citizen and donated the final $10,000 through his Foundation to Fight Obesity in Children.

The play structures should both be in place in time for the first day of school in September, less than a year after the arson, said Heather Wilson, chairwoman of the school council.

“It will be a great way to start the year,” she said. “The plan was to try to raise the money this year, but it was an incredibly big goal to do in one year so I am just overjoyed that we have been able to achieve this in this time frame.”

Greco personally delivered the cheque, saying his charitable foundation to fight childhood obesity could fulfil its goals by helping to keep kids at Castor Valley active. He said he became concerned when he read that the school was struggling to raise funds for something as basic as play structures.

“I just can’t see how these kids can go through life not able to go out there and play and really enjoy that experience that I did when I was a child,” said Greco.
