TESTIMONIALS
Everything is attainable with the proper knowledge, consistent work and passion.
“The best trainer in the business. He keeps me in tip top condition on tour and more importantly he is a positive influence in my life”
Sebastian Maniscalco
“Johnny - I know you love to sing (I do too). This is a small gift to you (whom I admire and respect). My trips to the gym in the morning have been made special by your kindness and friendship. Bless you John.”
Your Pal,
John M.
“I’ve been with John since the Fast and Furious. He’s helped me get in shape - stay healthy - more than anything - he helped me understand how my body works.
He has not only been my trainer but we are dear friends.”
Rick Yune
“John is the best trainer in the world in my mind. I’ve trained with many people but not anyone that I still call a good friend. The biggest thing that makes him different is how much he truly cares about you and what your goals are. And he focuses on every area of your being to help you get there. Working in Hollywood sometimes requires molding your body to fit a certain form. I can say with you, I've never second guessed that I can achieve that.
Your the best brotha,”
Hunter Ives
“Training with John has literally saved and changed my life, its a perfect fit, no pun intended. it never gets boring as we mix it up a lot from weights to martial arts to pure fitness stuff he keeps it real. When you train with john you are getting real life fitness and strength not gym fitness and strength sure you gonna look good but you gonna be functional too. You’ll be ready for whatever the world can throw at you and thats why we’ve been working out together for over a decade he’s more than a trainer he’s family.”
Ziggy Marley
“John Petrelli is a fantastic trainer and person. He knows how to challenge his clients and keep them motivated and working towards their fitness goals. He cares about his clients and never hesitates to go the extra mile (or five) to address specific needs and concerns. As an added bonus, he is a funny and interesting guy. On days when the last thing I want to do is workout, spending an hour with John is motivation enough to get me to gym.”
Jen Pollack Bianco
“My story is a long one as I am soon to be 75 but, thanks to John Petrelli, feel like I’m 45. I have worked with John for almost 13 years and to my benefit, he has kept me focused on improving my body (and thus my mind) in many ways. His caring, but disciplined approach to training, is committed to excellence.”
A beneficiary,
Michael Barker
“I started working with John in March of 2020 when all the gym’s had closed due to the pandemic. During our first meeting he did a complete assessment and we talked about my short term and long term goals.
John is an active listener and took all the information I gave him to formulate a systematic plan to help me attain my goals. I was 220 pound and I knew I need to get healthier and leaner so I could work an extra ten years if needed.
He challenged me and helped me accomplish things I’d never thought possible. With a major adjustment to my nutrition and my new training regemin - I attained my goal of 195 pounds and 16% body fat in 2 1/2 months.
Thanks John for all you’ve done for me and my family. I look forward to our continued success and friendship.”
Eddie V
“John approaches training and fitness in a manner which made the experience enjoyable. I was able to achieve my goals with his holistic program which includes training and focusing on nutritious foods.”
Garrett Nelson
Healthy aging of the brain and body depends a lot on a life style of physical exercise, good nutrition, and stimulating mental activities. As a personal trainer, John Petrelli is a master in helping others to achieve all three. Over the 81 years of my life, I have hired a number of personal trainers to help me achieve good health because of my limited time outside of working full time as a physician. John Petrelli scores as the BEST! He has the credentials to score highly, but more importantly, he makes it fun. Every session is full of variety and never boring. In addition he is a good person to the bone, strong and caring about helping others. To boot, he has quickly become a good friend.

Outside the gym
Technology used properly definitely serves a purpose BUT my wife and I have come to realize the importance of connecting with nature and our friends and family. We believe it's imperative to pass this philosophy on to our youth. Creating a connection that ties nutritional awareness and knowledge, with physical movement and community.
