John Petrelli has been a professional fitness coach for over 30 years, having worked alongside some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry, from Grammy-Award-winning recording artists to A-list Hollywood actors. He and his work have been featured in Men's Health, Men's Fitness, Muscle & Fitness, GQ, and Vogue, and shown on national television networks including NBC, CBS, The USA Network, and FOX TV.

In 2021, John's life took an unexpected turn when he became paralyzed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), a rare autoimmune disease that landed him in the ICU.

With a lifestyle so heavily dependent on physical health and wellbeing, John needed to rely on his mental strength to overcome this disease. Through this experience the book "Confessions of a Hollywood Trainer" was born. An instant Amazon #1 New release followed by the release of a Teen Edition in 2024.

John has dedicated his new lease on life to helping others find their inner strength to overcome the obstacles they are facing.
