John's Bio

For over 30 years, John Petrelli has trained some of the biggest names in entertainment—from Grammy-winning artists to A-list Hollywood actors. His career as a top fitness expert in Los Angeles gave him a front-row seat to the demands of high performance, both physical and mental. In 2021, John’s life took a dramatic turn when he was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), a rare autoimmune disease that left him paralyzed and in the ICU. With his career rooted in physical strength, he had to rely entirely on his mindset to recover. During this life-changing experience, he wrote his first book, Confessions of a Hollywood Trainer, which became an Amazon #1 New Release. John now dedicates his life to helping others overcome adversity, build resilience, and unlock their true potential—just as he did. Whether speaking to corporate teams or young adults, his message is clear: the power to transform your life starts with mastering your mind.
