Today we’d like to introduce you to Chris Petraglia.
Hi Chris, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I started my career in training after tearing my labrum and rotator cuff. This led me into the world of rehab and strength and conditioning. My goal when I became a trainer was to help adolescent athletes stay healthy so they would never have to lose the sport they love like I did. I got certified through a company called NFPT. Then I got my master trainer certification. Then I opened a gym in White Plains, NY. I started teaching the certified personal trainer course for NFPT years later. I’ve certified hundreds of trainers and written and contributed to several continuing education courses for nationally accredited certifications including NASM, ACE, ACSM, NFPT.
In 2014 I enlisted with Army and was attached to the 1/69th infantry regiment in NY. I was a medic (68w). I never deployed but it was an amazing learning experience.
About 2 yrs ago we moved to FL and I’ve been growing locally and using my student athletes that I train to build within the community but also offer a way for kids to make money doing what they love. I’ve been training for 21years and would never do anything else. This year we launched our virtual training platform that offers flexible, convenient and affordable training to busy professionals and moms and dads.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
For the most part it has been smooth however, moving to a new place means you let go of your old connections and networks. Starting fresh wasn’t easy and it was time consuming but we’ve made incredible new friends and business partners
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Next Level Health and Wellness?
