With more than seven years’ experience as a fitness education provider, Petrohilos (pictured) is committed to upholding the highest professional development standards, in order to further educate the fitness industry as a whole via his online education platform, Fitness Education Online.

In the last two years alone, Petrohilos’ commitment to upskilling and professional development has seen him attend seven fitness conferences, three personal development conventions, two public speaking/communication skills workshops, six social media/marketing conventions, complete two CEC courses and hire two business coaches.
