About Santo Chiappetta
I’ve been in your shoes
Hi, I’m Santo!
I am a certified personal trainer, and a lifestyle & behavior coach who has (as you can see from my photo) also had his own challenges with his weight in the past.
I used to compete in competitive amateur boxing, and at one point would fluctuate in weight anywhere from 20 - 30 pounds between competitions.
After my boxing career, I decided that if I wanted to start making better decisions, not only for the short term but also for the long term as well. I would encourage people to sign up with me for personal training in person, when I myself didn’t even have a coach.
I felt as if this was disingenuous of me to be asking people to not only invest in, but take part of a process I wasn’t participating in.
Now I help high-performing men and women lose weight & keep it off permanently in a sustainable way.

WHy I Do WHat I do
One of my client’s transformations
I started working as a personal trainer & boxing coach in 2010, and gained thousands of hours of experience both one-on-one with clients as well as in group & corporate settings.
In 2015, I started online training with one client who was keen to work online, as in-person training was not a cost-effective option for him, but still wanted to train. He is still an online client today.
Since then, I’ve helped hundreds of people online improve their overall strength, body composition & relationship with food. They now live life with more confidence in themselves, and their choices in activity and food.
