Hi, I'm Gregory Rupelli

My name is Gregory Rupelli — I am a lifelong student and teacher of health and fitness, a personal trainer, and the creator of Helot Fitness.

At the age of three I started playing organized sports. At eleven, my dad taught me how to do my first bicep curls in our basement. After high school I continued to play sports recreationally, became more invested in my health and fitness, and began training my friends and family. In 2019 I finally decided it was time to make a career out of training, became a nationally certified personal trainer through ACE, and haven't looked back.

In 2016 my reality was flipped on its head. I became sick to the point I was unable to get proper nutrition, and it took two years to reach a diagnosis of histamine intolerance. It then took another 8 years to learn how to manage my condition and maintain a healthy, functional life. For me, health and fitness isn't a convenience — it's a necessary component to my life that cannot be overlooked if I wish to truly live. I've learned all of the metrics that aid in improving our physical condition, but through experience I've learned what fitness truly is: connection. Fitness is one of the purest ways to connect to yourself, your body, the earth, and the people around you. More than our muscles, it is the essence of being human. The fitter you are, the more of yourself you get to be. There are aspects of yourself you never get to unlock, versions of yourself you will not meet until you confront your health, your mortality, and your accountability. But that's the wonderful thing about training. You don't have to do it alone. We build together, and I hope you'll build with me.
