About

Peter Parasiliti, MS, CSCS*D

From diabetes & nonprofit work…

Having been living with Type I diabetes since the age of 9, fitness and exercise have always been an integral part of my diabetes management to prevent long term complications.

I have always been interested in understanding and helping people and thus pursued an undergraduate degree in Sociology. I worked for several years in the non-profit sector focusing on preparing foster youth for emancipation via educational workshops on life skills.
