Renee Petteruti - Certified Personal Trainer

Born to run? Maybe, but it wasn’t until Renee Petteruti added pumping iron – both the free weights and selectorized variety – that she got the kind of results she sought. Renee became interested in fitness in the early ‘90’s and began working out at Gibson’s. While for Renee the perfect day off includes a twelve to fifteen mile run, she steers her many training clients to a varied and balanced fitness program that includes mobility, strength and endurance activities.

Renee has a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and a New Jersey real estate license, in addition to being a NASM certified personal trainer here at Gibson’s Gym. She seeks out clients with all levels of fitness experience, and is able to relate to, and design programs for, all of them. When not working here at the gym – or running – Renee pursues a slew of activities, acknowledging a strong preference for wide open spaces.
