Guy Petruzzelli does not exactly take the path of least resistance. Tough south side kids like Guy tend to need to be hit by a car to heed their parent's advice. That's just what happened to Guy. His Dad wanted him in law school. Guy wanted to pursue being a professional Triathlete.

Being hit by a car on a training ride changed his fate. Or did it? Guy woke up a week later in the hospital and began the long slow road to recovery. His triathlon career was surely over.

Guy went on to Law school and became a successful attorney in the Mortgage industry. Something was missing though. A successful career had left him with a couple bucks in his pocket, anxiety, depression and about 50 extra pounds. It took a severe panic attack at the age of 30 to help him decide to make a change. He decided to get back on his path from the decade earlier and pursue multi-sport. 

Guy wasn't quite done with cars though. In 2010 he was hit again. This time being hit brought him to CrossFit to recover where he found his other calling in life. Guy's belief in CrossFit Endurance (CFE) was featured in Outside Magazine in 2013.

On top of being a professional Duathlete, Guy is a level 1 coach at CrossFit Iron Flag.
