About Kosta.

Hi, I’m Kosta Drakoulakos, the Owner, Director and Coach of 747Fitness in Dandenong.

I have eleven years of experience in the fitness industry, and I have been a Mentor with AIPT since January 2022. I grew up in Melbourne with a keen interest in soccer and have carried that sporting interest into my fitness career. 

747Fitness was established in November 2011. It is a training gym that specialises in boxing, kickboxing, strength and conditioning and athlete development. We aim to deliver sessions that are challenging and rewarding whilst educating and creating an environment that builds friendship and trust. We are always on the lookout for new trainers that want to make a career out of fitness and offer weekly mentoring and upskilling as well as a rent-free facility for our trainers to utilise. 

In addition to 747Fitness, I have personally trained 750 athletes and 18 fighters to compete in boxing and kickboxing K1.

What inspired you to get into the Fitness Industry?

I became a personal trainer because I was passionate about helping people through strength training, with a focus on boxing and kickboxing. My advice for people wanting to take the leap into the fitness industry is to find the right mentor that is doing what you want to do and inspires you.

What do you love about your job?

I love helping my clients achieve better and healthier lifestyles. There is no industry better for this.

Why did you partner with AIPT?

I partnered with AIPT because I want to mentor the next generation of trainers. I want to help them come through their studies the right way and give them a step up to their career start.
