Today, the Fitness Academy Europe family stands united in support of one of our own.
Just few years ago, PC Johann Vella proudly graduated from Fitness Academy Europe in Malta, earning his qualifications as a Fitness Instructor, Certified Personal Trainer, Nutrition Coach, and Functional Training Specialist. Throughout his journey with us, Johann demonstrated the same dedication, discipline, and commitment to helping others that defined his service to the community.
Last year, the Malta Police Force honoured Johann with the Health & Wellness Advocate Award, after he was nominated by his own colleagues for his outstanding dedication, integrity, and unwavering commitment to the wellbeing of those around him. He was recognised as a passionate advocate for both physical and mental health, inspiring others to embrace fitness and wellbeing as part of everyday life.
Today, our hearts are heavy as Johann fights for his life after being critically injured while courageously carrying out his duties during this morning's incident in St Julian's.
Johann, you have inspired so many peopleβboth in uniform and beyond. Now it is our turn to stand behind you.
On behalf of everyone at Fitness Academy Europe, we send our deepest thoughts, prayers, and strength to Johann, his family, his friends, his colleagues in the Malta Police Force, and everyone affected by this tragic event.
Stay strong, Johann. Your FAE family is with you every step of the way. π
