TMZ has learned that the man who was stabbed at the home of celebrity fitness guru Gunnar Peterson has pleaded not guilty to felony assault charges stemming from the violent incident last December.
23-year-old Nick Marino, who is free on $300,000 bail, entered the plea at Beverly Hills Courthouse earlier today. Marino was stabbed by a security guard with a pocket knife after allegedly breaking into Peterson's Beverly Hills mansion.
Sources tell TMZ that Marino and Gunnar's estranged wife, Janet Crown Peterson, were at one point romantically involved, but the relationship ended roughly five months ago. Janet then alleged in court documents that Marino stalked her and threatened violence.
Neither Gunnar nor Janet were home at the time of the stabbing. If convicted, Marino could face up to four years in jail. He is due back in court March 8.

TMZ has learned that the man who allegedly stalked the estranged wife of the trainer to the stars was stabbed with a pocket knife after a brutal fight. Here's how it all went down...
Gunnar Peterson, who has trained numerous stars, including Nick Lachey, Matt McConaughey and Jennifer Lopez, is in the middle of a bitter divorce and custody fight with Janet Peterson, an heiress to a $4 billion fortune. After the couple split, the 43-year-old Janet began seeing 23-year-old Nick Marino, but broke off the relationship around four months ago. It was then that Marino allegedly began stalking Janet. We're told Marino left numerous phone messages for Janet threatening her life and promising to "take her children."
Enter Scott Ross, P.I. to the stars who works exclusively with mega-lawyer Mark Geragos. Sources say Janet called Ross late last week and told her she was in fear for her life and that Marino was an imminent threat. Ross then referred Janet to a company called The Solution Group, which conducts threat assessments, investigations and provides VIP security.

TMZ has obtained exclusive photos of Nick Marino, the man stabbed Wednesday night at celebrity trainer Gunnar Peterson's Beverly Hills home. The photos were apparently part of a June 2006 photo shoot.
According to sources connected to Gunnar, the Peterson family took 23-year-old Nick "under their wing" and tried to help him get on his feet. Soon after, however, many close to the family felt that something was amiss with Marino. One source even called Marino "creepy."
This morning, Gunnar told Portland's Z100 Buck Head radio show that he was getting rid of the house where the attack occurred. "I'm sticking a 'For Sale' sign in the yard and getting out of Dodge." Peterson also said he was afraid for the well-being of his children. "The first concern is that the kids are safe, being far away is frustrating and frightening."
