I\u2019d be surprised if you haven\u2019t stumbled across Greg O\u2019 Gallagher yet.<\/h2>\n

Greg O’Gallagher is the founder of Kinobody and a YouTube personality. He has released various workout programs and has helped hundreds of people to get in better physical shape. Greg is indeed a big cheese in the fitness scene. He\u2019s well-known for his special approach on nutrition as he enjoys chocolate, french fries, ice cream and other foods which are considered as unhealthy while maintaining a muscular body. Moreover, not like most fitness enthusiasts, Greg doesn\u2019t supplement protein.<\/strong> Doesn\u2019t matter whether you want to gain muscle or lose body fat, Gregory O\u2019 Gallagher provides a workout system for everyone\u2019s desire. The most popular training systems are called Aggressive Fat Loss Program and Greek God Program. Recently, the Kinobody Bodyweight Mastery Program has been released and with that, he has entered the world of Calisthenics, Freeletics, and other bodyweight based Sports.<\/p>\n

Greg was willing to answer some questions about training and diet, and also provides an in-depth view into his daily everyday as business man.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Greg, tell us how you got in the fitness industry and more specifically, how you made a living from the hobby you like most, which is fitness?<\/h3>\n

I\u2019ve always been passionate about fitness, since I was a child. Once I learned that you could charge people to help them workout, aka, be a personal trainer, I knew I wanted to work in fitness\u2026 I started a personal training business at 18 years old. That said, it wasn\u2019t completely fulfilling, I knew I needed something more. The answer was to share my fitness approach with the world. I started sharing my workout and nutrition advice on my blog and youtube channel. Eventually people wanted me to create books.. I did.<\/p>\n

As you design workout programs, write fitness articles and record podcasts, you\u2019re not only a fitness enthusiast, but also a business man. People see you as someone more than just a personal trainer. You\u2019re kind of a mentor for them, a lifestyle coach. As what do you see yourself?<\/h3>\n

The longer I work in the fitness industry, the less and less I\u2019m interested in fitness.<\/strong> Once you figure things out and get a handle on how to achieve your fitness goals, it becomes a little redundant. I know how to help someone get down to 6% body fat, and absolutely enjoy it. I know how to help someone reshape their mental model to succeed. I know how to get someone to develop great muscle proportion and gain strength while staying lean\u2026<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve accomplished all my goals in the fitness field. So I find myself more keen on growing in different ways and sharing knowledge that goes beyond fitness and nutrition. So in the next couple years, I definitely see Kinobody evolving further, and becoming more of a total lifestyle brand. Which makes sense, because, my motif has always been fitness should enrich your life, not consume it. And I strongly believe in growing in multiple ways, and even making fitness a secondary goal. But beyond just sharing really great fitness and nutrition strategies, there\u2019s so much more that goes into that. As far as building Kinobody, I\u2019ve had to learn to become a great writer, speaker and motivator.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had to learn how to motivate and inspire people and how to deeply connect with them. I\u2019ve had to learn how to make people downright pumped up to start one of my programs. Now as things go on, I want to open the doors to helping people in more ways. In teaching them how to achieve the life of their dreams. Not just the perfect body, but the total package. So I don\u2019t really have an identity I have given myself yet. I\u2019d rather not define it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Quite frankly, I consider yourself as a successful person. You have not only created a body which is admirable, but also a business out of it. What has been the hardest part on your way to success?<\/h3>\n

There hasn\u2019t really been a hardest part\u2026 Nothing really strikes me as extremely hard about it. I absolutely love what I do and I have a strong vision of where I want to go\u2026 When you love what you do and you have a powerful vision of where you are going, there\u2019s nothing really hard. There\u2019s no struggle. That said, the hardest thing I have achieved, hasn\u2019t been in business directly, but rather in fitness.<\/p>\n

The hardest thing I have achieved was learning how to stay at 6-8% body fat, while absolutely loving live. It took years of struggle, years of failure, years of self-hatred, until I finally found the light. It wasn\u2019t just a fitness \/ nutrition thing, much of what I learned was taking on the mindset and outlook. This is also, what largely, has led to the success of my brand. When people are introduced to Kinobody, they fall in love. They tell their friends, their entire life is improved. They\u2019re reaching their goals and enjoying life to the utmost.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s now speak about your workout programs. From Aggressive Fat Loss, Warrior Shredding Program, Greek God Program and more, you offer a wide variety of different programs. What are the differences of them and how do I know which one I should buy?<\/h3>\n

I think it\u2019s important to preface that I created each program for myself. I had a specific goal, and I crafted a full blown program together for myself, to achieve my goals\u2026 So I\u2019ve used each and every program for several months to achieve a specific result. And to this day, I\u2019m always following some program or a variation of it\u2026. The Aggressive Fat Loss Program is great if someone\u2019s main goal is to lean up quickly, and they\u2019re not as concerned with gaining muscle or strength. If someone wants to lean up, but optimize strength and physique development at the same time, the Warrior Shredding Program would be the better bet. If you\u2019re already lean and you want to gain strength and great muscle size and proportion, the Greek God Program is the best program. My most advanced muscle building program is the Superhero Bulking Program, which I love. I\u2019ve used it to add a ton of size to my shoulders and arms, two areas I\u2019ve struggled with. But it\u2019s best to wait until you develop a good level of strength and size first. Hence, why I don\u2019t talk about it as much as the Greek God Program. Each program is similar in a lot of ways, but also different. The calories and macros, change with each respective goal and program. The amount of training volume is adjusted in each program\u2026 And frankly, it\u2019s good to have different workout program set ups, for long term progress. Your body needs<\/p>\n

Could you give us an overview on your current training regime?<\/h3>\n

I\u2019m in the process of adjusting my program for fun\u2026 But recently it\u2019s been two workouts per week, like so\u2026. On Monday I do the following:<\/p>\n
