Greg Newlands is a fitness coach for founders and high performers who helps entrepreneurs get into elite shape without extreme diets, burnout, or unsustainable routines.
In this episode of The EXIT Podcast, Greg joins Adrian Salamunovic to break down the exact system that helped Adrian lose over 50 pounds, reclaim his energy, and stay consistent while running companies, traveling internationally, and operating under constant pressure.
This conversation is not about motivation.It’s about systems that work when life is chaotic.
Greg explains why most founders fail at fitness despite being disciplined, how calorie control and resistance training outperform trendy hacks, and why walking, protein intake, sleep, and accountability create predictable results over time.
If you’re a founder, executive, or high performer who knows fitness matters – but keeps postponing it “until after the exit” – this episode shows how to build a body that matches your ambition now.
