Although we have the highest adult gym participation in US history, we are also experiencing the most elevated rates of obesity and lifestyle diseases. Why is this happening? Aren't gyms supposed to keep us healthy?

Whole Health Club founders believe that gyms (on their own) don't work, and they figured out what's the structural piece of the puzzle missing.

In today's episode, I'm joined by the brilliant Sam Grantham, CIO of Whole Health Club, to discuss this disruptive company's unique approach to health and wellness. After a wild leap of faith Sam and his partners Paige and Chase Parker took, they built Whole Health Club, a true transformation center. Sam describes Whole Health Club as a preventive care center masqueraded as a gym, where students will find personalized programs, committed coaches, and a kitchen onsite that will teach them what and how to eat.

Throughout our conversation, Sam shares his entrepreneurial journey, how he and his partners came up with the idea of putting a kitchen in a gym, and the challenges they had to overcome to make their dream come true. We also discuss Whole Health Club's services, like cooking classes and unlimited mental health support. We also touch on why it is so hard to get and stay in shape, Sam's future plans, and much more.
