The Value of Real-World Education with Oliver Wood

Oliver (Olly) Wood got started in the business world after seven years as an independent personal trainer. And as he started online, he rapidly built a company up to over 15 staff members, helping thousands of clients upgrade their bodies, energy and productivity. Using a four-step system - which he shares with us - his ability to take complicated topics and simplify them down into actionable steps (which you can integrate into your busy lifestyle) is what makes him a world-class coach.

Olly coaches busy professionals over 40 to upgrade their gut health to transform their bodies and energy. By stepping back and realizing this game isn’t simply just about doing more and working harder, he removes the restrictions of dieting and coaches them through a proven framework. This framework allows his clients to feel stronger, more energetic and more capable.

During the conversation, Olly shares with us how he approaches clients who are new to exercise vs clients who have been exercising for years. He also gets into how to make “the coach’s bias unperceivable,” as Erin puts it. He also gets deep into how to motivate clients beyond just focusing on their fitness outcome which involves establishing goals at the very beginning. 

Olly is a health expert with a deep background in business and health. Along with a deep background in gut health, biomechanics, leadership, mindfulness, and nutrition. We have a lot to learn from Olly.
