Background

Cory Gregory is a fitness entrepreneur who opened his first gym at the age of 20 from money he saved as an underground coal miner. After 10 years of personal training he co-founded sports-nutrition giant MusclePharm, which he led for eight years. During that span Cory appeared on 11 magazine covers and achieved a pair of elite totals in powerlifting. Cory has competed in more than 15 bodybuilding competitions and 30 powerlifting meets.

Cory has an exercise specialist degree from Columbia State College, a NESTA fitness and nutrition coach certification, a Crossfit L1 trainer accreditation and is Westside Barbell certified.
