Glenn Phipps shares his philosophy on movement, mobility, and longevity, emphasizing the importance of questioning mainstream ideas and focusing on personalized, evidence-based practices. We explore topics like breath awareness, fascia, and the impact of social media on health trends.

Glenn Phipps is an in-demand Exercise Physiologist who helps trainers, athletes and answer-hungry humans navigate the confusing world of exercise science, so they can avoid mindless mobility and bro-science. Having helped a long list of clientele from world champion athletes to the always injured, and even consulting with military and fitness products, he is passionate about sharing his unique take on improving movement capacity. 

He has appeared on ESPN, Fox Sports and written for a range of publications including Men’s Health, Women’s Health and Fitness, and many more. When not writing bio’s in the 3rd person, he is doing his best to convince his body that it is still 20 years old, in order to continue to push hard through his outdoor and water-based passions.
