How Gareth Splits Online and In-Person Work

Gareth Sapstead is a strength and performance coach, author, and the founder of EPT Lab.

For 20 years, Gareth has worked with Olympians, world champions, and high-performing professionals who all had the same problem: plenty of drive, but no margin for guesswork.

His work focuses on building strength, health, and physiques that don't fall apart when life gets busy, because results that can't be sustained don't count.

 He is an author, writer, and international speaker whose work has been featured in The New York Times, Muscle & Fitness, Men's Fitness, and Men's Health.
