From CPA to 10X Fitness Leader: Meet Russ Yeager of Fitness Together
Russ Yeager isn’t your typical fitness coach—he’s a former CPA turned body transformation expert and high-performance business coach. As the owner of two Fitness Together personal training studios in Georgia and a global peak performance coach, Russ helps entrepreneurs reclaim their health and build sustainable success.
In Episode 163 of the Clicks & Bricks Podcast, Russ shares how a childhood experience being called “husky” sparked his lifelong journey toward fitness—and how that journey ultimately led him to the stage with business titans like Grant Cardone and John Maxwell.
Top Takeaways from Russ Yeager’s Episode:
- From Numbers to Nutrition: Russ transitioned from corporate accounting to fitness coaching by betting on himself, entering a body transformation contest, and building a six-pack—and a new life.
- Your Health is Your Greatest Business Asset: Entrepreneurs who invest in their health show up stronger in leadership, decision-making, and energy levels.
- The $1 Billion Equipment Analogy: Treat your body like a billion-dollar machine—you wouldn’t run it 24/7 without maintenance.
- Fail Fast, Act Faster: Russ lives by the “ready, fire, aim” mentality. Take action before perfection—mistakes are part of the win.
- Getting on the Grant Cardone Stage: Russ didn’t wait for permission—he created his own stage, delivered real value, and won the opportunity of a lifetime to speak in front of 13,000 people at 10X GrowthCon.
