"Zack George is a true inspiration" - Eric Roza, CEO, CrossFit
Zack George is a renowned fitness expert, best known for being crowned the ‘UK’s Fittest Man’ in 2020. As a speaker, Zack is inspiring and motivational, drawing from his personal journey of transformation. One of his most significant achievements includes his rise from an overweight child to a top-tier CrossFit athlete and television personality, recently joining the rebooted TV show, Gladiators as ‘Steel’ where he stars alongside fellow athletes such as Harry Aikines-Aryeetey and Jodie Ounsley.
Zack had a challenging start, with his early years were marked by struggles with obesity, which he attributes to a childhood of overindulgence in fast food and sweets. However, a pivotal moment in his teenage years, sparked by a motivational challenge set by his father, led Zack to embark on a journey of fitness and self-discovery. His transformation was further cemented after attending Tony Robbins' seminar, 'Unleash The Power Within', which inspired him to take control of his health and fitness. Zack’s early career involved personal training and the eventual discovery of CrossFit, which became his passion and career focus. In his twenties, he became a certified personal trainer and subsequently founded the CrossFit BFG gym in 2017.
Zack’s career is punctuated by several notable achievements. In 2020, he earned the title of the UK’s Fittest Man after dominating the CrossFit Open, where he placed 1st in the UK and 26th globally. Despite a hip injury in 2021, Zack made a strong comeback, leading his team to the CrossFit Semifinals in 2022. In 2021, Zack became a published author, releasing his book Start Where Others Stop: 9 Strategies for Optimising Your Mind. Zack is also renowned as the Founder of Zacktiv, a national initiative teaching children about the importance of fitness, confidence, nutrition and mindset. Beyond fitness, Zack has forged success as a skilled property investor, using his skills to educate others on investing and navigating the property market.

“Zack delivered an incredibly inspiring session on ‘Turning Adversity into Action’ for our Tech & Transformation Flourish programme for Mental Health Awareness Week. His powerful story of resilience and getting back up after curveballs, resonated deeply with our audience of over 200 people. Zack’s session was so practical and uplifting, we have had so much feedback saying it’s given people the kick they needed to set clearer goals & smaller habits and work through their self limiting beliefs. The attendees were genuinely moved and motivated, with feedback such as ‘So so inspiring!’, ‘Thank you, this has made my day’, and ‘Amazing, highly practical session!’ Many people highlighted it as a ‘Fantastic & super motivating session!!’ that provided immediate, actionable takeaways. Zack’s has such a strong ability to connect and empower, drawing from his own experiences with setbacks and grief, it truly made this a stand out event for us. We’re so grateful for his openness and the insights he shared. We’ll be working with Zack again in the future, we highly recommend him for corporate wellbeing sessions! It’s so inspiring to see someone who has so much purpose and meaning in their work and life, and how Zack channels so much of what he has learned into helping future generations live healthy and fulfilling lives.
