We recently connected with Gregg McLeod and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Gregg, thanks for joining us today. We’d love to have you retell us the story behind how you came up with the idea for your business, I think our audience would really enjoy hearing the backstory.
Green Beret Fitness (GBF) was founded in 2018 by former British Army Officer and Green Beret, Gregg McLeod. Gregg spent 15 years in the Army, completing his Green Beret Commando course in 2010. His final two years were spent working with the United Kingdom Special Forces in London, England.
“People are capable of more than they think” was the starting ethos, and from that belief, Green Beret Fitness was born. The methods and tactics used in Green Beret Fitness Events are selected to take everyday warriors to their physical and mental limits. Teamwork plays a critical role in the military and it is no different in our events.
We wanted events that were different. We wanted them to be hard. We wanted people to be pushed to their limits and come away stronger for the experience.
Gregg, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I spent over 15 years in the British Military working across the world on operations and training. I realized there is a niche market for people who seek challenge and adventure in arduous but beautiful locations.
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
We started our business in early 2020, just as COVID hit. We had to scale back, reduce the money we were spending and aim to keep the community interested through social media and the hope of getting back into the mountains soon.
Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?
We aim to be as realistic as possible to our roots as British Military and Special Forces. We put the people before the profit and our events are renowned for being very challenging.
