Gavin Meenan on Transitioning from PT to Modern Warrior Coach, Building Retreats into Your 1:1 Coaching and Rewards of Serving People on a Deeper Level! 

Today on the podcast:

In this episode, I sit down in person with Gavin Meenan from Modern Warrior to discuss his journey from personal trainer to holistic coach and retreat leader.

Gavin shares his experience transitioning beyond traditional PT work to create the Modern Warrior methodology—a deeper approach to transformation that integrates physical training with mindset and personal development.

We dive into how Gavin built retreats into his coaching model, the practical steps for fitness professionals looking to add retreat experiences to their business, and why this format creates such powerful transformations for clients.

Most importantly, Gavin opens up about the rewards of serving people on a deeper level—moving beyond just physical results to facilitate genuine life change. If you’ve ever felt called to do more meaningful work with your clients or wondered how to elevate your coaching beyond the gym floor, this conversation is for you.
