Early life:
He was born as Gregory O’Gallagher on September 22, 1986 in Toronto. Almost every member of his family and friends called him Greg and this remained a nickname of his later on in his career.
Even as a young boy he showed interest in active playing and exercising which was connected to his passionate collecting of action figures of people he admired. He was only ten when his father Michael granted him his wish and bought him dumbells for his first serious workout.
In 2002 he encountered a very tragic event when his loving father died, leaving him, his mother Alanne and four siblings to cope with the situation. He has three brothers and a sister, and he gets along great with them. They all found their way of handling their father’s death: Greg worked out even harder.
His father was involved in buying, selling and renting properties so his mother continued this business in order to support the family as the new provider.
At the age of 13 he seriously started thinking about buying a workout programme because he was bored with his own everyday routine. He begged his mother until she granted the wish and bought him the program as a Christmas present.
At the age of 15 he brought his first personal training book and started collecting informations about bodybuilding. He wanted to become serious with his interests and thought that he could even become a full-time employee in the niche. Turns out he was right.
He was looking for someone to train with him, but his brothers weren’t interested. They are training now, surely, but back then they didn’t want to waste time.
He started his Youtube channel, posting his workouts on the web and sharing his progress with the viewers. He eventually closed down the channel because he didn’t know how to handle nor good of bad attention he received.
He found people from school to workout with him, so he was encouraged by it.
He opened up his Kinobody website and his career began. From that moment on, he pretty much only became bigger and better in his niche.
He became a student on the University of Guelpf in his hometown Toronto but he soon dropped out, after he find out that business studies just weren’t his type of work. He was on his way to become a businessman but his passion took him elsewhere. He had a feeling that his passion for training will become his business.
Career development:
In 2006, he decided to join the other trainers on Social media platforms so he launched his own channel. It took him 3 years to become serious about it and to post his first video online.
