In this episode of Founders Future, with host Milan Kohut, we’re joined by George Rea, founder of Unified Coaching, an online fitness and physique transformation brand. George shares his journey from working in bars and construction to becoming a personal trainer and competitive bodybuilder. After realizing the limitations of in-person training, he transitioned into online coaching to expand his impact and better support clients beyond the gym floor. His background in hands-on coaching helped shape a people-first philosophy rooted in accountability, lifestyle change, and long-term results.

George explains how Unified Coaching helps clients across all ages—from everyday lifestyle clients to physique-focused individuals—through his signature Unity Method, which combines training, nutrition, biometrics, and weekly check-ins. The conversation explores the realities of scaling a coaching business, navigating a saturated fitness market, building trust through organic content, and balancing ambition with family priorities. George also shares his personal definition of success, focusing on sustainable income, time freedom, and creating a life where he can fully show up for his family.
