The Power of Calisthenics, Climbing Everest, and Building a Coaching Business with Glenn Cowden

In this inspiring episode of Behind the Underdogs, we sit down
with Glenn Bowden to dive into his journey from troubled
beginnings to fitness coaching and summiting Mount Everest. Glenn
shares how his brother’s tough love led him to discover the
transformative power of fitness, particularly calisthenics, and
how the gym became his safe haven.


We talk about his commitment to training, focusing on bodyweight
exercises, the importance of sleep for recovery, and his drive to
be a well-rounded athlete. Glenn takes us on his trek up Mount
Everest, detailing the challenges of altitude, the strength of
the local sherpas, and the 12-day hike after their plane was
grounded due to weather.


As a fitness coach, Glenn discusses the pitfalls of the
influencer space and his desire to guide people beyond monetary
success. He emphasizes the joy in building something meaningful
and shares the life lesson that the hardest times are often not
what they seem. Glenn wraps up with advice we can all take to
heart: keep moving forward, achieve your goals, and never stop
growing.
