What You’ll Learn

It’s the New Year! You probably want a better level of health and fitness, not to mention look a little better naked. But there's so much conflicting information out there that you might not know where to start.

What's the best way to lose weight? How do I build muscle? How do I lose that belly flab?Are carbs evil? Do I need to go on some crazy diet and exercise 3 hours a day? Ahhhhh!

In this class, we'll answer all those questions and more. We will focus on fundamental, research-backed principles that you can apply immediately to start taking better control of your body.

This class is perfect for anyone who wants to feel better, look better, and get more out of their daily lives. After this class, you’ll see yourself and the world with a new set of eyes. You’ll have an understanding of nutrition and exercise that will make sure you always know what to do to reach your goals. Bonus: we’ll also show you how to stick to the right behaviors in the long term.

No prior knowledge is required. All we ask is an open mind and a desire to make some positive changes :)

This class will be taught by myself and my Fitocracy co-founder Richard Talens. Fitocracy is a social network that empowers and motivates anyone to reach their fitness goals.

*ENDORSEMENTS FROM PAST STUDENTS*

“Brian Wang (and fellow teacher Dick Talens) are, for lack of a better word, gods. Or, at least god-like. Or maybe it's just that like the gods in Disney's Hercules, they have a shiny yellow glow. Either way, take whatever they're teaching & you won't be disappointed. Because they can glow. And that's something you just don't see every day.”

~ Derek Flanzraich, CEO & Founder of Greatist

"Leave all of your beliefs about diet and exercise at the door. Dick dispels several myths spread by the fitness industry with scientific research studies. He also provides simple fat loss or muscle building guidelines that are easy to adhere to. Dick is also more than willing to stay after class to answer any additional questions or provide more personalized recommendations or advice to any of the students that seek it."

~Pamela Ocampo

“Brian provided amazing insight and real world examples of how to apply his structure to anyones life. It was great to learn from him.”

~Bryan Barletta

About Your Teacher
Brian Wang · Cofounder of Fitocracy. Get addicted to fitness.

Brian Wang is cofounder and CEO at Fitocracy. He became interested in fitness when he realized that all the video game playing he had been doing in high school turned him into a skinny nerd who didn’t get outside very much. So he swapped his addiction for video games with an addiction for strength training and bodybuilding. Prior to Fitocracy, he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and spent two years working in management consulting.

Richard Talens is cofounder and Chief Growth Officer at Fitocracy, where he leads user acquisition and engagement. He's been actively bodybuilding for over 7 years and has a wealth of experience experimenting with a variety of dietary and exercise approaches. Over time he has learned how to manipulate the human body to burn fat and build muscle as quickly as possible. His journey has taken him from obesity to a lean, muscular build. He has successfully helped multiple clients both lower their body fat as well as increase muscle mass through intelligent, sensible diet strategies and training principles.

Fitocracy is a social network that empowers and motivates anyone to reach their fitness goals. Whether you've never exercised a day in your life or you're an advanced athlete, Fitocracy makes fitness possible through gamification, community, and personal guidance. It has a user base of over half a million people across iOS, Android, and web. Use Fitocracy to become the best version of you.
