Dr. Ryan Greene - Monarch Athletic Clubs: Where Medicine Meets Movement - Fitness 2.0

Author: Eric Malzone December 12, 2025 Duration: 46:19

In this episode, Eric Malzone sits down with Dr. Ryan Greene, founder and CEO of Monarch Athletic Clubs. Dr. Greene shares his journey from exercise physiology and medical training to creating an all-in-one health club designed for true wellness—not just fitness. They dive into why our healthcare system is really a "sick care" system, how Monarch integrates medicine, personal training, recovery, and community under one roof, and the surprising reason their clubs stayed open during the pandemic. Dr. Greene also opens up about the future of longevity, the problem with having data but no actionable plan, and why mental health and authentic community are the next frontiers in health.

🔑 Key Takeaways

🧠 Healthcare should keep people healthy, not just treat sickness—Monarch is built on prevention, not reaction.
💪 True health is compound interest: small, consistent actions in movement, nutrition, and recovery create lifelong results.
🩺 Diagnostics without integration are just data—real change happens when testing is paired with personalized, human-guided action.
🤝 Community is more than group workouts—it's creating spaces for vulnerable conversations around mental health, parenthood, and purpose.
💸 Value over cost: For the price of a boutique gym + trainer + clinic, Monarch wraps everything into one membership with guided oversight.
🚀 The future of fitness is integrated: blending medical oversight, performance training, and mental well-being in spaces built for connection.
