High Intensity Interview of the Month: Greg Anderson
Our special guest for the month of March is the owner of Ideal Exercise in Seattle, Washington, Greg Anderson.
Greg has been involved in High Intensity Training for a long, long time, both in his own training and as a gym owner and personal trainer. His facility, Ideal Exercise, is chock full of awesome equipment, and probably more Nautilus equipment than most NFL facilities I have been in.
He and his wife, Ann-Marie, personally train around 200 people a week in High Intensity fashion–the only protocol used at Ideal Exercise. Their trainees include professional athletes, firefighters, housewives, senior citizens, and everything in between.
Listen in as Greg educates us on:
- The evolution of Nautilus equipment through the years
- The tragic event that got him started on High Intensity Training
- His friendships with Mike Mentzer, Ellington Darden, Ken Hutchins, Bradley Steiner, and Dan Riley-and what he learned from them
- What “the ultimate retro-fit” means
- What he went through to make his H.I.T. only gym a huge success
- The unique thing he did to keep weirdo members out of the gym
- How he personally dropped 30 pounds of body fat
- His take on bodybuilding magazines and volume training
- How he utilizes Heavy Duty, pre-exhaust and static contraction training techniques
- And much, much more!

Dave, very interesting interview, thanks.
I’ve been doing SuperSlow a la Little & McGuff since 2/1/10 and enjoying great results. After doing the Big 5 last Saturday, I tried a Max Pyramid of lat bar triceps and biceps just to see what it would be like, and not interfere with my Big 5. Holy cow! It was intense and fun. Felt like I worked my YKW off that session.
BTW, I’m 69.5 and feeling great doing HIT and paleo.
dave,
another interesting interview.thanx for making them available for all your listeners to benefit from them.
Great interview. Greg is a great guy and training with him was not fun, but great. I was fortunate to train with him a couple of times in February. His facility is a bit of a museum of HIT friendly machines. Good stuff.
