I am the CEO of a fitness company. I start my day with a sack of steamed broccoli and end with my family – here is my routine.

• Bryan Myers, president and chief executive officer of the Solidcore fitness company, begins his days at 6 a.m.
• His days often involve eating a little breakfast, leading his team to training sessions and attending meetings.
• He appreciates being more than just CEO and leaves the office around 5 p.m. to spend time with his family.

This test also told is based on a conversation with Bryan Myers, president and chief executive officer of the Fitness Solidcore company, who lives in Washington, DC. The following has been modified for duration and clarity.

I always knew that I had a passion for business. It was very present, even in my childhood. I tried to start businesses such as door -to -door fruit sales and a babysitting agency – I had this entrepreneurial bug. I followed this passion and I went to university for business, but when I graduated, I still couldn’t answer the question of what I wanted to be when I grew up.

I decided to kick the box and get started in advice, thinking that it would be a great way to see a lot of different functional areas within a business and help me decide. I had an incredible experience as a consultant at the Boston Consulting Group for almost five years.

But to work with the largest companies in the world showed me what I was missing – the opportunity to help create a business. In 2014, I decided to leave my comfortable job and join the Sweetgreen management team as director of financial planning. During my stay there, the team and I cultivated the brand and refined what the company would become.

I also discovered Solidcore. This is where I went when I was stressed at work and when I wanted to remember the house while traveling.

A few years later, when a former consulting colleague introduced me to the founder of Solidcore, I left my role as vice-president of the development of the new store at Sweetgreen to join Solidcore as a COO. Now, seven years later, I am president and chief executive officer.

Here’s what a typical day like my life looks like.

I usually wake up around 6 a.m.

The first thing I do is walk my dog ​​for 20 to 30 minutes. It is a great way for both of us to make movement. While I walk, I catch up with two things – my Whoop statistics and the company.

I like to consult my Whoop statistics to see how I slept, my heart rate at rest and my variability in heart rate (VRC). This gives me a reference base for the day and helps me determine how my body feels and what I have to do to make sure I introduce myself to my best.

Then, I look at the real -time dashboards from Solidcore to see things like cash sales, studio visits and members’ growth. This allows me to get into the day knowing what could be our opportunities and challenges.

When I’m back from my walk, we are immersed in family time

I have a toddler, so my husband and I prepare it as well as ourselves. We are generally all through the door around 7:15 am. My husband is director of primary school in Northern Virginia, so he heads for the school, and on the way, we separated the deposit tasks with me, taking our dog and taking our little ones to their respective daycare centers. I am generally at the office between 7:45 a.m. and 8 am to start the day.

Even with the busy mornings, I am a big breakfast eater. I eat in the common kitchen of our office – it’s also a good way for me to greet the members of our team when they arrive. My typical breakfast is a frozen broccoli bag – all the steamed bag – with four hard eggs and an English muffin. I think it is the most important meal of the day and opt for something that gives me energy.

During the day, I do typical things that you are expecting for a CEO to do – go to meetings and spend time with the team

Right now, we are growing a lot, and it’s exciting to see the impact we have when we enter more communities and see new people crossing our doors. When I joined the company, we had 25 locations, and now we are almost 140 states in 26 states.

When I started in Solidcore as a COO, a large part of my role was to “do”. I negotiated agreements with owners or hires. Now my role is much more oriented towards vision. He focuses on questions such as “where are we going to be in five years?” Or “Who are the team members or the functions we have to add to this company?”

I also spend a lot of time on the road, I see our teams and helping them feel connected to the mission and vision of our business, as well as to make sure they feel seen, appreciated and inspired.

I also find ways to continue the magic created by our founder while creating my own inheritance and strategy

After having become CEO, we have made a great effort to make people are better at prices in exchange for their locking and to be part of the community as members.

We have also thought of the race, age, body type – everything that can make people feel excluded from a fitness experience. We want people to look at our coach wall and see each other in a trainer.

We also think about how we build products to help everyone, whether super athletes or at the start of their fitness trips. One of the ways we have done is to present new class formats for those at different levels of fitness, such as our Starter50 and Advanced50.

I love working with my team

One of the incredible things to work in a company like Solidcore is that we have a lot of flexibility; It is not uncommon for people who work at the headquarters to go out and make a team sweat together. It could be in Solidcore – because, of course, we love Solidcore – but it could also be in another studio in our neighborhood. He breaks the day and relive us for what comes next.

I love to work with our teams and often train several times a week when I travel. Many business leaders take their teams for dinner or Happy Hour, but coaching a course is another way for me to connect in a way that seems authentically solid.

Another way I connect with people through my presence on social networks

I am very intentional by showing people that I am more than the title of CEO – I am a father, I like to travel, I am synchronized with Beyoncé and I like to organize dinners with my friends. I think it helps people relate to me and realize that you don’t have to be stuffy or robotic to be CEO.

I also take the time to get involved in organizations and philanthropic causes

I am a member of the Health & Fitness Association Strategic Advisory Council (previously known under the name of IHRSA) because I think the industries do not progress without people doing the job to help them get them forward.

I also support the Ridley Scholarship Fund, which has paid for my university experience and changed my trajectory by allowing me to be involved in parascolia and student experience instead of thinking about work or having to reimburse loans.

I usually come home from the office around 5 p.m., then I go to the family time

My husband and I are preparing and dinner, let’s catch up with the day and play with our son. We really absorb everything before bed at 7 p.m.

Once he went to bed, my routine understands a combination of a few different things. Our Mantra in Solidcore is to be the strongest version of yourself, and one of the ways I am doing is by being a continuous learner. Sometimes it’s reading – I read “Force Force”. Other times, it’s a Spanish lesson, which I have been doing with a tutor for three years.

I also take the time to catch up with friends by the text, FaceTime or the zoom. It’s also time to get back to work and finish all the things I did not do before leaving the office. I try to limit the work in the evening until two hours so that I can be ready to attack the next day.

I end my day between 10:30 p.m.

I find myself as a typical millennium – by scrolling Tiktok and catching funny trends while I decompress the stress of managing a growing business.

I need a village to stay energized and excited by my work. My husband, our family, my executive coach and my assistant all support me.

Many people look at people who succeed and think they are doing everything, but no one can do everything. The only way to reach these levels of success is with an incredible community.
