About Gary Stempien, Developer of the G.S. 20 Express Workout™

---

For over 46 years, Gary Stempien has devoted his life to fitness, strength training and exercise. A health club industry veteran of 30 years, he has owned and operated a chain of eight health clubs.

As the creator of the G.S. 20 Express Workout™, Gary has spent many years developing and testing his optimal 20-minute training system for people who want results in the least amount of time.

A protégé of fitness industry icon Arthur Jones, founder of Nautilus, Inc. and MedX, Inc., Gary has been a life-long entrepreneur. In his 20s, Gary founded, owned and operated a chain of health clubs with thousands of members in the Detroit, Michigan, metropolitan area. For the past 20 years, he has owned and operated his very successful Nautilius Fitness Center in northern Michigan, which has a 70% member retention rate, far above the industry norm. In fact, his club numbers almost 16% of the entire population of the city where it is located, in spite of other competing clubs in the area.

A consummate athlete, Gary has excelled at every sport in which he has participated, whether it be wrestling, football or martial arts. In addition to college football, Gary played two years of semi-pro football and had try-outs with the Chicago Bears football team. A 12-state award-winner of the Grand Championship in sparring, Gary fought on the first professional martial arts team in Michigan.

A double Master (Teacher of Black Belts) in Korean Karate and Japanese Jiu-Jitsu as well as the holder of black belts in two other martial arts disciplines, Gary continues to teach and is the head instructor of Martial Arts at his health club.
