8 Surprising Facts About Kinobody’s Greg O’Gallagher
Greg O’Gallagher is one of the biggest fitness influencers on YouTube, as thousands of people have found success with one of the programs from his Kinobody brand. O’Gallagher’s most popular courses for men are the Greek God Program and the Warrior Shredding Program, and he also has a program for the ladies called The Goddess Toning Program.
Some call him a douchebag, others call him a clever entrepreneur. But, no matter how you feel about O’Gallagher, he is definitely successful and his programs do work. Here are nine surprising facts about Kinobody’s Greg O’Gallagher.
1. He’s the Son of Multi-Millionaire Michael O’Gallagher
O’Gallagher grew up in Toronto, Ontario and he is the second-oldest of four kids – he has two brothers and one sister. Gregory’s father was Michael O’Gallagher, the founder of a real estate company called MetCap.
The company managed apartment buildings all across Canada, and at the time of his death in 1988, Michael O’Gallagher’s net worth was $800 million. To this day, MetCap is the largest manager of multi-family residences in Toronto.
2. He Dropped Out of College
After finishing high school, O’Gallagher enrolled at the University of Guelph in Ontario. But, he dropped out of the marketing management program after his freshman year because he found the curriculum dated and didn’t think it was useful for his career goals.
I think the best education is outside university. So much of what you are learning in university is dated, and by the time you graduate, you learned stuff that you can’t utilize,
O’Gallagher said.
After my father passed, I realized that I was going to live my life for me. I had to honor my calling and had to honor my passion.
3. His First Mentor was Rusty Moore
After O’Gallagher dropped out of college at the age of 19, he left Toronto and moved to Los Angeles where he worked for a short time as a personal trainer. At that time he started following different fitness blogs and influencers, including Visual Impact Fitness founder Rusty Moore.
Gregory O’Gallagher ended up reaching out to Moore, and they developed a professional relationship while Moore was working on his first fitness website success, Fitness Blackbook. Greg learned everything he could from Moore, and he credits him as being his first mentor.
Editor Note: What’s fascinating about this story is that I actually know it firsthand. How? I was actually part of the online mastermind group organized by Rusty Moore when O’Gallagher was just getting started with Kinobody.
It was interesting to see his growth because two things noticeably set him apart from the others in the group. First, O’Gallagher always had a lean, defined body, and he used it as his main testimonial of his knowledge every chance he got.
His website, while underdeveloped, was plastered with images of himself posing and showing off his muscles, accompanied by very long, detailed write-ups of how he did it. So while he was still pretty self-absorbed back then, he always justified his images with plenty of helpful and effective strategies which contributed to him gaining a massive following in the community.
Second, Rusty Moore had been doing affiliate marketing and online fitness promotion for a long time so he already had significant revenue rolling in to reinvest in various tools like page builders, email capture software, high-quality graphics, etc. Since O’Gallagher already had the funds, any time Moore suggested a new tool, Greg was using it soon after.
This gave him a clear advantage since any SAAS subscription or one-off purchase that might make the rest of us check our recent bank statements to see if we could swing it, O’Gallagher didn’t bat an eye. Because of this, his marketing tactics were slick, cutting edge, and often way more effective than the rest of us.
4. He Found His Calling at Age 6
Even though his dad had made millions in real estate, taking over the family business was never Greg’s goal. He says that by the age of six he knew that he “wanted to build a downright incredible physique that was strong and powerful” just like the action figures he collected.
Greg O’Gallagher said that he asked his dad if he could ever look like that, and he told him that it was possible if he worked out. It was at that moment that Greg realized he had control over his strength, physique, and fitness.
5. He Bought His First Fitness Program at Age 13
All Greg wanted for Christmas when he was 13 was a couple of workout programs, and he remembers begging his mom for this and nothing else. Gregory ended up getting the Underground Guide to Warrior Fitness by Ross Enamait, and he was immediately hooked.
Even when the family went on vacation, he found a way to do his pull-ups because nothing was going to stop his fitness routine.
6. He Wants to Be an Actor
After finding success in the fitness industry and building a YouTube channel with more than 300,000 subscribers and 40 million views, Greg O’Gallagher decided to start pursuing another goal: acting. He ended up taking lessons from acting coach Richard Chevilleau and he has acted in two movies.
- The Russian Bride (2019)
- Senior Entourage (Post-Production)
7. He Doesn’t Own a Lamborghini
One of Greg’s first viral videos came in 2015 when he posted “The Real Bruce Wayne.” Directed by Michael Delmonte, Gregory plays a fictional character who lives in a mansion, wakes up next to a model, and drives his Lamborghini to the gym.
8. He Practices What He Preaches
Every program that Greg has introduced in the Kinobody brand is a result of research and practice. Greg lives the life that he is selling, and it’s earned him some incredible physical results.
Greg’s height is 5’8”, he weighs 180 pounds, and his body fat percentage is in the single digits. If you’re wondering about his measurements, they are: 44” chest, 31” waist, and 16” arms.
Remember, it’s not about bulking up, it’s about being lean and ripped like a superhero.

FAQ
Is Greg O’Gallagher natty?
Just by looking at Greg O’Gallagher’s physique in his videos, you could say that most of the time, Greg is obviously a natural bodybuilder that doesn’t use steroids. However, there is one video that is suspect to debate since his body exhibits certain traits of steroid-use that casual users have pointed out.
In the below video, filmed in 2016, O’Gallagher is flexing in front of the camera, showing off his workout pump. So, what’s suspicious about this?
The thing that’s suspicious about this video is the combination of leanness and fullness in his physique. The definition in his shoulders and chest that actually put the grainy muscle fibers on display is often called a very “dry” look. Now, the dryness of his body fat isn’t the issue. It’s the combination of the dryness and the fullness of his muscles.
Yes, it’s possible to look “dry” as a bodybuilder, but that also means you have to sacrifice size and energy in order for your body to maintain such a low body fat percentage. The fact that O’Gallagher is able to have his cake and eat it too sends up red flags.
But let’s be fair. Even if he was using performance-enhancing substances (not saying he did), that’s completely separate from the results that his programs deliver. And if you look at Kinobody’s testimonials, then you know there are literally hundreds of success stories revolving around his programs.
What is Greg O’Gallagher’s net worth?
Greg O’Gallagher’s net worth is about $1 million and yes, he lives in a mansion. Here are the details…
At the age of 19 Greg’s Kinobody blog became his focus, and he started to build a following slowly but surely. After posting numerous popular articles, his fans started asking for videos, and by 2011 they were encouraging him to make his own program.
O’Gallagher decided to give it a try, and in 2012 he released The Warrior Shredding Program and The Greek God Program. Each program was all about building a movie-star body, instead of getting big and bulky. Both programs were a hit, and he ended up making his first million by the age of 24.
My goal was to be a millionaire by 25, and I ended up doing it at 24. I made Kinobody because there was not a fitness protocol that I really loved. We’re going to build your body by only working out a few days a week and hitting personal records. It made fitness more like a video game, rather than being in the gym every day for two hours hoping [your physique] improves.
And yes, because he’s the son of a multi-millionaire, him and his family live in a mansion. You’ll find that in many of Gregory’s videos, O’Gallagher’s house serves as the background for his activities and exercises.
How much does Greg O’Gallagher weigh?
As of 2020, O’Gallagher has mentioned in his videos that his weight hovers around 180 lbs. This is a net gain of 10-15 lbs since some of his earlier YouTube videos were filmed back in 2016.
