Podcast appearances and mentions of rasmus ingerslev

"Many men would say I would die for you, but what your kids really need is for you to live for them."These are the moving words from my next guest and dear friend, Rasmus Ingerslev.Rasmus is a Danish entrepreneur who spent three decades building two of Europe's largest health club groups, fitness dk and Fresh Fitness, before founding Wexer Virtual, which serves many of the world's leading club groups.He's chaired IHRSA, the Health and Fitness Association, and has been named one of Denmark's top CEOs.Today, he channels that same drive into his most recent venture, Manhug Coaching, helping men rebuild who they are at their core from the ground up.But underneath the many impressive accolades, accomplishments, and external success is a deep and raw past, from which much of his drive was fuelled.I feel honoured to share this raw conversation with him, going deep into his personal story and exploring the experiences that shaped him, from the 11-year-old boy who wanted to end his life after enduring physical abuse, sexual abuse, and bullying, to the man he's become today.Early on, he instinctively decided that he was the only person he could actually rely on, building an armour first through his physicality and eventually through a business empire.But it was moving through his divorce, where the image of 'having it all' began to fall apart, that finally demanded he go all in on the work he'd spent his whole life trying to outrun.This eventually led him towards the work he offers today, forged within the foundation of extensive psychotherapy, psychedelics, somatic therapy, tantra, and couples work.I first met Rasmus at a tantra retreat three years ago and felt an immediate connection with him, seeing in him a man almost 20 years older who'd lived both the heights of success and the depths of failure, with a deep drive to face the parts of himself he'd long avoided.I feel fortunate to say our connection has only deepened since...In our podcast together, we explore an underlying question that many men rarely ask:"What do you do when you've got everything you thought you wanted and needed, but it doesn't fill the emptiness from within?"In our conversation, discover:How a childhood filled with neglect and abuse led to Rasmus's incessant drive to build a physical armor and business empire.How performance and achievement become a way of trying to prove we're good enough, and why it never works.The moment Rasmus realized his life had been driven by the operating system of a little boy.His experience of moving through infidelity and how it prompted him towards doing the deeper work.How he plunged into therapeutic and self-development disciplines of every kind to try to save his marriage, and what he discovered about himself in the process.Rasmus's personal insights around the journey of moving from suffering to surviving to thriving, and his lived recognitions of the type of father he wants to be.Of all the podcasts I've done, this has been one of my favourites, moving me deeply to tears.As many of you might know, I put a lot of work into my podcast, but if there is one that I really encourage you to watch, it's this one.This episode's for anyone who's done everything imaginable to fill the void from within, but was never able to get the results they were hoping for.—Connect with Alex: ◼ Website: https://www.alexlehmann.co◼ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexlehmann_/◼ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heartofmanpodcast◼ Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/heart-of-man/id1697289478◼ Email: alexlehmanncoaching@gmail.com◼ Think we might be a good fit to work together?

In this powerful conversation, I connect with my friend Rasmus, a man who has walked the path from high-performance business leadership to deep emotional and spiritual awakening. From his beginnings as an elite athlete and fitness entrepreneur to his evolution into a father and men's mentor, we explore what it truly means to lead from the inside out. Rooted in the theme of Men's Development & Conscious Leadership, this dialogue is heart-centered, deeply personal, and grounded in practices that cultivate presence, vulnerability, and real power.Rasmus shares how divorce became his greatest teacher—opening him to grief, humility, and radical self-honesty—and how those lessons now inform his men's work. We talk about breaking cycles of pain and overachievement, the difference between performance and embodiment, and why turning inward often reveals more strength than chasing external success. We also explore conscious parenting, the courage it takes to re-pattern family dynamics, and how healthy sexuality emerges when men face their wounds with compassion and accountability.Throughout the episode, we offer practical pathways: slowing down to listen to the body, tending to the nervous system, practicing clean communication, honoring boundaries with love, and redefining success through integrity and connection. If you're seeking balance, presence, or a more grounded way to lead—in your work, relationships, or fatherhood—this conversation invites you to meet yourself more fully and lead with an open heart.

Hvordan har fitnessbranchen det her under COVID-19? Vi vil alle bare gerne have vores trænngsmuligheder tilbage, men en del kommer til at opleve at deres lokale center har lukket. Fitness M/K har snakker med serie-fitnessiværksætter Rasmus Ingerslev og forretningsudviklingskonsulent Thor Wowk Larsen om, fitnessbranchens udfordringer og hvad vi kan forvente at se på den anden side.

With 20 years in the fitness industry and a former Danish national karate team member, Rasmus Ingerslev is a pioneer in helping to spread (and change the perception of fitness) in Denmark and other European countries. In 1999, his first venture became the largest club group in the country. Fresh Fitness, his next project, now has 75,000 members. He started the Danish Fitness Organization and helped remove the stigma of fitness as something "just the beautiful people did" to one a lot more approachable and far less intimidating. Listen now to learn more from this seasoned industry veteran!

A world leader in both physical and digital fitness, Rasmus Ingerslev has founded innovative club chains, built business brands and successfully sold ventures to move onto the next entrepreneurial opportunity time and time again. Watch the full episode on YouTube - https://youtu.be/UgaOg8bxm3g Driven by looking after loved ones, Rasmus Ingerslev grew up with a single mother of three. He’s always had a desire to create a safe environment around his family. His mother passed away from cancer when he was 16. One source of inspiration to succeed was a promise Rasmus made to himself that he will never be in the position where he can’t afford to pay for any treatment relating to the health of his family. Aside from entrepreneurial ventures, he’s also been a martial arts athlete – a heavyweight in the national karate team, winning a national team title as payback for all the hard work he put in. Alongside every great man is a great woman; in the case of Rasmus Ingerslev he stands beside his medical doctor and neuroscientist wife, Mouna Esmaeilzadeh. This performance power couple has gone on to rise above and beyond competition in either of their respective fields.  Once a fighter, always a fighter – Rasmus Ingerslev’s martial arts success has only been matched by a fighting spirit on his entrepreneurial journey. He holds many senior positions as chairman of Barry’s Bootcamp Nordic, urban fitness chain REPEAT, investment group Stockholm Leisure Partners, and he’s also Executive Vice Chairman of Wexer Virtual. Rasmus is a global leading businessman, forging the new path in digital fitness and sharing as many of his experiences with others along the way.   Episode highlights -  Understand determination and how a fighting mentality will set you up for success and help you overcome when times are tough. Knowing when to rest, both mentally and physically, so that you don’t burn yourself out in business or in fitness. The same goes for the business itself – realising the timing of when to invest and add resources, or when to let productivity rest to find better timing in any market. The importance of written goals and how they’ll fuel you to achieve your long term plans as well as celebrating the quicker wins, too. How Rasmus believes that martial arts is the best education in the world, thanks to the discipline and patience needed to succeed and progress. Why leadership, your location and your people are the three most important things to surviving any market trends and changes in the industry.   Join Matthew Januszek in conversation with Rasmus Ingerslev…
