GREGORY JOUJON-ROCHE – FOUNDER

Greg  was born in California and raised on the island of Kauai, where the lush grounds and rugged landscapes made for a physically active childhood. An avid surfer with a life long pursuit of healthy living, Greg was initiated into the fitness industry at the early age sixteen with his first job at a Los Angeles training facility . Greg quickly got certified through N.A.C.P.T.  and never looked back.

After graduating California State University Northridge, Greg took a break , traveled the world as a model, and returned to L.A. to continue his training. His successes in the training business led to the inception of Holistic Fitness in 1994, which would blossom to dominate his career path. Among his clients was a powerful agency, The Creative Artist Agency, who taught Greg the in’s and out’s and delicate balance of the entertainment industry, while grooming Greg to work with celebrities with in the entertainment business. Two years later Holistic fitness’s first job was with  Demi Moore for the film Striptease, and so began his career as Hollywood’s most sought after trainer.

Demi’s envied figure confirmed Greg’s skill, and Holistic Fitness became his full time business and continues today in an exclusive Hollywood facility formerly belonging to Carol Lombard and Clark Gable. Again, Greg worked with Demi for her role in G.I. Jane (for which he choreographed her infamous one arm push-up) and went on to train other A-List talent like Pink, Brad Pitt, Gwen Stefani, Tobey Maguire for Spiderman & Spiderman 3 and Leonardo DiCaprio for The Departed to name just a few.

Holistic Fitness recently opened it’s doors on Sydney’s 20th Century Fox lot to work Holistic’s refined skills and team approach skills on Australia’s brightest stars and the Australian entertainment business.

2006 was a monumental year, beginning with Greg’s presence as supervisor on Good Morning America’s America Takes it Off series, leading to his position as one of AOL’s Diet & Fitness coaches as well as a lead writer for MSNBC”s The Fit List . Most important was the release of his book One Body, One Life: Six Weeks to the New You. His sold out book integrates Greg’s vast knowledge in multiple fitness disciplines into a complete plan to a rejuvenated the body emphasizing a strong connection between mind and body. He has also unveiled a line of supplements called 6 Essentials and a healing  cleanse to compliment the book and to increase the effectiveness of theOne Body, One Life program.

Greg has manifested his commitment to whole health yet again in the form of Real Raw Live, a trendy new Hollywood juice bar devoted to raw foods.
