R
ob Riches has earned
worldwide fitness
fame, not only for his
lean physique but for his
consistency in creating
and sharing information
for over a decade.
Rob began his fitness journey after
sustaining an injury from mountain biking
in his teens, when it was recommended
he start lifting weights to build back up
his strength.
By the age of 21, he had made his mark
on the competition scene in England,
racking up dozens of shows and top
spot wins.
After relocating to Los Angeles in 2007,
Rob quickly established himself as a
fitness host and even built his own
production studio.
Since that time, Rob has continued
to dominate the competition stage,
racking up two world championships
and multiple wins across six different
organisations.
Through his desire to share and
motivate others to follow a fit and active
lifestyle, Rob accrued a strong social
media following, racking up close to
100 million video views on YouTube.
