Ep. 162 Training for the Sport of Life: Fitness Is the Ultimate Business Advantage with Yancy Culp

Show Notes: In this high energy episode of Business Growth Spotlight, host Heidi Schalk sits down with Yancy Culp, Co Creator and Senior Director of Spartan DEKA, for a powerful conversation that connects fitness, leadership, mindset, and business growth. Yancy shares his journey from completing a grueling 72 hour Spartan Death Race to helping build a globally recognized fitness competition designed for all levels. What began as a bold idea inside the Spartan ecosystem has evolved into thousands of revenue generating events inside gyms, studios, and fitness communities around the world. This conversation goes far beyond physical fitness. Yancy explains why movement is foundational to high performance leadership and why training the body directly impacts clarity, decision making, resilience, and long term success in business and life. Bio: Yancy Culp is the Co-Creator and Senior Director of Spartan DEKA. A U.S. Navy veteran with more than 30 years in the health, wellness, and fitness industry, Yancy has built a career as a coach, business owner, and team leader. His journey with Spartan began during the 2013 Spartan Death Race, a 72-hour challenge that became a life-changing experience and sparked a lasting friendship and opportunity to work for Spartan founder and CEO Joe De Sena. Before joining Spartan and DEKA, Yancy spent over 15 years managing Fixed Base Operator (FBO) aviation facilities and military aviation contracts, leading large-scale operations and service teams on U.S. military bases and civilian airports. During this period and continuing today, he has coached more than 5,000 group exercise classes while managing his own fitness businesses. Ever the multitasker, Yancy has also developed a long-standing career in the health and wellness space. He serves as the Active Lifestyle Coach for the science-driven nutrition company Humann and as a Master Coach for Get Burly, which offers mental and physical conditioning camps focused on leadership and personal development. From day one, Yancy’s mission with DEKA has been to create a globally recognized sport for all fitness levels, offering fitness testing experiences that highlight the value of consistent training and caring for what he calls “our beautiful machine - our body.” He believes everyone is an athlete and that we should all train for the ultimate sport: life. Yancy says: “My fitness love tank is filled every weekend when I see DEKA gyms around the world hosting events and celebrating fitness with their members and communities. Gym owners are hanging DEKA finisher medals around the necks of first-time testers, elite athletes, and everyone in between. At 4,500+ events and counting, it’s safe to say we’ve created a globally recognized sport for all levels—and we’re just getting started.” To connect with our guest, click on the links below: LinkedIn:   / yancy-culp-b792b519b   Instagram: @yancyculp @deka.fit @spartan @dekaeurope Connect with me: LinkedIn:   / heidischalkcoaching   🎁Grab your Spotlight to Scale Blueprint: https://spotlighttoscale.com/blueprint
