Summary
Greek scientist Apostolos Atsalakis, founder of PNOE, and athlete Alex Wisch join Joe De Sena, founder of Spartan, to talk about metabolism, zone workouts, and VO2 max.
Apo is the co-founder of PNOĒ which adapts a breath analysis test that was known for over a century, to allow the mass adoption of metabolic analysis (RMR and VO2Max testing). He graduated from the University of Cambridge, joined Y Combinator with PNOĒ in 2019, and has joined the Fortune 40 under 40 Greek list. He loves windsurfing and strength training.
Alex Wisch is the founder of Wisch Fit. During the pandemic he teamed up with Spartan to raise awareness and money for veterans mental health by completing 1000 strict pull-ups, 2000 push-ups and 3000 squats with a 20 lbs vest in about 6 hrs.
