THE WHOLE MAN ACADEMY

For the man with serious ambitions and the belief his best years are still ahead.

A brotherhood for men who are succeeding, and determined to go further in business, in life, and in everything that matters.

WHAT IS THE WHOLE MAN ACADEMY?

Since 2018, ambitious men have been walking into our rooms and leaving with a shift in trajectory.

Over eight years we've brought together hundreds of men — founders, operators, executives, business owners — men who are already succeeding and know there's another gear available to them. What separates the men who find that gear from the men who don't is rarely talent. It's attitude. And it's who they surround themselves with.

The man behind the Academy

Back in 2018 I started putting on small events in London.

A group of ambitious men in a room for a couple of hours, usually over food and a drink.

Business owners, senior executives, a few lads from special forces, fighters, even a couple of world champions. Different backgrounds, but wired the same way.

No one trying to impress anyone. Just proper conversations.

The sort you don't get when you're in the middle of work, family and everything else.

What I noticed quickly was how much men needed that. A room where they could think clearly, be honest, and be around others at a similar level who got it.

That's still what this is. Seven years on, hundreds of men later.

I spent nearly 20 years in the City before building this. I know what it's like to be successful on paper and quietly wonder if there's something more.

If that sounds familiar — you're in the right place.

Anthony Astbury, Founder

“I’m a Director of a law firm and have been working with Anthony and WMA for four years. Before we met, I was confused, stressed, anxious, and my productivity was suffering at work. Anthony has helped me to gain clarity, to work through issues and problem-solve, to maintain a healthy work-life balance, and to ensure I focus on what’s really important to me. My productivity and profitability at work has virtually doubled! My home life is happy and secure. Anthony helped me to develop new skills and insights that help me to look after myself, and those around me.”

Ant is a force of nature, and I can honestly say that getting to know him has been a game changer. His coaching (and events through The Network) have helped me to level up over the past 10 months, and if you are looking to change aspects of your life for the better - or even have a total reboot - he can help you get there. He is funny, likeable, and tells it like it is . He uses a whole host of techniques tailored to you - physical, mental and even spiritual - to help you round out the areas that are lacking in your "wheel of life". Daily journals, stoicism, dietary advice, educational resources, guest lecturers, events, and 1:1 coaching are just a handful. At the core, he focusses strongly on personal accountability which he believes is at the root of a winning mindset. He is freely and unashamedly who he is, and expects the same from you. If you're not willing to face the hard truths, his uncompromising reality and communication style might not be for you. But if you are, and want to effect positive and lasting change, I recommend him wholeheartedly.

If you’re serious about levelling up in life, you need to speak to Anthony and get involved with the Wholeman Academy. I first met Ant through a private business mastermind, and from day one, his passion and purpose for helping men take back control of their lives was undeniable. Too often, as men, we ignore or overlook the very things that hold us back. Ant has a laser-like ability to cut through the noise, pinpoint the real issues, and give you the no-BS clarity you need to move forward. His direct, no-nonsense approach is exactly what most men need...but rarely get. And because it’s paired with genuine care, energy, and passion, the impact is massive. Since knowing him, I’ve attended many of his events and retreats, and every single one has been a game-changer...providing renewed clarity, purpose, and drive. He has also created a powerful network of like-minded men inside The Network...all driven to grow, support and push their own boundaries to take life to the next level. If you’re a man who wants to grow, become more successful, and stop playing small, Anthony and Wholeman Academy are exactly what you need.

I had the privilege of working with Anthony through the Whole Man Academy, and I can confidently say his impact is nothing short of transformative. Anthony’s passion for helping men find clarity, purpose, and resilience shines through in everything he does. Through his guidance, I’ve experienced profound personal growth—improving my health, fitness, and mindset, and gaining the confidence to take on challenges I’d previously thought impossible. His ability to foster a supportive and empowering community has created a space where men can connect, share, and grow together. Anthony is an exceptional leader, mentor, and advocate for men’s well-being. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to gain clarity, build confidence, and take control of their lives.

Don’t miss the opportunity to work with Anthony.....he has been an invaluable resource in guiding me to the path I’m on today. Anthony and the Whole Man Academy have been instrumental in helping me recover my energy, strength, and vitality for life. By holding me accountable for the choices I make every day. Anthony’s strategies provided the clarity I needed, not only in business but in my personal life as well. Anthony’s straightforward approach is incredibly effective at helping you break through the barriers and walls we often build over the years. His insights, combined with the supportive and like-minded community of the Whole Man Academy, create a space where honest conversations happen, and real progress is made. Thanks to Anthony, I’ve found the focus and determination to live the life I truly want. I couldn’t recommend him or the Whole Man Academy highly enough for anyone seeking transformation and growth.
