The Whole Man Academy, founded by Anthony Astbury in 2018, is a movement dedicated to helping growth-focused men reignite their inner drive and achieve their full potential.
Recognising the challenges faced by professional men in today’s world, the Academy provides practical tools and a supportive community to help them overcome what Astbury calls “Silent Struggles” and achieve success in all areas of their lives.
An environment of mutual support
At the heart of the Whole Man Academy is The Network, a membership community designed to combat the “lone wolf” mentality. This affordable, high-value program connects driven men with like-minded individuals, fostering an environment of mutual support, accountability, and inspiration. Members benefit from expert advice, structured action plans, regular accountability sessions, and networking opportunities, all within a supportive brotherhood.
Beyond The Network
Beyond The Network, the Academy offers a range of resources designed to cater to diverse needs and schedules. These include regular dinner events in London and the Cotswolds, providing opportunities for face-to-face connection and networking. For those seeking a more immersive experience, the Academy hosts transformative retreats, offering a chance to escape the pressures of daily life and focus on personal growth. A popular podcast, boasting over 130 episodes and 125,000+ downloads, extends the Academy’s reach and provides valuable insights on a wide range of topics relevant to modern men. Personal coaching with Anthony Astbury is also available for those seeking individualized guidance and support.
The Whole Man Academy’s impact extends beyond individual members. The organisation has partnered with prominent brands like Gieves & Hawkes and the London Sock Company and has delivered corporate talks at leading companies such as Spotify, Barclays, Aviva, and Soho House. These partnerships demonstrate the Academy’s credibility and its ability to connect with and empower men at all levels of professional life.
Confident, capable, dependable, strong, and resilient
The Academy’s mission is clear: to help men become confident, capable, dependable, strong, and resilient. They strive to create a world where every man can look in the mirror and feel proud of who he is. The Whole Man Academy is specifically designed for growth-focused men who feel stuck in a rut, whether it’s a dead-end job, a cycle of living for the weekend or simply feeling trapped on the hamster wheel of modern life.
A key element of the Whole Man Academy’s approach is its groundbreaking digital self-analysis tool. This free tool, available at www.wholemanacademy.com/quiz, offers personalised insights into areas for improvement across various aspects of life, including wealth, career success, health, productivity, and confidence. Developed by Anthony Astbury, the tool synthesises strategies and tactics from hundreds of interviews with high-achieving men, including Olympic athletes, CEOs, and military personnel. By answering a few simple questions, users can unlock a deeper understanding of themselves and gain clarity on the steps needed to achieve their goals. The Academy encourages men to take the three minutes required to complete the quiz, emphasising the potential for life-changing results.
