What a Day in the Life of Tony Robbins Actually Looks Like
For the past several decades, business and performance coach Tony Robbins has provided insight and knowledge to people all over the world who want to transform their life and reach peak performance.
Robbins is known for his commanding stage presence, his energy infectious and intensity almost at times abrasive. It’s hard to believe that anyone could maintain this level of energy and intensity in their daily life.
But, as it turns out, it’s not an act– that’s exactly how Tony Robbins lives.
For changes to be of any true value, they've got to be lasting and consistent.
A day in the life of Tony Robbins
What does a day in the life of Tony Robbins look like?
Recently, Robbins has been more open about his daily schedule, much of it being chronicled in Robbins’ 2016 Netflix special I Am Not Your Guru.
Business Insider also recently followed Robbins for several days at his Fiji resort, Namale, experiencing every detail of a typical day for Robbins.
At 57, Robbins works harder than ever. He travels to over 60 different countries a year and owns 33 companies, 12 of which he runs directly. And, while each day is different, there are several factors that are consistent for Robbins no matter where he is and what he’s doing.
His morning supercharge
Robbins is known for working long, 16-hour days and sleeping no more than three to five hours a day.
Typically waking between 7 to 9 A.M., he starts his day with a version of the very same exercise he details in his Ultimate Edge program. It’s a short, 10-minute ritual that combines elements of yoga, mindfulness meditation, visualization, gratitude, and affirmations (what Robbins prefers to call incantations).
Four years ago, Robbins hired a full-time personal trainer, Billy Beck III, who has UFC fighters, professional athletes, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson on his resume. Beck trains Robbins virtually every day using a custom program. The workout is just 15 minutes but very high-intensity training.
After working out, Robbins will spend a few minutes in a hot sauna immediately followed by jumping into a cold bath, the water reaching as low as 57 degrees Fahrenheit. Beck says the cold bath not only helps wake Robbins up, it also improves circulation.
What Tony Robbins eats
Robbins’ personal trainer Beck also designed his diet, which consists of roughly the same meals every day.
According to Beck, Robbins meal plan is as follows:
- First thing in the morning: What Beck calls an "adrenal support cocktail", essentially a vitamin shake with green powder (a product Robbins himself sells and which I’ve used), vitamin C, and antioxidants. He also takes custom capsules of methylated B vitamins that are mixed with additional nutrients.
- Breakfast: Free-range eggs and organic coconut bread
- Lunch: A green salad with avocado, extra virgin olive oil cold pressed, lemon, and Himalayan sea salt
- Afternoon snack: A meal-replacement shake
- Dinner: A clean organic protein source, roasted potatoes, asparagus, broccoli, and either coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil
- Evening snack: A meal-replacement bar
Tony’s work
The brunt of Tony’s daily work consists of his events and speaking engagements.
However, before we go much further, it’s important to understand something about Tony’s daily life. He’s surrounded, almost at all times, by his direct team which consists of as many as 10 people.
His team flies with him in his private jet, a Bombardier Global Express XRS, everywhere he goes and is a big part of virtually everything he does.
His team consists of his:
- Personal trainer
- Creative director
- Executives from the various companies he owns
- Personal assistants
Much of Robbins’ work consists of meeting with his team to plan, manage, and run his various events as well as leading and managing his other businesses and investments. His wife Sage also travels with him everywhere he goes and actively engages in many of his events.
Before a big event such as Robbins’ Date with Destiny, he’ll meet with his team to prepare and review notes to make sure everything is in order. He then meets with various members of his team throughout each day during events, which can often have him speaking with his audience from as early as 9 A.M. to as late as 1 A.M., to adjust the event as necessary when certain activities run over time, which happens often when Robbins speaks directly with attendees during his intervention sections.
After each day, he meets again with his team to discuss how everything went so they can gauge performance and make necessary adjustments. Robbins does this each and every day, whether there’s an event or not, before going to bed between 2-4 A.M. on a typical day.
In his off time
In his off time, Robbins enjoys spending quality time with his wife Sage and schedules time to be with his family including his four adult children, siblings, and his wife Sage’s family as well.
Robbins also enjoys playing golf at his Fiji resort and has been an amateur race car driver since his twenties. However, with a passion that is as awe-inspiring as it is rare, he doesn’t stay away from his work for long.
Military Dad Defends His 4 Little Daughters When Strangers Make This Rude Remark
Military Dad of 4 Daughters Defends His Girls When Strangers Make This Rude Remark
Austin von Letkemann is the military officer strangers feel "sorry" for — and the reason is infuriating.
Whenever the devoted father leaves the house with his four children, strangers can't help but notice the officer in uniform is holding hands with 4 adorable little girls. They will tell the traditionally "masculine" and "all American" dad they feel sorry for him, because he has no sons. This dad makes one thing very clear: They are his daughters, they aren't a burden.
In a passionate video, von Letkemann took to Instagram to share with his followers that the only thing that's "difficult" about being a girl dad — is clapping back to these sexist remarks over and over again.
They Mock His Daughters To Their Face
When strangers approach Austin von Letkemann and his four daughters, they don't always realize that their comments are being overheard. They seem oblivious to the fact that his girls understand every word. Von Letkemann describes how people will approach him and, without thinking, make remarks like "I'm sorry" or even joke about his lack of sons. What they don't realize is that these comments, intended to be light-hearted or humorous, can be deeply hurtful to his daughters. These strangers are not just disrespecting von Letkemann's choices as a father; they're also sending a message to his daughters that their presence is something to be pitied. It’s a message that von Letkemann won't stand for, and he's speaking out to defend his girls from these insensitive remarksSaying "Get Your Shotgun" Isn't Funny — It's Sexist
Another common comment that Austin von Letkemann encounters is the old "better get your shotgun ready" trope, often delivered with a smirk or a wink. This line is typically intended to suggest that a father with daughters should be on high alert to protect them from potential "suitors," implying that they are objects to be guarded rather than individuals with agency.
Von Letkemann finds this line of thinking outdated and sexist. In his viral Instagram video, he points out that these jokes are not just stale — they're damaging.
By suggesting that his daughters require armed protection, the joke reinforces the idea that women are inherently vulnerable and need to be shielded from men. Von Letkemann argues that instead of promoting this narrative, society should focus on teaching respect and consent, challenging these sexist tropes at their source.

"If I Had A Fifth Child, I'd HOPE It Was A Girl" — One Dad's Message For Other Parents
Despite the constant remarks about his lack of sons, Austin von Letkemann is clear: He wouldn't trade his daughters for anything.
In fact, he told his Instagram followers that if he were to have a fifth child, he would hope for another girl. This declaration isn't just about doubling down on his pride in his family — it's a pointed response to those who see fathering daughters as a misfortune.
Von Letkemann's stance is a powerful one, rejecting the notion that a family is incomplete without sons. He encourages others to question the assumptions behind these comments and to appreciate the joy and fulfillment that his daughters bring. By sharing his story, von Letkemann hopes to create a more inclusive perspective on fatherhood, one that values daughters just as much as sons.
