Founder of Icemunity | Whole-listic Mobility Strength Coach & Mentor
Phil CUI
For over a decade, I’ve been exploring what it means to push limits—physically, mentally, and nutritionally. With a background in strength training and nutrition, I live by the 80-20 rule: eat well, but enjoy life’s pleasures (pancakes included!).
As the founder of Icemunity, I’ve seen how connection and resilience help people conquer challenges like ice baths and push past limits. Wellness, for me, is about habits that empower you to thrive in every aspect of life.
Life’s about movement—unlocking freedom, building lasting strength, and discovering your true potential. Strength is more than physical; it’s a mindset. Let’s find your tribe and break through together.
