Working Out Helps Casey Wasserman Focus On Roles At Agency, LA28

Wasserman Chair & CEO CASEY WASSERMAN "five days a week," wakes "before sunrise, then pushes through workouts with trainer CHRISTINE KHURI that may last three hours," according to a profile piece by Milo Bryant of MEN’S HEALTH. Wasserman said, “As difficult as it is sometimes to get started, I just know how much better (I’ll feel) and how much more energy and focus I’ll have when I’m done working out.” Wasserman "needs that focus because he spends the workday pulling double duty" leading his agency and being chair of LA 2028. But until "three years ago," Wasserman "wasn’t training like this." He had "played tennis when he was young and had always been active," but he "kept an intense travel schedule, frequently flying to Europe, Asia, and South America." Wasserman said, "I used to wear this badge of honor that I traveled a lot and worked hard.” But eventually he "knew he had to make some adjustments." And he "hasn’t missed a training session since and has dropped to 165 pounds." Now, Wasserman "constantly finds new ways to drive his body." Some days he "pushes the bounds of his breathing and flexibility with yoga," or he "does more hill sprints." Soon after social distancing was ordered in L.A., Wasserman "mapped out and ran his own half-marathon course through Beverly Hills" (MEN'S HEALTH, 10/ '20 issue).
