Steve Kamb is the 🏷️#entrepreneur, 🏷️#author, and gamification advocate behind 📝Nerd Fitness, the lifestyle brand that translates role-playing-game mechanics into health and wellness for self-identified nerds. A lifelong gamer who came to fitness late, Kamb built Nerd Fitness in 2009 as a personal blog and grew it into a global community of over 250,000 members — The Rebellion — with millions of monthly visits.
Kamb is best known for designing the 📝Epic Quest of Awesome, his personal leveling system that turns real-world bucket-list items into experience points and level-ups. The framework underwrote his 2016 book 📝Level Up Your Life, published by Rodale Books, and the Rising Heroes role-playing fitness tracker built inside Nerd Fitness. Between 2010 and 2014 he published three earlier e-books on strength, fitness, and running that were later consolidated into the Nerd Fitness Academy, and in 2015 he released Nerd Fitness Yoga. Kamb has been a guest speaker for Health@Google and featured on Gizmodo for his travel-hacking exploits.
