Becoming Unparalyzed: Greg Simony’s Story of Purpose, Discipline, and Redemption
You may recognize the name Greg Simony from headlines across the country. He’s known for helping individuals with different abilities complete races and triathlons—people who, without his help, may never have experienced the joy of crossing a finish line.
Greg wakes up at 4:00 AM to train, not for personal glory, but so he can empower others to achieve what once seemed impossible. He doesn’t do this for attention. In his own words, he’s not looking to be the hero. He simply shows up, again and again, to serve with heart, grit, and humility.
But behind the strength and endurance is a story of resilience. Greg has faced his own battles—struggles with alcohol addiction and weight gain. When he speaks, his voice carries the raw honesty of someone who has been through darkness and chosen to fight his way out.
What makes Greg’s journey powerful isn’t just his success; it’s his willingness to confront pain and replace destructive patterns with purpose. He didn’t simply wake up one day fully healed. Like so many of us, he had to learn how to find self-worth and start the hard work of becoming Unparalyzed—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
“The process is not perfect,” Greg shares. “Some days you make progress. Other days you slip back. But falling is normal. It only becomes permanent when you stop trying.”
Greg credits purpose, structure, and positive routine as key to his transformation. When he was fighting relapse, he knew he needed something extreme to break old cycles. That’s when he began driving over an hour just to attend Master Swimmer’s classes—despite not being a swimmer. This radical shift in his daily rhythm shocked his system and forced him to create new patterns. Alcohol could no longer stay in his routine. His body—and his soul—needed something different.
His story is a reflection of personal development in action. While Greg doesn’t claim to be a hero, his life models the power of renewing your mind, embracing discomfort, and leaning into a higher calling. He believes we all live by routines, whether positive or negative, and the key is choosing ones that move us forward.
For Greg, that means rising before the sun, lacing up his shoes, and showing up for people society might overlook. His reward isn’t financial. It’s the fulfillment of helping others experience something extraordinary—something they might never do without his support. He calls it a “win-win.” We call it purpose in motion.
Greg reminds us that the true failure isn’t falling. It’s quitting. And when we keep trying, even when it’s messy or uncomfortable, we create space for real breakthrough.
This is what becoming Unparalyzed looks like.
