"My routines are set up by my son, and he follows them too... We normally do weights together. He's my personal trainer,"
"I go to the gym six times a week. I do four days of weights and two days on the treadmill. And honestly, when you're above a certain age, and you have back pain here and there, you need that."
"We talk about gym-related issues, but then we also talk about our life," Ereño says, adding that he'll pick his son's brains to specifically grow his "leadership skills and relationship skills." "He's in banking, so it's a different business, but more on the personal side, (I get advice around) how I should interact with my colleagues?," he adds. "One of the points he reinforces, which I appreciate, is that not everybody's the same."
Iñaki Ereño trains nearly every day with routines set by his 23-year-old son, who serves as his personal trainer and workout partner. He follows six gym sessions weekly—four days of weights and two days on the treadmill—to manage age-related aches and maintain fitness. Ereño links consistent, demanding exercise to sustaining both physical health and business performance. Long workdays include back-to-back meetings and long walks home. The generational relationship with his son provides candid feedback that Ereño uses to refine leadership and relationship skills and to gain a fresh perspective beyond his board.
