It All Begins With An Idea
I’m often asked, what led you to do this? So, I thought I'd share a bit about myself to help us get more acquainted.
Before opening my gym, I had tried numerous large-scale gyms but never felt at home. It wasn't until a friend introduced me to a smaller gym that I truly found my footing. I vividly remember the fear and apprehension on my first day, worrying I'd be out of place or judged for my fitness level. Surprisingly, the gym was a mix of various fitness levels, from elite athletes to beginners, and everyone was focused on their own journey, not judging others.
Over the years, I became a regular, enjoying a sense of discipline and consistency I hadn't found elsewhere. This gym became more than just a place to work out; it felt like a community where I belonged, strengthening both my body and mind.
Then came 2020, a year that tested us all. Between the challenges of the pandemic, becoming a parent, and the loss of my mother, I realized I needed a significant change. My career as a mental health therapist was taking a toll on my well-being. I yearned for the sense of community and purpose I found in that small gym, a stark contrast to the increasingly loud noise in my head.
So, I took a leap. I studied hard, became a Certified Personal Trainer, and opened my gym, aiming to recreate the supportive, non-judgmental atmosphere that had been so pivotal for me. My goal was to build a place where people could achieve tangible results while feeling part of something meaningful.
And that's the story of how I came to start my gym. It's not just a business to me; it's a continuation of a journey towards well-being, community, and helping others find their strength, both inside and out.
