Kids aren't growing up in garages learning to wrench anymore. The culture has shifted. Many are raised behind computers, not beside their dads in the shop. This means a new generation might not know the hands-on skills.

Growing up, I'd cut out magazine workouts, paste them in a notebook, and add my own notes on muscle focus, reps, and tempo. It was my personal journal for understanding the fitness industry.

I had to learn about group coaching dynamics and Olympic lifting, which wasn't my direct experience. It was a defining moment where I decided not to be an imposter. Thankfully, the timing around COVID allowed for quicker learning without the usual gym crowds.

I dreamed of being a professional race car driver, but the reality of the lifestyle—constant travel, unhealthy habits—didn't align with my vision. University also wasn't for me. So, I chose a different path, even if it means an early bedtime.

The race car industry felt selfish, but I discovered a new passion: helping others live their racing dreams by owning a speed mart. We supported many aspiring racers, working on their cars and making their dreams a reality.

Tried everything to avoid sitting at my desk. Standing desks, under-desk alternatives, even midday runs and CrossFit. Turns out, I'm just not a sitting person. No matter the setup, you still have to be present and engaged.

As an ultra runner, staying strong was key. Running 15+ hours weekly meant sacrificing muscle and size. CrossFit became my solution to complement my training, not replace it. We pushed hard, but focused on general fitness, not Olympic lifts.

Born into certain circumstances, the opportunities that arise can be profound. When we choose to pivot and make decisions, we may not see our ultimate purpose, but we get a glimpse into our calling.

Success is defined by every person having a personalized workout in a group setting. But the ultimate success is doing right by yourself when you leave.

When eating out, he often tunes into educational content, especially military-focused podcasts and videos featuring Special Ops and SEAL teams. It's a way to stay engaged and learn.

As a gym, our role is to be your safe space. We understand what your body can achieve with movement and food. We'll encourage you, even if you're the last one finishing. You'll never be judged, only supported to reach your goals your way.

It's so much easier to be around like-minded people. When you have goals, they ask about your progress and keep you accountable. But there's a part of me that wants to share this feeling of purpose with everyone.
