When I opened the gym, people thought I was crazy, including family and friends. First, to open a gym and second to open it in downtown Dayton, Ohio - which was not exactly flourishing at that time (like most urban areas.) I left a successful career in another field to pursue my dream.
They were right... I was crazy and I still am!! Most people didn't give me 10 weeks of success let alone 10 years. It hasn't been easy. I lost a business partner, and my love and devotion to my dream has cost me a few relationships. I have, however, stuck to my guns and my beliefs... my belief that boxers are some of the best conditioned athletes in the world. It is also my belief that anyone can participate in boxing workouts and enjoy the same benefits that amateur and professional fighters enjoy.
So, I opened my gym, which is a full service facility that offered kick-boxing and spinning, along with free weights, machines, treadmills, etc. And, I build a boxing ring... and fighters came... and I learned the sport and art of boxing.
