occupation? counselor/ motivational speaker/
Pastor, not necessarily in that order.
KT: While working out at the only
fitness center in town (at the time) I
was approached by the owner who
asked me if I wanted to manage
his facility. This eventually led to
many years of work at that location
and many others through multiple
owners. I eventually purchased the
business myself, only to lose it to a
business partner from going out on
my own. I started training at differ-
ent locations as a “contract trainer”
eventually landing a spot (The Pool
House at Canyon West). Quickly out
growing this spot, I found my self
renovating yet another spot that was
an old tee shirt shop on Elm Street.
Three years later, I quickly outgrew
this spot as well, which brings me to
126 N Elm Street. It has been a wild
ride, sometimes up, sometimes down,
but through it all I’ve been blessed,
amazed and I’m grateful that I get to
turn the key each and every morning
