Why am i obsessed with and not at all interested in the “24 hour gym space” ??
After 11 years as a personal trainer in the commercial gym space, I’d built a successful career—but something wasn’t sitting right anymore. The industry started to feel surface-level. Chasing numbers. Selling dreams without delivering. And honestly? I was losing myself in it.
During those years, I watched build Fitstop (literally next door). He offered me multiple chances to jump on board as a coach. But I kept saying no. I didn’t get it. I hadn’t experienced what Fitstop really was!
Fast forward a few years... I was burning out. Questioning if I even wanted to keep going in the fitness industry and that’s when (who works in Fitstop HQ) messaged me said:
“Fitstop Cleveland is looking for a coach. You’re applying. You’re taking it.”
So I did.
From day one at Fitstop, I felt something shift. The energy. The people. The purpose. For the first time in a long time, I felt aligned again. It was exactly what I’d been searching for all along—a place where the training actually mattered, where values led the way, and where I could help 10x more people then I could PTing.
I remember thinking: Why didn’t I do this 10 years ago?
That moment sparked something in me. I didn’t just want to be a coach at Fitstop—I wanted my own Fitstop! Not just a gym, but a place where real impact happens. Where beginners feel seen and supported. Where athletes are pushed and challenged. Where future coaches are mentored to lead. And where every single member walks out feeling better than when they came in.
That’s the mission! That’s the vision!
We move more, so we can live more.
And we do it together.
