We love Kristy! Beast of a trainer and as good a person as they come.
I’ve never post much about this gym because honestly I’ve never felt like a good enough trainer to hold a title here.
The 46 year old gym has had countless members go on to compete for national titles, belts, trophies and recognitions. So many famous faces passed through here that it’s impossible to name them all.
I had no idea the impact the trainers of this gym had in the show world until today when I asked the current owner, David Kemp, who some of the GOATS of this place were.
“Jeff Cook competed in open bodybuilding at nationals 4 separate years. (One of the GOATS for sure 🙏🏼)
Lyn Mcateer was a regular member. First hired sales guy for Europa sports and was the direct contact for guys like Triple H, Stone Cold Steve Austin and probably 20-30 IFBB pro bodybuilders and professional athletes.
There have been 120-125 competitive bodybuilders train here and I would say 1/3 were women“
David’s not going to toot his own horn but I’ll blast it loud.
His current stats are: 1025 squat 677 bench 722 deadlift
The man can sling a little iron I guess 🫠
Then there’s David J Janicello. The man, the myth, and the legend.
Not only has he taught me about weight lifting, but He prays for me, speaks the word, and leads me to being a better trainer than I ever thought I could be.
I am humbled and honored to be a part of the legacy of trainers at Winners Gym and pray I can make them proud!
