Very humbling start... The over all support and backing from this community has me speechless.. When I was 16 I walked into true value hardware and always thought this place would make a great gym some day.. 22 years later, this guys dream became real. Iāve dedicated my life to fitness and when times where hard and life didnāt make sense, I always turned to the one thing in my life that was more natural then living. Exercise. Exercise became a way of life. I feel in love with it when I was 12. It molded me, shaped me. Was my out. Nothing worth while is never easy. Itās hard work. It will challenge you, change you, break you, and make you. To me, itās in the very same category as eating, sleeping, and breathing. Itās a way of life. In a world where things can turn on a dime, exercise was always that one thing I always felt I had control over. It was my time to leave reality and take every ounce of frustration out on the weights. And it works. It always did. And it will never leave you, turn itās back on you, judge you, or hate you. It waits for you. Everyday, it waits to change you physically, and more important, mentally. Sure pills work. Exercise works better. It always has, and always will. When I set out to make Xccelerate a reality, I was told there is no market here, people have home gyms, people are busy, it flat out wonāt work, not enough people here to support a gym... I strongly disagreed. I had a vision of what it could become.. Giving people a product that they could back and be proud of. A gym thatās full of life, energy, laughs, and smiles. People coming together to achieve one common goal. Itās very simple. We just want to feel better. Feeling better is what this whole thing is about. I feel better when I exercise. I always have. Always will. This is why we get up and do the whole cycle over and over again. With exercise, there is only a start. There is no end game. Itās a part of every day living. Itās my life. And itās my Job to make it apart of yours. I love what I do. Itās all I ever wanted to do. To hit 300 + members in 2 months is insane and I never would have thought this thing would take off this quick! Iām speechless. And so excited for the future of this pup right now! A gym in Gladstone isnāt necessary... What could be more necessary. Im so proud of what we have and what weāre starting. Weāre changing lives one member at a time. So if your looking for something better, life changing and a crazy hilarious Environment where you can come to every day, leave reality for one hour thatās dedicated to you becoming better, then swing in! Change your life. Be apart of gym where your not just another member where no ones cares. I cared enough to dedicate my life to give you a healthier one.. thatās the difference. Thatās what separates me from the pack. I care. I want you to become the best version of you. Life is hard. Workout harder.. Life gets better, because you feel better..
