Tucson Strength Origin Story
Tucson Strength started in a small community park as a kettlebell class. I was working as manager of a gym chain and putting in 70 hours a week. When bonus time came they said they couldn’t afford the promised $8,000 bonus. I was disappointed, but believed the owners didn’t have the money. The very next day they pulled up in a brand new BMW. I had a 4 month baby at home and a family to support. With no money in the bank I quit my job. I had a friend that found a few ladies that wanted to train and took some kettlebells I owned and met them in the park a few blocks from my house. We were rained on, chased by bats, and eaten by mosquitos.
Within a few months I rented a spot that was smaller than the turf area of our current gym. I borrowed $25,000 from my parents and opened a spot with 5 clients. Till this day I still can’t believe what Tucson Strength has become. We started small and have grown into an amazing community. I am so grateful for every person that is or has been part of our community. God has put some amazing people in my life to make all of this happen.
When you walk into Tucson Strength you aren’t just walking into a gym. You are part of an amazing community built by a passion to help become stronger and overcome their own obstacles in life.
