Brody on top of our first order of equipment |
Here is a little history on where we started: Versus actually didn't start in the little warehouse where we are now. Kellar had a Boot Camp class that met at Wesley Medical walking track 2 times a week. Those 10-15 boot campers were the first actual members! To you guys and gals, I can not thank you enough for sticking with us at the beginning when we didn't have any equipment and didn't even have a building! Thank you!
While I was still working at smoothie king (off the clock Travis) I drove around looking for buildings that would be suitable for our type of gym. We finally found our little warehouse on Liberty Place.
When I walked into the building in August and immediately began to sweat, I knew we were in the right spot. It was covered in dust, had crazy looking walls that gave people the feel that we are sponsored by Lowes and concrete floors. HOME!
We had to do a little remodeling at first. By little I mean we had to take out an entire office wall, keep it intact and place back where it came from. Paint the Floor (thanks marc). Rip up some angle iron (thanks MMT). Replace all the outlets and install some new ones (thanks tyler, dad and papa). Paint (thanks Kellar).

At first I would meet people at the gym whenever they wanted. But after we got 30-40 people we started to offer time slots to attend classes. My first real class was 6am. You guys and gals are true warriors. I do not know how you get up and put on the performances you do at 6am. And you do it with great attitudes! I always get motivation from you guys. The second class time we had nailed down was 9am. Holy hand grenade batman. All I will say is this... you are my "favorite class." Finally we have the afternoon crew. You guys have been with us forever! I can not thank you enough for sticking with me. You guys are like family to us. THANK YOU.
lots of concrete and new pullup bars |
Again, none of this would be possible without you guys. I thank the Lord all the time for you guys. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Here is to another 2 years or 20!
