Arm wrestling, push up challenges and some good old country living (aka, endless amounts of yard work). I’m grateful that these memories make up some of my fondest moments as a child.
I don’t have an inspiring fitness transformation story for you, I have consistency, hard work and a genuine love for working out. I grew up in a family of six, with parents who educated us on healthy eating, encouraged us to exercise and provided us the opportunity to play sports. To top it off I grew up with a mom who was an entrepreneur and stories of a grandfather that was a business mogul in his time.
I opened Blended Athletics in 2013 when I was 26 years old. Pursuing Excellence is more than two words on the front of the building, its the philosophy of our brand, it’s my life, and I want to share it with people who love fitness as much as I do. My hope is members will use Blended Athletics to improve themselves personally, professionally and socially in a never ending pursuit of becoming the best version of themselves.
