Hey there, familia! It’s your dedicated gym owner, personal trainer, coach, and friend here, pouring my heart out to all of you today.

I can hardly believe it’s been 12 whole years since I started this incredible personal training journey that lead me toward opening my own Eagan gym, Resistance, 2 years ago. Time flies when you’re having fun, right?

As the gym starts it’s third year next month. I wanted to do a look back. I can’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Every day, I have been blessed to witness the transformative power of strength training firsthand. And let me tell you, it’s a beautiful sight to behold.

I’ve seen you push through pain, frustration, and exhaustion, only to emerge on the other side with newfound strength and determination. And let me tell you, my heart swells with pride every time I witness your victories, big or small.

But it’s not just about the physical changes. It’s about the mental and emotional transformations as well. I’ve watched as you shed layers of self-limiting beliefs, doubts, and insecurities. I’ve seen you rise above your fears and embrace a newfound sense of self-worth. Your progress extends far beyond your deadlift PR. It’s the way you carry yourselves with confidence, the way you radiate positivity, and the way you inspire others around you.

Each one of you has a story, a unique set of goals and dreams. And it’s an absolute honor to be a part of your journey, to stand by your side, and maybe nudge you to do more from time to time. We’ve laughed together, cried together, and celebrated together. And through it all, we’ve built a community that’s more than just a gym. We’ve built a family that supports, encourages, and uplifts one another.

Thank you for trusting me with your health, your dreams, and your personal growth. Thank you for showing up day after day, putting in the hard work, and never giving up. You are the reason we keep going, the driving force behind everything we do.

Remember, that the strength you build in the gym is not confined to these walls. It spills over into every aspect of your life, empowering you to be the best version of yourself. So keep pushing, keep striving, and keep believing in your potential. And please, DON’T STOP!

Let’s continue to inspire, uplift, and transform lives, both within and outside these walls. Here’s to many more years of growth, laughter, and victories together. Our family has inspired 3 clients to become personal trainers themselves! And I can’t think of a better testament to the value of what we do here.

With heartfelt gratitude, especially for Matt and Jenn being the most trusted employees you could ever ask for. Thanks for the long time clients (you know who you are) your passion and attitude is what keeps new clients coming back. Our mission is just getting started.

Mark – Proud Gym Owner
