THE GYM SAVED MY LIFE ⬇️

Pic 1️⃣) This was the 1st time I ever stepped foot into the gym. 17 years old, no idea what I was doing & no idea why I was in there.. But God was telling me I should be there..

Pic 2️⃣) I stuck with it. Two years into working out I was still staying consistent in the gym. It was my therapy. It helped me with all the emotions of being made fun of for having 1 eye, trying to become an influencer, being different, etc. I found something I enjoyed & loved the process of bettering myself.

Pic 3️⃣) I met my fiancée in the gym after a few years into working out. Thanks to the gym, I found my best friend, my soon to be wife, the most amazing person who i have ever met, .vfit ❤️

Pic 4️⃣) Thanks to the gym, staying consistent, & putting in the work for 4 years, I became a athlete & got to join 1 of the tightest family knit supplement companies out there. & his team have forever changed my work ethic & drive to be better everyday. 💪🏽

Pic 5️⃣) I got the keys to build my own gym. After working out for almost 5 years I decided to create a gym & try to encourage others to step foot into the gym & better themselves as well.

Pic 6️⃣) The finished product of ( ) my gym. I learned through working out that you never quit & you don’t do things 50%. So I built this gym in 3 months, & made it as amazing as I possibly could. I gave everything I had. I had no idea what I was doing because I had never made a gym before, but i put in the work & made my vision and dreams come true.

Pic 7️⃣) Creating ANOTHER gym 8 months later! This was one of the most surreal moments of my life. In picture 1 when I was 17 years old stepping into the gym for the very 1st time, I would have never thought I would own my own gyms. But here I am years later after the gym changing my life, building gyms to change others lives as well. One gym at a time, I will change lives… and this is only the beginning. ⚡️

Pic 8️⃣) Today, I stand here building my second gym with my best friends & giving it 100% still, to change lives. 💪🏽

Gym, thank you for changing my life. ❤️

I am opening another gym 🔑

Flex Factory is coming to Sioux Falls, South Dakota!

After opening my first gym 9 months ago and exceeding all expectations, I’m excited to announce the next Flex Factory gym in Sioux Falls. This new location will feature even more unique equipment you won’t find anywhere else. I can’t wait to get started!

When I first dreamed of opening my own gym, I knew it wouldn’t be easy. But with hard work, taking risks, and not giving up, I made it happen. Now, as I get ready to open my second gym, I see how far I’ve come. This journey shows that believing in yourself and pushing through challenges can make your dreams come true. If I can do it, so can you. ⚡️

marathon prep week one ✅

i never thought i would enjoy running. i have always avoided it because of how difficult i thought it would be.. Truth is, it is difficult. But doing the hard things in life are the most rewarding. So, before i even started running, i signed myself up for a marathon 15 weeks away. Because i can do hard things. So can you. Just believe in yourself and do it. ⚡️

Today vs 3 weeks ago..

The last month has been one of the toughest months of my life, but i’m finally feeling a lot better. It feels amazing to be back in the gym. I am so grateful to be healthy again 🙌🏽

05/03/2024

4 weeks ago, I had a feeling that I was starting to get sick. The next morning I woke up to a fever of 104.9°. Over the next 8 days, I battled a severe sickness of covid & influenza a. After finally overcoming the sickness, i finally started to feel better again…

Suddenly, just a few days after I started feeling good again, I woke up to a fever of 104° yet again. This time, completely new symptoms. Coughing, Sweats, Chills, Headaches, Vomiting, Shortness of Breath, Wheezing, Loss of Voice, Stomach Pain, and much more.. It was truly the worst sickness I’ve ever had. After going to the doctor, they now tell me that I have influenza b, step throat, and possibly pneumonia. For the next week I keep fighting the sickness, but my fever will not fall under 100°…

So, I decided to try a new doctor. When I got to the doctor and described my terrible month of sickness, she did a few tests and began almost panicking and telling me that I need to go to the ER immediately because she believes I have a life threatening infection in my bloodstream called Sepsis.

On the way to the hospital, I was in a state of shock. I hadn’t been sick in over 3 years, and now my body can’t even fight off the flu as i’m on the way to the hospital thinking my life could end shortly..

When I arrived at the hospital, they pumped me full of IV’s trying to do whatever they could to get the fever down after 4 weeks. Then they began to do X-rays, blood tests and much more to discover if I actually had this life threatening blood infection. After hours & hours of tests, and IV’s, they finally got my temperature down and released me from the hospital with the amazing news that I don’t have sepsis & that my body was just really struggling to fight off what I was going through for those 4 weeks.

Fast forward to 3 days later, I have now been without a fever for 2 days, my voice is starting to come back, i’ve had my first meal in almost 3 weeks, and I am finally not in any pain. I will spend the next few months working on getting back to being fully healthy again. Your prayers and support did not go unnoticed. They truly meant a lot and helped me get through this hard time ❤️
