The Gym Nation Family
About
Welcome to Gym Nation, and the dream of our family
Our beginning
We officially opened our doors for members on February 14th, 2019. However, the dream of the opening Gym Nation started 33 years ago when Elizabeth was only 14 years old. As a teenager, her heart’s passion for fitness was awakened when she joined the cross-country running team and started taking Aerobic classes. She embraced the training and quickly discovered the enjoyment of overall fitness in both body and spirit. Her passion became even more apparent with the rush of endorphins with each workout, making her a happier and healthier person. These endorphins led her to the discovery of her purpose in life: to one day own her own gym and help others find similar happiness in their lives. For Elizabeth, she was immediately drawn to fitness. She eagerly sought ways to learn all she could from her coaches and instructors. Thereof, she found she was able to instruct and lead others to reach their physical potentials. In those first few years of learning about fitness, she enrolled in girl’s weight training classes and was able to find strength, power, endurance, while simultaneously improving physical appearance and presentation. Even outside of school sports and activities, she spent many nights in her garage all alone with her “boom box” player teaching “Virtual” fitness classes. As such, unbeknown to friends, to family, and to Elizabeth, she was already living within her purpose, within her dream.
“I absolutely love this gym. The owner and her husband are very friendly. Elizabeth speaks to everyone and is very warming. Mrs. Peggy, who is in childcare is very good with the children. The classes are also great. Also, my schedule sometimes requires me to workout late and I feel very secure going there. It’s amazing! Oh, I can’t forget to add that they are very clean!” – Kenyori; Google Review
Today, with the support and encouragement of Elizabeth’s husband, John, and the patience and understanding of their boys…. Her lifelong dream, which began over 33 years ago, of owning and opening a fitness facility, for the purpose of sharing with others her passion for working out and living a healthy lifestyle is now a reality.
We welcome you to Gym Nation, and look forward to you being a part of the dream…
