Today we’d like to introduce you to Russ Kessler Jr.
Hi Russ, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
Being a former Marine, fitness has always played a part of my life. So maybe five years ago, I really started pursuing being a trainer so I actually got certified. but honestly, I didnt want to just train, I wanted to have my own gym. yet trying to afford space for that isn’t something I could afford. I thought, “how can I be in the business and not go crazy in debt trying and offer something different?” it hit me, a gym that comes to you, a mobile gym.
I started looking for affordable buses. Within one month, I found one and took all the seats and overheads out, put a new floor in and started filling it with equipment, and within another month, I had my first client training in the bus. I have been doing this since February of 2019 and still having a full-time job; it hasn’t bloomed enough for it to be my passion all the time, but I believe one day soon it will.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
The road hasn’t been all the way smooth. Between the a/c going out and costing money I didn’t have or last year’s covid I haven’t been able to push this exciting idea. Not having the extra money to advertise or have the time to go to neighborhoods has been the biggest issues. but God is great and He has made a way so far.
