Inspiring Conversations with Tre Hicks of Elevate Health and Fitness

Today we’d like to introduce you to Tre Hicks

Hi Tre, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I’m a small town guy from Greenville, NC. Graduated from ECU as a captain of the football team.

I’ve always loved health and fitness even though I got my start in finance. I moved to Raleigh to work in North hill in wealth management.

My pastor and I went to lunch one day after a workout, and told me I always lit up anytime I spoke about health and fitness.

I would work people out for free just to help them. Then one day while my wife Ashley was in school at NCCU studying Mass Communication, she was told to make a mock business brochure, a website, and create a media kit.

That launched Elevate With Tre LLC. We had 40 members training in our apartment complex gym in two weeks.

We were members at World Overcomers Christian Church and one of the pastors offered us a vacant space that they weren’t using to expand our gym as we were about to get kicked out of our apartment complex for having too many people in there.

6 years later, we are in our second location after starting in Durham.

We have helped thousands jumpstart their journey in health and fitness.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The road is never smooth.

Moving our location from Durham to Raleigh was definitely a learning curve.

Ashley is from Durham, and she knew the ends and outs. We knew the church members, and surrounding neighborhoods.

We were grateful to work with the Mayor during Covid times for outreach for training with underserved kids.

We partnered with Durham County for summer school activities.

The biggest challenge we had was being pregnant and having to shut down the gym five months after we got started in 2020.

Pivoting our business to being completely online was a welcomed challenge.

As you know, we’re big fans of Elevate Health and Fitness. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
We love to help busy professionals jumpstart their health and fitness journey.

We have a transformative gym, not just about workouts, but heavily support our clients who turn into Elevate Family with strong accountability.

Accountability is the number one reason as to why we are successful.

I always say, “You don’t go to church or the club alone, why do your fitness journey alone”.

You need people to be successful and to stay consistent.

We offer personal training, and our specialty group personalized training. We have our nutrition bar in the gym to support pre and post workout needs.

We also have an amazing meal plan to help support your weight loss, management, or muscle building goals.

Before we go, is there anything else you can share with us?
Starting is better than to doing nothing at all.

You are responsible for your health, so stop putting it off and start today.
