Owner, CF-L3
A few years ago, I saw a disturbing trend in the local fitness community. Class sizes were growing larger and larger. The training and professionalism of coaches seemed to shrink by the day. Each class seemed to be a competition to see how many different workouts could be programmed in one hour. Everything I saw seemed to scream “Quantity over quality.”
I wanted something better, for myself and for the clients I worked with. I wanted to focus on Quality. Quality coaching, movement, programming, relationships. I don’t believe More is Better. I believe that Better is Better. I decided there must be a better way. A way to keep the community smaller, and focus on building meaningful relationships and trust with people. To stop the endless churn of losing clients. To intentionally go smaller, instead of bigger. To go a mile deep, instead of a mile wide. I set out to create the gym of my own dreams, and the result is the Ripple Effect. We might not be changing the world on a global level, but we’ll do our best to change the world for our members and our families. In a world full of turmoil and uncertainty, we’re here to be a rock for our members that they can rely on, to be their firm foundation no matter what happens. Outside the gym, I’m a dad to two awesome boys (Jaxson and Luca), an avid Minnesota United fan, and one of those weirdos who actually likes burpees in a workout.
