energy explosion

In August our gym, Energy Explosion, celebrated 5 years in business. They say that 80% of small businesses fail within the first year of doing business. Of the 20% that survive, another 80% of them are expected to fail by the time year 5 rolls around. Because of the not so favorable statistics, we were beyond grateful when we made it to this huge milestone for any small business. We have been lucky that the economy hasn't had a negative impact on us and every single month that we have been in business has been at least a little bit better than the month previous. We have been blessed with amazing support from our friends, family, clients and mentors, but most of all, our employees. We have such a great team and I am so thankful for them. Each of our trainers have tons of knowledge in the the health and fitness industry, but it's their ability to connect with people, their compassion, and their understanding of the importance of relationships that really make all of them fabulous. We are so lucky to have a team of people that are aligned with our vision. A team that is able to see the big picture. A team that understands that it's not just about teaching people how to lose weight, but how to encourage people to be their best selves. Thank you Matt, Nicole, Isaiah, Kayla and Chris for being on our team and being a huge part of the reason we have been able to be so successful in our first 5 years of business! I am also hugely grateful for how hard and smart Zac works. He is constantly thinking of new ideas and different ways to make our business better. He is the best business partner anyone could ask for. He works his butt off to make sure everything is running smooth and successful, but he's also great at leaving work at work and being present during family time. I appreciate that when he gets home from work, he's my husband and Zion's daddy, and he puts business in the back of his mind until he's back at the office the next day. I know it's hard to balance everything, so thank you, Zac, for working so hard at it. Thanks for being the number 1 reason Energy Explosion is where it's at today!
