The Underdog Story

Opening a gym was always a distant dream for Kevin and Jess. Their passion for fitness and love for each other has led them down the path to chase this dream together. After a few years of coaching in a big box gym and working with clients, a global pandemic caused a shift in plans and perspective. Stemming from previous success of one-on-one and group training, Kevin and Jess began training clients out of their garage to allow people to continue their health and wellness journeys despite the circumstances. They found out soon that these demands outweighed their small space. Looking to continue to train clients in a sustainable way, they knew they needed to expand. Standing firm on their core values, they knew the only way to achieve the success they wanted, how they wanted it done, was to go all in.

THE DREAM BECOMING A REALITY

Underdog was opened shortly after in 2021 with the ambitious vision to create more than just a gym. The goal was to create a space that allowed people to feel confident, supported, and surrounded by community. A place to call home. A place where people are loved the second they walked through the door. At first, the expectations of owning and operating a gym was to build a space to personally train clients and group classes for all types of people, continuing to drive their passion for fitness. However, this duo did not anticipate the magnitude to which Underdog Fitness would grow.

THE GROWTH

Not only has Underdog Fitness facilitated successful lifestyle changes for many individuals, but Underdog has also made a name for itself in the Hybrid Fitness and Obstacle Course Racing worlds. This wave allows them to train athletes at a high level to achieve great feats in their sports. The success that they have had thus far is incredible but does not detour them from striving for more. They are committed to serving each and every member of the Underdog Fitness community to help them reach new heights in their personal endeavors. Kevin and Jess pride themselves on what they have created with Underdog Fitness.

THE UNDERDOG WAY

Underdog is a space where people can come to redefine and rediscover their perception of fitness. Built on the pillars of functional fitness for life and longevity, Underdog guides all members and athletes to find their love for health and wellness in their own way. Thriving on motivation and infectious energy, Underdog shines a spotlight on each member of its community. This couple believes all wins are important, no matter how big or small, and all should be celebrated. That mindset is at the forefront of how things are done at this gym. All that Kevin and Jess want is for everyone to feel that they belong within the four walls of Underdog Fitness.
