Why You’re Not There Yet – Nik Solomos Tells It Straight
It’s easy to see the gyms, the brand, the success—but what you don’t see is the man who was homeless at 19, raised in survival mode, and fought through rejection, trauma, and heartbreak to build a fitness empire. In this episode of Tabooze, Sherien sat down with Nik Solomos, founder of Derrimut 24:7 Gyms, Australia’s largest gym empire, for a raw and unfiltered conversation about what it really takes to build something from nothing. We talk about why most people never reach their goals, how he fought to stay in his son’s life, and the mindset that carried him through it all.
