Speaker 1 (00:00):
You start off with two people teaching fitness classes in
your garage at your house, and you have since taken
over really a full shopping center that's ours, and you
start a whole business while you work in security at
Tyler pair Studios. And from two people in a garage,
you have now created where it's eight hundred people on
a Saturday morning. Tyler Perry came to Effect Fitness and
(00:21):
he noticed that you never took off ada.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
He said that working at Tyler Paris Studios one of
the greatest things that ever happened to me. If he
was working more than the executives. You cannot skip steps,
you cannot skip the horror port, you cannot skip the
broke nights.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
You grow so much from working hard.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
So many people, like I said, they want to post
their way into success, consistently posting, but I'm not consistently working.
That doesn't change this, It doesn't grow this.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Here's the thing that I tell people when they talk
about Effect Fitness, It's not a gym, it's a family.
It's a community. You never know who you're working out
next to, rappers, actresses, NFL players. I have watched so
many people walk through those doors and they are on
blood pressure medication when they walk in and after three months,
(01:04):
six months, no medication, no knee brace. It was one
day in the class. You like, lift your arms. They
just your arms, They just your legs. That's the key.
They just my arm.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
You are a product of your decisions. You are here
because you're supposed to be here. Yeah, you need to
own it and grow from Hereuse you're thinking you're not
supposed to be here. You're gonna keep me here here.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
That is so good.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
You're gonna keep being here.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
That's a lot.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Like this, you don't, Homie, listen.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
I like this already listen.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I had to because you've done all of that.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
You've done all of that. I mean, people don't know
the interview happens before the interview.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Yeah, the pregame happened before we I mean we talked
about it. I met you in twenty sixteen, and you
had just moved out of your garage teaching fitness classes
in your garage at your house, into a little office
(03:52):
building in the base. Yeah, in the basement on Baltimore
Place in Atlanta. Yeah, and that's where I'm at you.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I just told you. I was very insecure about my
garage too, by the way.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Yeah, and I.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Don't think people realize, like it's kind of hard to
sell your garage to Brandy Harvy.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I want to tell a true story about what happened
in that garage slash apartment slash townhouse. I actually got evicted.
See most people think that we moved, we was gonna move,
but I actually got evicted because you're not supposed to
run a business from your apartment. And then I more
(04:32):
of my thought about I was like, what's wrong with that?
And then you got a hundred people walking out of
this garage some days. So I actually got evicted because
I actually had to go through the whole eviction process
of like not really victed because I can't pay. I'm
actually victed because you can't have a business. I got
music playing, I got classes all day going on. So
I actually got evicted from four fifty people. But that's
(04:54):
been cleaned up since then.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I mean evicted because you start off with two people,
two people. Your uncle gives you these two people to
say can you train them for them? And you start
a whole business. Why you work in security at Tyler
Pair Studios.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Which people don't know? Still our securities? I used to
I kind of this thing that I always tell people.
I used to answer the phone security offer solutions. Why
am I so good at this? Looking back at that,
that was so that was good for me because I
needed that job because you know, I think, you go
to college, you're gonna come out of college making one
hundred thousand dollars a year. You're gonna be successful. I
had no intentions on ever training nobody. It was either
(05:31):
I was going to play football and never I went
to be worried about trying to train somebody to get
them to work out. Then my uncle one day came
to me said, oh, I mean iphyw' I got some
for you. Uh quick, three hundred dollars. They're gonna pay you.
You get to keep this money, but I want them
back after that. Cool, I could do that.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Justin and Darzl was still.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
A current member your current members of effect fitness to this.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Yes, so shout out to Justin and Darzl.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Uh. But after I worked them out, I feel it's like,
y'all gonna pay me one hundred and fifty dollars do that,
and all they did was follow me through a workout. Yeah,
so I get to get one hundred fifty dollars from
all the people that could tell us to do. I
was like, I'm gonna start doing this. That didn't sell
me though. My uncle told me, your nephew, you can
(06:18):
make about eighty two one hundred thousand dollars doing this
a year. I was like, oh, that's not enough, but okay, okay,
we're getting close.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
More and more I started to think about.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I said, well, why you only can make an eighty
to one hundred He said, well, that's all I'm willing
to do. So you mean to tell me it's no
salary cap, there's no limit. I can as many as
I can handle. That's how much money I can make
I'm gonna turn this shit.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Up, but not Joe.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
So you did this because somebody says, that's all I'm
willing to work.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
And that lit something in me.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I don't think people even understand, Like I thought, uncle's
lazy personally.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
That's like something I think I can do a little
bit more.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
He said, that's all I want to work for it.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
That's all I want to do. Nephew.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Yeah, and you took it. And here's the thing. And
I told you just before we started. I told Jada
this when we were talking about this in pre production.
I said, if there is a person who if somebody says, Brandy,
I need to put a list of people together, of
some of the most consistent people. You know, I am
putting Duly on the list.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Put me in number one.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I'm putting you on the list. I'll put you in
number one.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
No, put me in number one. And the only reason
why I'm telling you, the only reason why I'm telling
you to put me in number one, because now I'm
gonna make sure i'm number one. Yeah, because it's cool
to be surrounded by like great people. But when you
tell me that you need me, and I gotta do
something that's exactly what I'm gonna do because that's important
to me.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
You have done it. I have watched you since twenty sixteen.
Not one day is a five thirty am class canceled
you not doing that. It is not a no. Those
people and what you said to me when I first
met you, they expect me here, b they expect me
to be here year, and I'm gonna make sure I'm
here absolutely, and you open those doors every day.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
I think that's the thing. Like I said, the accountability
part for me is I like to.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
I want people to know that I got them.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
One of my favorite things to say is that I
got you.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
And I'm not just saying that because it's something I
can do for you, saying no, I really got you,
like I'll be here.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
I'm gonna be here tomorrow and the day after that too.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
So that's important to me to let people know that
I got them.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
And that's why I think that's why I think we
have been self successful the faith because it's just consistent.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Yeah, it's just consistent.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
I mean I started in that basement in that office building.
Then I mean I was there for maybe two three
months and then I moved on to you to another
location and then was there for maybe a year, six months,
it was. It wasn't even a year. Ye, we did
not make any and then move with you to another location.
This is how rapid growth like, this is how fast
(09:01):
your business was growing.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
It was growing, it was growing.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
It was again like I said that when we first
moved to that second Okay, you got to think at
that time, people's memberships. It comes more for people to
part than their memberships. Yeah, and that's why people don't realize.
The biggest package you could have in the fake finish
in twenty sixteen was a sixty dollars membership. That mean
you can do all the classes trained with me to
do everything you want.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
To do for sixty dollars sixty dollars.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Sixty dollars a kind of embarrassing, but for six everything yeah,
humble beginning, so you could do anything. But then, like
I said, because again I couldn't sell the fact that
you had to pay three dollars and fifty cent apart
every time you drove to that gate.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
So long story short, we start growing, we start growing,
and it was time to.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Move and I'm like, thank god, but we was moving
to one of the most desirable neighborhoods was moving to Metropolitan.
And like I said, some of the things that inspired
me is for a lot of people tell me what
I can't do, and they told us don't move them
Metropolitm because it's bad.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
It's the hood.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
You gotta think, this is twenty sixteen Metropolitan in twenty sixteen.
There's no belt line. No, there's no belt.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Line there was. This is pre gentrification.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
This is no belt line. It's no belt line. Even
it's not so it's no belt line. It's no, it's
no people walking and jogging in the neighborhood. At that time,
you got to think the average annual income for Metropolym
was on like twenty.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Nine thousand dollars a year.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Yeah, so we want to move into a goal man,
We was moving to it, like you sure you want
to do this?
Speaker 3 (10:32):
But I knew I wanted to do it.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Because I got tired of saying, okay, do we got
our own parking space and we got a roof, it's bathrooms,
Well I can make it work.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Yeah, And I knew that though.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I mean, that's the thing about it. You were never
afraid to pick up and move the growth. You always
had this belief like if we got more, we're gonna
fill it up.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
We'll feel it up, because.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Even I'll growing the third gem, because that was the
third spot grew. And I remember you took me over
there one day. It was one day after class. You
said what you're doing? And he was like, I want
you to come see something. I'm like, okay, where you
want me to come see? I was like, what does
he want me to come see? And it was a
(11:17):
group of us that you took over there, and we
get in the car and we ride down the street
to the new spot. Not a wall, not a turf,
not a machine, not a nothing in sight, and you
laid out the vision for what you saw for that place.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
The best thing about that conversation that we had was
the conversation that had earlier that day with some people.
And they was like, don't do it. Stay comfortable, really, yes,
stay comfortable, stay down the street. You can afford the rent.
You got everything. All I kept thinking was I have
no I have no I don't want to be nothing
(11:58):
like the person that was talking to me. But I
heard what they said.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
I like, why are you talking to me like this?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Okay, cool. So but the thing about it what was
so inspiring to him? And they said they just stay
right here, you're gonna be able to take this over.
But I was taking over nothing.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I was literally about to take over nothing. I was like,
this is not our home.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Let's move. I knew we had parking spaces.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
I knew we had space to grow, and I knew
that if we did things right, we'll be gonna.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Be we was gonna be all right.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I mean, and you have since taken over really a
full shopping center that's ours. Every It was so many
businesses that were there. It were other businesses. It was
Dan studios that came and went. It was tax places,
it was print places.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
It was yeah, it was nail shopping.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
It was a nail size, I mean, all the.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Things, restaurants.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Yeah, and you have now really taken over that that
whole shopping center.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Yeah. I just think, like I said, we just we
just kind of and we love we love the community
over there. Though you had to think about the people's
lives that were affecting over there, the the the way
we're able to.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Give back Again, we don't just come here to make money.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
We're in that community because we're helping some of those kids,
We're mentoring some of those kids, we're training some of
those kids. We got backpacked drives for all of those kids.
So we ain't just in there to make some money
off the neighborhood. Were in there to like he grow
it and make it a little better. Yeah, it's good.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
I mean, here's the thing that I tell people when
they talk about effect fitness, It's not a gym. It's
a family. It's a community. It is culture. Like you
never know who you're working out next to. Like you
working out next to rappers, actresses, NFL players, congress mayors,
for mayors, you are working out the school board members,
(13:48):
the commission that you are working out next to every
indy and everybody, and the environment that is so loving
that nobody cares who you are what you do.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Nobody.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
They don't care who your daddy is. I don't care who.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Not that music plan, music plan, they don't care.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
No one cares who you are. Yeah, we come in
here to work out. We're coming to get it in
and from two people in the garage, you have now
created where it's eight hundred people on a Saturday morning.
That's work an average, averaging eight hundred people in one
workout class.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yeah, I again a testament to the team and the people, right,
because it's never just me.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
No, it's never it's never just me.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
And the beautiful thing about it is we've put people
in place. I've put people in place to where we
all can grow. Like I said, if it's just me
benefiting from all of this, nobody will still be being there.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
But he's like so many people. It's a vine.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
That's all I've ever thought about, was like being able
to help people and give back. So we've put people
in place where they're bringing more people and they're able
to grow and then were able.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
To reach out to more people.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
It's like it's just like you said, it's coaches, communities, fan,
it's Black Wall Street.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Yeah, it's because people don't understand all the businesses that
are spawned in this under this roof. Right, My sister
and I had a business at one time under that roof.
The best popcorn you've ever ever tasted, right at L
(15:22):
You had at L which was we had lot of pepper. Yeah,
a t O was a barbecue and lemon pepper mixed together.
It was It tastes like Atlanta. It tastes like Atlanta.
We did German chocolate cake, we did. We did garlic
tramagan that all the things right under the pop twim
(15:44):
pop where we popping. We was so good.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
It was so good.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
It was so good. But we knew that I was
ultimately not our path together. Bless our heart, y'all. We were.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
We were.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
It was so good, but baby, we was on each
other nerves so bad.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
But to see other people, I mean Canada's Hawk was
spreading the health Devika over with edurb and Fresh. I
mean there was just so many businesses that you saw
that now have locations and businesses that are thriving all
over in the community that you know that it's bigger
than just the gym.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Yeah, And that's that was the thing, is like, if
we can I wanted to create a place you remember this.
I know you're going to remember this. So when we
was at Baltimore, I used to hate for people to
leave because they would always come back to the ten
o'clock class late.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
So one day I was talking on.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
A Saturday morningday morning, it was a Saturday morning, why
can't we.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Make our own juice?
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Everybody used to go to smoothie King or these different places.
I was like, well, you can't make no juices and
then you can't have no fruit.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
And snacks with these people.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
So it kind of started with that, and I was like,
let's just have our own stuff, let's have let's create a.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Place and envite more people never.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Have to leave where people never have they never have
to leave. And here's the thing. Candace would pull these
juices in in a cooler that she would drag in
only have like maybe sixteen juices twenty max. Once they
was gone, they was gone. It was a girl there
who cut fruit and had like fruit cups already had
like little breakfast little muffin thing, little egg things, so
(17:22):
you didn't have to leave on a Saturday morning in
between the break between an eight am and a ten
am class and so you could just So that was
really the start.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
That's definitely it was to start.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
And now Candace has two locations Botting doing good, doing great,
two locations because I mean contract contract, contract after contract
after contract. These people who quit their other jobs that
they had to then pursue these businesses full time.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Yeah, that's that's big, Like I said, they but I'm
thankful to them because they allowed me to just better
focus on the gym. You don't have to worry about
keeping people attention. They was y'all through that part, let
me do this part. Let's but that's what make a great.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Team, and that was the community. And that's what makes
this place I feel so magical, so important to like
what the culture of Atlanta is. Yeah, you know what
is created in the city of Atlanta that makes it
so different from other places. It's so black, Baby did
the black.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
It's so glad, it's so blad. It's just though it's
just us.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
But it is us and it is I mean, because
where else are you going to see eight hundred black
people working out, not fighting, no fighting, fighting, no, no,
no fight. None of this is going on, just working
out in the morning am on a Saturday, five thirty
am on five Monday through back now Monday through Friday.
(18:52):
Out the door. It looks like the club it is.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
I'm just proud to just be a member of the
whole thing.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
I'm a member.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I'm proud to be a party. I just like to
do my part. Let's keep doing our parts. And I
think that's what I want every member, whether you're in house,
or virtual to understand, like you, we're a part of
something special. God is special. Like I can remember, this
is Monday morning. I'm teaching class, and I'm just looking
around the room.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
What I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
The person in the front of the room on the camera,
she's twenty eight years old. And I got a lady
on the far right corner, she's seventy year old. That's Maureen.
And I got people in the middle of room. They're
forty five fifty, and I got some damn you twenty five.
What you're doing here? Oh you're working out right next
to your mom. She's fifty five. And I just look
(19:40):
around that room. Some days I'm just kind of blown
away by them. Yeah, I'm blown away by like the culture,
the community, the people that we've brought together, and I'm like, wow,
I can't let these people down. These people fucking depending
on me, and I'm I'm thankful for them. Yeah, that's why,
that's why I want. That's why I every class by saying,
(20:00):
can we give it up for somebody on that first day?
Because I know it's somebody the first day and I
never want them to meet my representatives. You never catch
me where I didn't come on ready to performance. And
I treat every class like what if I don't get
to do this again? Yeah, So that's why I try
to try to be prison as I possibly can.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
I mean, here's the thing. You know that if you
go to Effect Fitness in Atlanta, or you're your online
your online member, because COVID really was a blessing to
your business.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
And then, like I said, respectfully to COVID, like I said,
because and I got to give what the people that
in the facebooks and the instagrams they created, thank y'all
for shutting us down.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
They said, no, because you got shut down that while
you were doing during COVID. I have to tell this
because during COVID went, we went live for free. When
live every single day on Instagram for free every single
day five thirty am, twelve noon and five thirty pm
during COVID, during quarantine, you went live on Instagram for
(20:58):
people to do the workouts, would tell them what equipment
they needed and this, and live what's happening at that time.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
But again, you got so many you gotta think about it.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Where you're trying to do that, you're trying to do that,
You're just trying to do it you can't play certain music,
you don't gonna be on there being a certain amount
of time, and more and more I start to think
about it, it's like they don't even feel right. I'm
at the mercy of so many different like let's don't
I don't want I don't want this to be us.
But then when they finally shut us down, which I'm
not looking back at it, thank you, thank you for
(21:29):
saying no. Someone getting told no with some of the
best things that ever happened to me personally. So when
that no was so good because it said I just
get this app on, and then once the app happened,
was like, we ain't dealing with that no more.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
I mean, because you got shut down on Instagram for
like a month or so, almost two months, they.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Try to go to Facebook, and it's so many different
things like you know, well, let's not.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Deal with that.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
And so for that time, people are not working out.
They are like they're going crazy crazy, They're going crazy
trying to get these workouts. And then you get the
app and it just blows you up. Because you have
three thousand members in house that come in the building,
that come in the building on a weekly basis, Yeah,
(22:12):
the virtue is worth more, and the virtue is like,
we're gonna give us a number.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
There's got way more. We got way more, bless we blessed.
I know, honestly, No, you got you got ten thousand
people on that app? Shut up newly, I got ten
thousand people on that app.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
And that's but that's that's why we travel. Now, that's
why we started the trips. We were saying, hey, let's
go to Miami. Hey let's go to Chicago. Let's take
this trip to LA because the app kind of dictates
where we go to promote and do new classes.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Because you got to think what we do is we
gather information.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
So you got the app, The app tell you where
everybody's doing the class from. Yeah, so La, Like we
got this many people in LA doing this app? Oh,
you got this many people in DC doing this up.
Let's go in the city and do a class for them. Yeah,
and now they all pull up, and now we got
a whole nother situation going on.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I mean, live events.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
It has been it's been great.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
I mean it has grown from two I have to
remind people of this, two people ten years.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Both of them out this morning. Those two people. I
cussed them both out this morning, y'all doing.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Them right there, Still still showing up at five thirty
in the morning.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Still showing up.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Justin is there at for forty five doors a little
bit later, but they still I'm still there.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
But that's the thing, like ten years ago with two people.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yeah, that's I take pride in that because I always
tell people that just kind of shows you the quality
of the people that you're doing business with and working with.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Because after a couple of years was dealing with people.
I'm done with this. Yeah, But now I try to
stay consistent.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
I try to make sure that I'm always getting better
because as an entrepreneur, I don't be I personally believe
that you or your business won't grow unless you continue
to grow as a person. And I pride myself and
let me keep getting better, man, let me keep getting better.
Let's just let me just find a way to keep growing,
keep evolving. And I think that's how the business keeps
growing and getting better too.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
I totally see it. Yeah, but I tell you it is.
As David Shan says, consistency is the cheat code.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Yeah, it's the simplest thing you can do.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
It's the simplest thing you can do because it is
just repetition. And the more you do stuff. And here's
the thing about watching duly grow this business over the
last ten years, almost ten years that I've known.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
You easily.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
To see one, of course, more and more people multiply
the other people the vine, the people that are affected
by it. But then when you look at the community effect,
right when you look at a five K happening in
the middle of the hood on Metropolitan.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Can you know why it happened? Remember that day y'all
all misclassed. Y'all was going to do the the race
on the race on the fourth of ju Line and
everybody like to go do that was so aspiring because
I was like, we like to be so pro black,
but then we don't do black things, Like let's start
(25:10):
our own race, but then let's start on the blackest
street in Atlanta. What street is black? And in Metropolitan
there is, there's not a street avenue. They had to
change the name. Yeah, so that was so inspiring for
me when I said, when we first moved into that building,
I said, we're gonna have our own race and it's
gonna be right on this street.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
And today we got our own race and it's right
on that street.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
It is a five K, officially certified five K five K.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
We ain't just calling people to come run down, up
and down Metropolitan. It's official.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
It is an official five K happening. And this is
why I think it's so important.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
And it's always on Juneteenth.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
It's always on June teenth, which is.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Yeah, that's ours, that's ours.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
I bet not.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
I better not catch your lass on Peace Street and
if I don't see you on Metropolitan or be.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Upset, because it's real. It is so real.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
I'm serious about that. I'm very serious about that.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Because we talk so much and do so little. We
be talking, so we got an opinion about everything. Everything,
everything this got shut down. The greatest thing that we
can do is start working on us.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
It is the greatest thing.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
It's the greatest thing we can do.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
And I think that that's the beauty of why even
when people want to get their life together, when you
want to get your life together, what do you have
to do? You got to focus on you, right, And
that's why the gym is such a great place, because
it gives you the opportunity to just start working.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
It's good to work. Yeah, yeah, that's what you got
to think about. You just said when we're talking about
working out with his arms legs, like, if you can
just just lock in on you, whether it's your arms,
your legs, and just start moving them. I always say,
if you just start moving yours, don't worry about the
person next to you.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Know what about you?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Mama had these kind of legs. I hear so many stories,
Well my mama got this kind of need. We're not working,
We're not working, we're not working neees today. Today we're
working on this part of your body. Just focus on that.
But but we're never gonna work need. I hear so many people.
I'm just running my family. Nobody runs in your family.
Nobody runs in your family. If you did these things,
(27:24):
that stuff would die.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Let me say this. Dooley has had people come in
that class within Hailer's Julie, I can't do your class.
I'm a Heiler, Dully. I'm on this medication, I'm on that,
I'm on this brace, I got this ailment, I got everything.
And what do you tell them people when they were.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Just give it to me and I take I take
in Hailer's I take knee braces. I take all those pills,
I say, you know, we don't. Let's just give me,
give me my time.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
And I have watched over the last ten years, so
many people walk through those doors and they are on
no blood pressure. They're on blood pressure medication when they
walk in. And after three months, six months, nine months,
a year, no medication, no knee brace, no inhaler, no
all the things, and you forty and fifty pounds lighter.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
And then most and poler most of those people are
stronger they've ever been now, like now at their oldest age,
they are as strong as they've ever been.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Yeah, So I take so much for that. I mean
we were talking about this beforehand. When I started working
out with you, I.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Was you ain't coming, you knew what you was doing.
But then you got stronger, Like.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
I was training with your girl every day. I like that,
have me training and cleats, y'all have me training and cleaves.
I had on like running back gloves like every every.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Single but you helped me grow so much. Be thank you, no,
thank you because you allowed me to be. You're not
like as an artist, you like you're painting a picture.
You give me no limitation. You didn't say, dude, don't
try to shit on me today. You didn't say I
don't got this. You didn't say, but this hurt. You
showed up at your training time, you had your glovesone,
(29:10):
you had your clean zone, and we worked at four
hour and a half. Yeah, and I just kept throwing
stuff at you. But you allowed me to better think
like these lady is she's not eighteen, she.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Ain't in the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
No, she even she don't even get to go play
a game, right, she just get to do this next week.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I wouldn't. I was asking myself and work.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
As wins the game.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
When am I going into the combine? Am I drafting?
What am I getting drafted for? It was nothing, but
but that was the point of my time of my life.
When I said I'm just training for life, training for life,
I'm training for my life, it looked like, yeah, I'm
training for my life. I'm training for everything.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
That's everything.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Yeah, yeah, everything that's to come. And I think that
that's the mental part about working out. I'm not training
just for the biceps. I'm not training just to to
have a booty popping. I'm training for everything that life
is gonna throw at me that day, that week, that month,
that year.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Preaching now.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
That this conversation is based on true story.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
We ain't making them know that, we're not making up nothing, y'all.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
It's a true story because there was so many growing
pains that even I know we experience together, and you
finding yourself and growing your business, me finding myself growing
my business, becoming this version. You know, I had to
go through the other version.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
But that's what that's But that's what you You can't
take those out.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
You can't change that.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Like I have to tell people, like you cannot skip
steps in these processes, like not the process, your process,
Like your process is your process, but you cannot skip steps.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
You cannot skip the hard parts.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
You cannot skip the uncomfortable conversation, you cannot skip the
broken nights, you cannot skip the like you can't skip steps. Yeah,
and that's been the beauty of it for me, Like
I've embraced I kind of be looking for like that
when that's coming. But I can also tell you that
that's kind of been one of the things where I'm
kind of growing out.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Of now because it's about abundance. Now.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Yeah, I'm learning to be abundant. I'm learning to do
better with abundance because so many times about my life
has kind of been so hard and rough. Like I
always tell people this thing, like you grow so much
from working hard, but you grow your bank account from
working smart. And so many times in life we get
so caught up and thinking that we have to work
hard and earn and I'm like, that's true, but also
(31:46):
don't ever forget to work smart too. And I had
to learn that because so much about me has been
like work hard, do this like this, and that's how
you grow this.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Then it's like, I just don't working smart too.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
What was one of those moments where you said, I'm
working smarter now.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Some of these partnerships lately, like I'm doing I'm doing
classes in Miami with Gym Shark, and that check is
so crazy. That check is so crazy because it's like
that's all y'all need. I don't go to work all
day and I get this much money. Oh you just
won class today, one forty five minute class.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Yeah on the beach. Yeah, in Miami and.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
New clothes, thank you, Jim Shark. But it's been so
good because, like I said, like it's finally learning that
you don't do that, Like even how we travel, Like
my whole travel model, like we used to travel to
go to these cities, but we're taking fifty to one
hundred people with us.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
We got the whole gym going woo us we shutting
down the gym.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
We don't travel like that no more, like you have
to book us to come to these cities. And now
I was like, now we'll show up. Yeah, so the
travel the model itself has continued to evolve.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Yeah, it is continue to evolve.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Like I always tell people, like, it may not work
anymore like that, And that's okay.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
I mean, because there's been so many moments that you've
had to pivot absolutely along the way.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Yeah, it's like you said with the COVID thing, but
then more importantly just the way just the fitness industry itself,
like everybody's a content creator. Everybody shows to the gym
with cameras. I'm like, that ain't really how we But
then I realized it was like I'm gonna let you
have your camera for this kind of minute. But when it's
(33:23):
trying to work out, let's work. But I always tell
these people that's this content ground. I'm like, be content.
Don't make content.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Like when you when you.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Are like you, you you're the content. Like, quit looking
to make content. Quit, don't go put a whole bunch
of makeup on. Nobody's gonna believe that. Yeah, nobody believes you. Yeah.
How long are you gonna be able to sell this?
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Especially in the gym? Right, especially when you're in the gym.
It's how y'all coming in here? Okay, So back in
the day, Back in the day, dually had work it out.
We had to work out class one day and we
had a lot of we had some you know, pretty
well known reality starts. Yeah, okay, came came into the
(34:09):
gym and I was like they came in there with
full beat down, like hair, hair, everything, everything was popping.
And I was like, Oh, they're not gonna make it
in here, make it. I was like, they're not gonna
make it. And they didn't make it because maybe them
faces was melting because in that environment it doesn't call
(34:31):
for that because this ain't one of them gym.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
We're not doing that. This ain't what we're doing. We're's
a real workout place. Yeah, but like I said, I
had to kind of, like I said, allot let you
take your picture. I put this ship up.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Let's go to work, and let's go to work.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Let's go to work.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
And I think that that's what so many people run from.
They run from the work. They don't believe that it's
going to take as much.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
As it it's going to be so good for you.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Like so many people, like I said, they want to
post their way into success. They want to say, I
make a bunch of posts. I'm consistent, consistently posting, but
I'm not consistently working through like I don't.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
I hope you know that that's not.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Gonna That's so good, dude, They're not gonna that's not
gonna get it.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Now.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
You post, you consist on your posts, but it's no work.
And I hope you know, and I hope that people
know that that doesn't change this. Like it doesn't, It doesn't,
It doesn't grow this. Like I always tell you, I
do ship from my soul. And that's why I never
have to like second guess it, because I just do
(35:35):
it from the right place.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Douley, there there have been so many moments in those
workouts over the years, in that room where you were sweating,
and I have said on many a stage that somebody
might have thought I was sweating, but I was in
there crying. I'm up in there crying. I'm up in
there crying. It looks like I'm sweating, but baby, I'm
(35:58):
up in here crying because due you have this gift
that is so special, it is so unique. If you
sit up in effect long enough, if there are enough people,
they gonna say, oh, the bishop, he was preaching that day.
The Bishop had us in there going today. It was
a good service today because you bring that saul, you
(36:19):
bring that passion, you bring that fire. Every time you
turn on that microphone and you turn that music on,
you know that there is something bigger that you're doing.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Yeah, I don't take that lightly, and I take it
like that right there is something that I were proudly
and not because I'm trying to be the bishop.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
But most important, I'm trying to do right by these people.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
Like I said, everything that I do, I'm never gonna
make this about me, no matter what's going on that day,
no matter what's going on in my life personally, I
just try to show it for those people that's coming
to me, paying me this money to do these classes.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
And again, if you get something from it, we all win.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
Yeah, no, we all win. When you get something from it,
we all win. But it'll never be about just me
and what I what I got going on. It's always
about like, like the purpose that I'm like that whatever,
Like I said, the pain that I might like, the
purpose is so much greater, like these people, these lives
were changing. I know, I know for a fact we're
(37:15):
changing lives. Oh yeah, I know for a fact we're
changing lives. Yeah. My goal is to be greater this year.
I want to save more lives than Greaty.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
My life was changed. My life was changing that room.
The relationships that I was able to make, the people
that I was able to affect, the space that I
had to grow to even find my own self, my
own way. You know, there was a way that was
forged in that boot camp room.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
Yeah, you know, I like I said, this is this
is this is a special place.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
And it's all on Metropolitan, the Black and Street in Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
Because it's no other way to describe it, you know.
And and here's what I want people to also know.
And I think this also speaks to the passion and
the and the soul that you bring you are from Winfield, Louisiana,
where you have said on many a stage.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
And be who I am without it.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
The median income twenty one twenty one thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
I think I'm gonna take it a step further.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Be Like I said, I just moved my dad back
here to Atlanta, and I'm I'm having realer conversations with him.
Because you got to think about it. You have to
think my mom had me when she was seventeen. He
was sixteen. When they first they were like, whoa, you
go back to you already living in this poor place.
But then you you're born, the teenagers, the kids basically,
(38:41):
and you start thinking about it.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
He's like, damn.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
That it Like I shake again every time I think
about it, Like, WHOA, now y'all was seventeen what I
was doing?
Speaker 3 (38:55):
Ye now, what y'all was doing.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
But I'm so thankful for like my parents because they
may not have cared it, gave me all these different things.
We were so love They loved.
Speaker 3 (39:03):
Me so damn much.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
That's why that's why it feels this way. That's why
it's nothing fake, it's nothing phony about, nothing that I
could be because I came from two loving kids basically,
And that's why I'm so thankful for my mom and
dad because, like I said, they was they were kids.
But it's like it's no agenda, there's no no motives
behind nothing that we ever done. We don't even know
(39:26):
what that even means. Like that's why everything comes from
the soul. I don't have to fake it a high
to be nothing that I ain't.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
I don't. It's based on the true story every day.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
Yeah, yeah, thankful. I'm thankful for mom and daddy. Though
I love y'all, love it, I still get on both
of them. Asked about what y'all was doing.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
You gotta ask the question that.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
I do ask them. I do ask them.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
I mean, but I think it speaks to that soul.
And I told I told the team, I was like,
this story made it in my book, you know, and
this goes back to that soul, And it goes back
to your gift and that purpose and that anointing really
that you have on your life to really teach people
a better way to live, right, show people a better
(40:11):
way to live? And you had it was one day
in the class and I'm in the bootcamp class. Music
is going and you like lift your arms. They just
your arms. Lift your legs, they just your legs. And
I was literally in that room like that is the
(40:33):
reallest shit you ever wrote. That is that's the key.
It's like, they just my arms. If I can just
lift my arms, I'm ana be alright.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
What kind of made me say that one day was
people didn't even notice.
Speaker 3 (40:49):
Was it was a lady.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
Working out behind me who's paralyzed from the waist. Now
she's sitting in the chair to sitting in her chair
lifting her arms. And I always tell people, I guarantee
you when you're talking about your legs hurt, that's so sore,
I'm so tired.
Speaker 3 (41:09):
I guarantee you in.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Trade with her. Yeah I know you wouldn't. Yeah, I
know you wouldn't trade with her. So I gotta tell people,
you're like, you just got a lot you didn't do
is look around the room for the young old, to
never been to the class before, to been there a
million classes, you can always find you some perspective, some motivation.
Speaker 3 (41:29):
To keep going or to do things a little bit better.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
Because again, right now, for some of these people, it's
not about showing up no more.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
It's about growing now.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
It's about it's about perfecting these classes, it's about perfecting
these moves. It's about I'm just I'm just showing up. No,
let's be great now, Yeah, let's let's let's take this
to it. Let's be abundant. Yeah, that word, that's my word.
Abundant is my word. It's my word because for so
(41:58):
long I struggle with success, not even fair. I'm so
great at fair. That's that's all we ever know. That's
all I've been surrounded by is not being that good
enough of things. But now it's trying to learn how
to be better at abundance, like expecting it. Yeah, nobody
expects abundance. Most people aren't great because they don't even
(42:18):
think they're worthy of greatness. Like, most people aren't even
great because they're like, am I really just good? Or
you already lost? You already lost because you're second guessing
the gift, your second you're starting the second gift, the thing,
second guess the thing that's like, if you don't believe,
then why you expect the people that's looking at you,
(42:40):
the people that's you're getting to buy your product, the
people that's you're preaching this message to to believe the
thing that I always tell people about me personally, if
I can toot my own horn about something I believe.
I think that this is supposed.
Speaker 3 (42:55):
To be great. I believe in the most high.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
I'm thankful to God, like, thank you God, because I
believe that this is gonna be like this, This is
gonna be good.
Speaker 3 (43:06):
It's gonna be so damn good.
Speaker 2 (43:08):
But I was surrounded by so many things, like people
like they didn't even expect. It was like my bundans
start to make other people on coming out. Now I
start the film, We ain't finna do that shit. You're
not gonna have me second second guessing my gifts of
my bunnies because you don't even believe.
Speaker 1 (43:26):
But where was it on this journey? Duly, you know,
over this last ten years, there has to been a
moment where you were like, oh yeah, ain no turning back.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
When I quit my job, so you had to think
working at Tyler Pari of Studios out security. You know,
you thought you'd go to college, you get the criminal
justice degree, I'm gonna move up the ladder. There's no ladder,
there's no latter. You're just working. But working at Tyler
Paris Studios, one of the greatest things that ever happened
to me because I watched a black man who most
(43:58):
people say got it all. I saw him work on Christmas,
I saw him shut up on Thanksgiving. I saw him
never be closed unless oh it was never closed.
Speaker 3 (44:13):
The studio was never closed.
Speaker 2 (44:15):
So when I first moved to Atlanta, that was the
first that was my that was my first job, that
was my only job. I've only had one job, but
that was the greatest thing that ever happened to me
to go work for that man and see that building
and see what he built, because it was like this
man got everything and he still go to work. He
(44:35):
was working more than the executives. He was at work
more than the writers in the bud.
Speaker 1 (44:39):
No.
Speaker 2 (44:39):
He was there every single day. And I kept thinking about,
like what I'm finna take off to do? What though,
like I'm taking off day off to do what I
am about.
Speaker 1 (44:50):
He used to say this all the time when people
be in the gym, like I need a vacation, dude,
to go where.
Speaker 2 (44:55):
You're gonna You know, when you come back, there's still
you still here. You like your habits are still the same. Yeah,
changed anything how you did was got on the plane,
your bank account, it's probably going down. You're spending money. Yeah, yeah,
So more and more I thought about that. I was like,
but that place was so good for me because I
was like, if I can be And that's seven years
(45:19):
that I worked at that studio. Yo, in day's work,
I miss you didn't miss any of this. I never
missed the dead worker. Here's I didn't even know how
to take off.
Speaker 1 (45:26):
Here's the thing. Tyler Perry came to effect fitness. He supported,
he supports effect fitness all the things. And he noticed
that you never took off of that.
Speaker 2 (45:35):
He said that, yeah, yeah, he know that. But that's
the beauty of being a good teammate. I always pride,
like the trainers that I currently got working in the building,
like the greatest thing that you can ever do is
help somebody else be great if you ever want, because
one day you're gonna have your own and you're gonna
pray for consistent workers.
Speaker 1 (45:53):
You're gonna pray.
Speaker 2 (45:53):
For for good help as what they call it called
the fact that he Now you're gonna pray for that.
Speaker 3 (45:58):
Yeah, And that was the thing that I could.
Speaker 2 (45:59):
But and when I started my own bit, I kept
telling myself, if I can if I can be that
consistent for somebody else, I know, damn well, I'm from
doing for me.
Speaker 1 (46:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (46:07):
No, I know, damn well, I'm fin to do it
for me.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
Yeah. Like I said, that was the best thing that
ever happened to me. But to fast forward to that story,
we was talking about the moment where I knew it
was no turning back. It's June twentieth, twenty sixteen, my birthday,
your birthday, my birthday. I'm getting ready to go to work,
and I'm like, but at this time, be I'm already
the gym is the gym.
Speaker 3 (46:29):
If the finish is rolling, I.
Speaker 2 (46:31):
Ain't making three times the amount of money training, I'm
already Okay, we're doing great. But I still had this
lack or this fear component where I wasn't thinking a
bundle where I knew once I quit this job that
I was gonna blow this shit out of the water.
It was the doubt.
Speaker 3 (46:46):
It was the different things.
Speaker 2 (46:47):
I'm like, because why was I still going to work
every single I'm working forty hours a week at this job.
Speaker 3 (46:52):
I used to at the job, I used to work
from eight to four Monday through.
Speaker 1 (46:55):
Friday and would come and do the class from four
thirty five thirty every class, every single class. I just
stopped teaching every class, just stop within a COVID.
Speaker 2 (47:06):
People don't even know that. Most people don't know. I
used to teach five thirty six thirty am, am am,
go to word from eight to four, come back four
thirty five thirty six thirty seventeen every.
Speaker 1 (47:17):
Day, every class, every class. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (47:20):
But that day when I said, this doesn't even make
sense no more. This this, this doesn't make sense anymore.
But then I was like, let's go, bro, I'm gonna add.
I told myself, I'm gonna add a twelve o'clock class,
and I'm going to train all day long. And I
never went back to work. June twenty or twenty sixteen,
(47:41):
and we.
Speaker 1 (47:42):
Had a birthday. You had a birthday party at the gym. Yeah,
you had a birthday party at the.
Speaker 2 (47:45):
Gym because I was gonna be at work. I'm not
taking off, We're not taking off.
Speaker 1 (47:48):
Gonna be at work. And that not not one day
have you missed. I mean you have had to be
like y'all.
Speaker 2 (47:55):
Carried out, had to carry me off one day, he.
Speaker 1 (47:58):
Carried out of there. You have no voice, none, you
have no energy, you.
Speaker 2 (48:03):
I have no mic. I didn't get a mic until
we moved to the new building.
Speaker 1 (48:07):
Yeah, he was screaming these classes and you knew exactly
what you were supposed to do.
Speaker 3 (48:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (48:13):
Yeah, But it's the process. It's the process that I
don't think people realize that so much about me group
doing that more. I found out so much about who
I am when I thought I didn't have it. It's
so easy to go to work when you smell good,
look good, You got money in your pocket, you got
new clothes on, new shoes on. But the days I
felt sick, the days the voice was scratching and gone,
(48:33):
the days you like fuck is calling that building? I
found out more about Kendrick Glucis than I ever have
on the days when it was Sonny and everything was good. Yeah, Like,
I know I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing,
Like I have no doubt in my mind.
Speaker 1 (48:47):
Yeah I know it. I mean, all the adversity, And
here's what I want every business owner, every entrepreneur, budding
entrepreneur who's listening to this story, like you are going
to experience a lot of opposition, expected, Like it's coming
expected because every move that you made there was a door,
(49:09):
there was a hurdle closed, there was something that came
your way.
Speaker 2 (49:13):
Yeah, even just being in from the parking in Metro
one to okay, getting evicted out of the place because
you can't run.
Speaker 3 (49:20):
To be in an apartment complex.
Speaker 2 (49:21):
Okay. Then you going to Baltimore place where okay, they're
getting ready to sell a building. But then you gotta
pay people for parking. And then you go to Metro one.
You got five hundreds. I got six hundred people coming
to me at this point. Well, it got two toilets,
we got we got no heat, no air, you got
no parking. It's not a line, it's not a parking,
it's a gravel parking lot. Okay. Then you go up
(49:42):
the street to Metro uh, to the news space, and
you're like, okay, we're gonna be all right. No, you
ain't Metropolitan. Now you're getting the cars broken to every
other day. Yeah. I always tell people, man like none
about it gets easier. You just get better. You got
to keep getting better and you got to keep learning
how better ways to deal with Like I said, as
an entrepreneur, you are you can never separate it too.
(50:05):
I laugh at people all the time talking about I
want to separate this my business from my entrepreneur. Know, entrepreneur, No,
that's not that's not a thing you know, it's yours.
It's you. So when you're making these products and you
selling these products, it's you. So quit trying to separate it.
Just keep getting better, Like you only want to separate
because you're afraid of something scared of And I'm learning,
(50:28):
like I need to keep getting better if I want
this to grow, I need to keep expanding my mind,
if I want to expand my territory like so many
people something like I know a lot of scared people.
I'm like, hey, bro, it's not happening, that's not that's
not going.
Speaker 3 (50:43):
To be it.
Speaker 1 (50:45):
Okay, So then how are you expanding your mind? What
is it? Are you reading something.
Speaker 2 (50:49):
Which I'm always reading, but most importantly I am learning. Uh,
I'm having these uncomfortable conversationations, but they start with me.
Speaker 3 (51:03):
Because I cannot lie to me.
Speaker 2 (51:07):
Like it never I'm never making about other people, like
when I'm faced with different challenges, I'm always learning, like dude,
what's what you're doing?
Speaker 3 (51:14):
Bro?
Speaker 2 (51:15):
I'm literally talking to me first before I go try
to get somebody else and put somebody else in their place.
Speaker 3 (51:19):
I checked me.
Speaker 2 (51:21):
It's no place putting into our place. Put myself in
the right place, because you can't have a good conversation
if you're not.
Speaker 3 (51:26):
In the right space.
Speaker 2 (51:26):
Yeah. Emotional, Yeah, like we don't do that.
Speaker 3 (51:29):
We're not doing that.
Speaker 2 (51:31):
So when it comes to like books and reading, I
love your book.
Speaker 1 (51:37):
We've shared a lot of books. I remember I gave
you one of my favorite books. I don't know if
it's Christmas one year or your birthday. Relentless Bye Bye
by Tim.
Speaker 2 (51:46):
Yeah Grover, Like I like you want to tell people,
Tim Grover, is it Michael Jordan's.
Speaker 1 (51:52):
Training Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant to read as Dwayne Wade.
I mean, some of the best, but it.
Speaker 2 (51:58):
Starts up here. Yeah, training starts in the mind. First.
Speaker 3 (52:01):
Training is not physical. Yeah, most of the training is
you got to think. But most of those people sought
him out after they failed.
Speaker 1 (52:08):
Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (52:09):
Why we gotta wait till we fail to start seeking greatness?
Speaker 2 (52:14):
Like so much of our lives is based off of
we have to go fail first before we start to No, no, no,
let's stop waiting. Yeah, stop waiting until we at our
lowest point. With all these battle scars. Now now you're
dealing with these traumas that most of us can't get
rid of. Some of these traumas we got because no,
go go be great now.
Speaker 3 (52:31):
Yeah, like teach teach greatness before trauma.
Speaker 2 (52:35):
M we can't wait to teach greatness after trauma because
now you got to get over the traumas.
Speaker 1 (52:41):
That's our true Yeah, yeah, I mean, I mean and
teaching greatness though. I think so many people they they
have that internal voice that's not telling them, that's not
self regulating. It is expanding the story.
Speaker 2 (52:57):
Because we got researching for validation from social media parents.
I love my mom and dad, but I'm not searching
for their advice when it comes out to live my
life today. Yeah, we ain't calling mom and dad telling
mom and dad this is what we're doing. No, I'm
telling mom and dad this is what I'm about to do.
Hope you're on board. But we're not seeking like yes
(53:18):
or no from them. We're not seeking yes and no
for if I put it on social media and take
a poll, then that's what I'm about to do. Now
we do that, that's real light.
Speaker 1 (53:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (53:26):
So the validation is never coming from outside. It's always
about what's going on on the inside.
Speaker 1 (53:30):
Yeah, I mean you're dealing with people every single day
who are coming across that threshold, three thousand people a
week that are coming across in search of something.
Speaker 3 (53:40):
Something most important.
Speaker 2 (53:42):
What I'm learning that what people are pulling from me,
and I had to accept it was my energy. Yes.
And I didn't know that at first because I used
to find myself like why am I so tired? Like
why am I so tired? But that's when I started
taking had to learn to take better care of myself,
whether it's massages, whether sauna, whether it's reading, whether it's
(54:02):
just shutting it down and like, don't coming right now.
I didn't even I thought that was a bad thing.
I thought taking care of me was a bad thing.
But then I had to realize I wasn't able to
get these people that energy if I don't take care
of me. I didn't some day I was like, Wolly,
I don't got it today. And I'm honest with myself.
(54:22):
That wasn't a good, dude, that wasn't that good. So
I'm honest with myself and what we're doing. Whether I
told some people in class on Monday, I was like
that wasn't that good. But I don't ever blame the
members or the people.
Speaker 3 (54:38):
That's all me.
Speaker 2 (54:39):
My job and role is to get these people to
do things and move their body in ways that they wouldn't,
So why would I ever blame them. So, whether it's
through music, whether it's through cadences, whether it's through the
workout itself, whether it's through me pressing those buttons from
building these relationsis where I know some of them.
Speaker 3 (54:56):
I'm like, hey, you know why I used still big.
Speaker 2 (55:00):
I say that because we're not making this up telling
you what we're studyed. We sit down, we have consultations. Well,
you know why you ain't able to move us fast?
You know why you need to put that down. Stop
eating that. It's never judging. It's also let's be honest.
Let's have a real conversation and a real evaluation of
(55:21):
why we are where we are and be there. Quit
telling people you don't supposed to be you're't supposed to
be here. Stop saying that. I hate to hear that.
If I hear one more person tell me, man, I'm
supposed to be in the league. I don't know why
I'm here. No, you're exactly where you supposed.
Speaker 1 (55:36):
To be at baby, every single time I was like,
I started at my side of my head from people
like what you said to you is hitting the target.
You're hitting the target you're shooting at.
Speaker 2 (55:45):
Like you, it's you you. So you are a product
of your decisions. You are here because you're supposed to
be here. You need to own that and grow from here.
Because you're thinking you're not supposed to be here, and
you're gonna keep me here here.
Speaker 1 (56:01):
Oh that is so good.
Speaker 3 (56:02):
You're going to keep being here.
Speaker 2 (56:03):
You'll be here next week too, next week too, in
the same spot though.
Speaker 1 (56:09):
Because because you see it right in a position like yours.
I mean, your members are consistent, They are consistent, and
they have been with you. When they come, they stay.
Your retention rate is high. Your retention rate is high.
Different people who are members at effect inns stay there.
Speaker 2 (56:28):
Their life members. Yeah, we're about to create a life
membership packet, Life membership packet where you're a member Life.
Speaker 1 (56:37):
Yeah, because you're seeing these people because so much of this,
as this family unit that you've created in this culture,
in this place is people really have been empowered and
embolden to take on roles in leadership in that place.
Speaker 2 (56:54):
Yeah, I'm start with my family like I'm like, I
employ my brother like this morning to see my little
brother finally embracing his I won't call it this role
because it's.
Speaker 3 (57:06):
Not a role, but much more so like, hey, bro,
do this like this now so you can do what
you want to do later.
Speaker 1 (57:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (57:13):
I understand this may not be your love passion. That's fine,
but let's do this like this right now so you
can do what you want to do later. And I'm
finally seeing that thing just like he got it. Yeah,
it's clicking.
Speaker 3 (57:28):
Like I watched one of his classes other day, so
my little brother teaching class. I'm like, damn, that's good.
That transition was good.
Speaker 2 (57:35):
Then I'm looking at the people like they responding to him.
He ain't just screaming and talking to the microphone. It's
in a class now, yeah, because it's one thing to
go in there and screaming yet for forty minutes and
nobody felt you. Yeah, it's one thing to go in
there and teaching like, oh yeah, they got it now.
Speaker 1 (57:48):
I mean because I feel like, you know, I call
you this, You've I've called you this. I saw Kim
Newton in an interview. He called you the Billy Blanks.
You are like the Billy Blanks of this generation because
most people that you have this very like drill sergeanty
type of way. You know, it's aggressive. Okay, I cussing
(58:11):
is a problem for you.
Speaker 2 (58:12):
You not gonna language for me.
Speaker 1 (58:14):
It is such a love language.
Speaker 2 (58:16):
I was blessed with.
Speaker 3 (58:19):
Again.
Speaker 2 (58:19):
I asked my mom and dad like what what? But
you gotta think I was like, when did I start customing?
It's like four or five.
Speaker 1 (58:25):
Yeah, as a kid, you got it.
Speaker 3 (58:28):
My mama said she one day she was listening to
me cuse with my friends. I was grown up.
Speaker 2 (58:32):
It was like some six year olds. But she had
to be honest with herself. Okay, well we're listening to
listen too.
Speaker 1 (58:42):
Short exactly this kind of music. This is why when
BJ say what, he say, hey own it, and I
tell people, you know what his creative BJ was the
original Jim baby. He was a first baby that was
up and he was a first e kid. I look
here that but you know in what you've created, I mean,
(59:04):
it's not just yelling on a microphones and you've been
copied a gazillion times. There are gazillion workouts out here
that do that are with bricks that you get from
the everywhere. Yeah, bricks classes all around, but you are
the originator.
Speaker 2 (59:22):
Yeah, and again I take I don't take that as
offensive being copied.
Speaker 3 (59:27):
What it is just annoying.
Speaker 2 (59:28):
Now it's just like because you don't understand the creative Uh,
I created bridge because I didn't have equipment. Yeah, bricks
came from a place of like need, No, I need
to do this workout, and so many people like look
at this as a money grad I want to start
doing this because oh they do that, I'm gonna do that. Las.
I'm like, well, have fun with it. But man, bricks
(59:51):
for me is personal bricks. For me, it was like,
at least I can get these people another workout other
than use some dumbbells all the time. So bricks from
he was a thing where I said, let me go
on this, let me create something. I didn't have a money.
Look at that thing be this business is started. I
don't got loans, I've never been I had an idea
to go to the bank. But guess what I was
afraid of going to the bank. I knew the answer already.
(01:00:13):
I knew the answer at the bank. I ain't gonna
come down and waste your time.
Speaker 3 (01:00:17):
Bank.
Speaker 2 (01:00:19):
I wasn't even gonna go down there and do that
to them people. Why was scheduling this meeting? I know
what you're gonna tell me, so affect finished. We don't
got we don't got, we don't we don't got the
loans as wells foggo.
Speaker 3 (01:00:28):
We don't got chased.
Speaker 2 (01:00:29):
We don't.
Speaker 3 (01:00:29):
We didn't do that. We did the old fast wall.
Speaker 2 (01:00:32):
We said, you know what, we want to work our
ass off, and I'll say about money, let's work our
ass off some more, and let's put back into the business.
Let's work our ass offs again, and then let's high
quality people. Yeah, but it wasn't never about Okay, let
me go take out this loan and then start doing this.
Speaker 3 (01:00:48):
Personally.
Speaker 2 (01:00:49):
I'll tell people all the time, man it just work
your ass if first learn how to work first, before
you learn how to manage money, because they're gonna give
you that money, hoping you fail, hoping you don't pay
it back, hope you default on that, because then they're
gonna come take all your equipment, They're gonna take your
building from me. And then now not only do you
not got what you wanted, now you got this debt
over your head for the rest of your life. So
I'm like, don't worry about the bank. I ain't coming
(01:01:11):
down there. I ain't even waste your time.
Speaker 3 (01:01:13):
We're good.
Speaker 1 (01:01:14):
I'm gonna work.
Speaker 2 (01:01:15):
I'm gonna go to work for because I know that answer,
like the work answer. I already know that I know
how to go to work. Most people don't know how
to manage money, even when they got a lot of money.
Gonna you're gonna mess that up. I know most people.
You gotta mess that up. You're gonna default and then
what But if you default on your work at it,
then that's something totally different. Yeah, I know I wouldn't
(01:01:37):
default on that, but.
Speaker 1 (01:01:38):
You said it though. You said this spiritual part right.
There are some people who are out here doing it
for a money grab. But there's always this spiritual connection
that you feel when you enter into effect fitness.
Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
But that comes from watching people who you watch show
up to you winning Haler's with the medication and they
leave and you're like, damn, then you lost one hundred pounds.
Yeah you strong, Like that's the greatest reward for me.
Ain't most people monthly membership it's looking at their bodies
and saying, I'm so fucking proud of you to have
(01:02:10):
that conversation with some of these people when you know, yeah,
they lost one hundred pounds.
Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
Look how strong they are.
Speaker 2 (01:02:15):
Look at the confidence now even starting to think and
be abundant.
Speaker 3 (01:02:19):
Like most people, like some people will pay their money's.
Speaker 2 (01:02:23):
Members, I want to stop because they're not, because they're
not get what they supposed to get.
Speaker 3 (01:02:27):
From the place.
Speaker 2 (01:02:29):
Some people are like my favorite thing to tell people
that I know, I give your money back, right, I
give your money back because I want you to come
here and get the right shit from here. I don't
want you to just short up here thinking almore I
work out and the fake friends, all the pound's gonna
come off. No, you got to put the work in too.
We got a place for you, we got a space
for you to grow. But they're gonna require you to
steal work like so many people show up thinking like
(01:02:52):
I tell this lady, I say, hey, hey, you want
this back, I'll give it to you, because again, we
want you to come in with the right mindset.
Speaker 3 (01:03:01):
Right, you know what you're getting yourself into.
Speaker 1 (01:03:04):
You have a sign on the door before even walking
the door. You are responsible for the energy you bring
in this room.
Speaker 3 (01:03:11):
That's the geminit me.
Speaker 2 (01:03:13):
I feel it.
Speaker 3 (01:03:14):
Yeah, but that's my greatest gift.
Speaker 2 (01:03:16):
I'm able to connect with people like that too, though,
So I always tell people, are you're a response, not
only for the energy you bring to this how you
act and carry yourself Like you just said, b you've
been to that gym a million times and it's been
a line outside.
Speaker 3 (01:03:28):
Of the door, and you've waited in it.
Speaker 2 (01:03:30):
Yeah, you know you don't have to wait in lines,
and no matter what happens is you still do things
a certain way. And I always tell people you're not
above nobody's above what we're doing here.
Speaker 1 (01:03:42):
Because you know what, Duley, and this is the thing.
You know, there are so many people who are friends
with people who start businesses, create products, all these things
and want.
Speaker 3 (01:03:49):
It for free.
Speaker 1 (01:03:49):
And they want it for free or they want to
do it with the loophole. They want to do it
today to watch someone build something and not adhere to
what they built, to go in and blatantly disrespect your
friend with the relationship, right, it is because of the
respect that I have for our friendship that says I've
(01:04:10):
watched this man grow this thing I'm not about to
that man created this line because we knew what it's
like if he have no line.
Speaker 2 (01:04:16):
Yeah, your spot.
Speaker 1 (01:04:18):
I know I'm gonna respect this parking situation because I
know what it's like when you don't respect the parking situation,
like all the things about it. And I think that
that's the attitude that we have to have when we
say we support each other, we love each other, we
care for each other, we want each other to win.
Speaker 3 (01:04:33):
That's different.
Speaker 1 (01:04:34):
Well, if you want somebody to win, you show up
helping them win.
Speaker 2 (01:04:37):
But that's but that's the sign is so it's all
of that. It's just being respectful of the space we're creating.
It's like, hey, come be a part of this team.
If we do things this way, we're all gonna win.
You come in here making this day about you. You
might well leave out now because we don't do that here. Yeah,
we don't do that here.
Speaker 1 (01:04:55):
You know, Jada and I were talking off this was
in pre product and she was like, you know, that's
really interesting because gym culture now is everybody walks in
got their headphones on, nobody's talking. The only time we're
looking up is like, is somebody dying? Like are using
it in the pass out or they are oh you here, yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:05:19):
But that's why I always tell people come, that's why
your first class is free. Your first class is free
to fact feelings. Because I know if you walk in
that building and you're doing of these classes, we got you.
I believe in that. Like I'll never change that policy.
I'll never say, well, we're gonna start charging for this. No,
we don't come come see come, see you're coming back.
(01:05:41):
You're gonna come back because it's good.
Speaker 1 (01:05:43):
Yeah, Like we don't.
Speaker 2 (01:05:44):
We don't even sell you. We tell you the first
class is free, and I got you after that because
we know once you come experience the culture, the way
we conduct ourselves, the workout itself is gonna be good.
But then the way we're gonna treat you, it's gonna
be different. It's not gonna be like any other gym. No,
we don't.
Speaker 3 (01:06:01):
We don't play when we say we're the best gymal war. No,
we really believed that.
Speaker 2 (01:06:04):
Like the belief I have and the most I is
the belief I haven't when we say we're the best
geminal world. I believe that though, be I believe that.
Speaker 1 (01:06:11):
You have to tell the story because Julie was saying,
we're the best gym in the world every day. And
then there was a magazine that put out a list
of the best gyms.
Speaker 2 (01:06:20):
And I forgot about that.
Speaker 3 (01:06:21):
I made I made hoodies about that.
Speaker 1 (01:06:24):
Said, they made a list of the best ranked it.
They ranked them from gyms across the country. And on
this list, this was maybe about six years ago, maybe
a six years eighteen. Oh yeah, so seven years ago,
and Effect Fitness was number three on the list, number three,
(01:06:45):
number three on the list.
Speaker 3 (01:06:48):
Again.
Speaker 2 (01:06:48):
I needed that.
Speaker 3 (01:06:49):
I needed that, thank.
Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
You, because it's lits inside of me that's still bursting today.
I've were the hoodie still, yeah, because I'm not one
of these kind of people that we gonna like. I'm
not even any search of comfort. That's not what we're
looking for. We're not looking for to become. We're looking
to continue to grow. But we know where we know
(01:07:10):
they know.
Speaker 1 (01:07:11):
I mean, the list comes out, y'all, and they.
Speaker 3 (01:07:14):
Said, I forgot the other tools in front of it.
Speaker 1 (01:07:16):
I don't remember the other two. I don't I do
not remember the other two, but I remember Fitness was three,
and I remember when it came out. You were on
that microphone that weren't number three, We're the number one
gym in the world. So much so that there was
a a a big old billboard like poster thing that
got created that we're in the gym that had number
(01:07:36):
one gym in the world, and that became the model
that everyone.
Speaker 3 (01:07:41):
I mean, it started after that.
Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
So thank essence for that.
Speaker 3 (01:07:46):
I needed it. Thank you, we needed it.
Speaker 2 (01:07:49):
I wasn't even mad at the magazine because they don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:07:53):
I don't know. See, no, they didn't know. But I
personally needed.
Speaker 2 (01:07:58):
Because I used it, but I never use it as
like it's been a bad thing. No, thank you. We
needed that because now I can teach. Now I can
teach it even more fire, even more passion. Now I
can show it to my front desk workings that hey,
y'all know, they say, y'all ain't even the best. Come on, hey, security,
you know y'all need to do a better job. Y'all know,
y'all number three. And I like that because now I
(01:08:19):
was able to teach, train, motivate not only myself but
everybody around me, like let's let's keep working.
Speaker 1 (01:08:25):
I mean, and it just became now.
Speaker 3 (01:08:27):
We're chasing ghosts.
Speaker 2 (01:08:28):
Yeah, we're literally chasing ghosts and I love it, keep
chasing them.
Speaker 1 (01:08:32):
Yeah, So what do you have next? Like what are you? Like,
what's the big thing that has your attention?
Speaker 2 (01:08:39):
Right? Every year, it's kind of like a calendar of things.
So right now we're getting ready to come up on
this race, and that race is so dear to me,
the Metropolitan if it's so dear to me, because it's like.
Speaker 1 (01:08:52):
On June teenth, on Juneteenth in Atlanta's our own day.
Speaker 2 (01:08:55):
It's ours. It's the fake Fitness Kendrick Dooley loose Is Day.
And that means so much to me because I'm in
the blackest city in America.
Speaker 3 (01:09:07):
Where I moved here because it was so black.
Speaker 2 (01:09:09):
Yeah, I moved to Atlanta because I remember coming in
the summer and seeing Ralph McGill and Andrew Young and
all those black men and black people names. You could
where I'm from Louisa, and you get one black street
that's Martin lutherkekn This's is one.
Speaker 1 (01:09:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:09:27):
But then I looked at the schools and I looked
at the neighborhoods. I'm like, I remember, I remember this vividly.
I remember driving the Cascade and cam Cres Like you
mean to I mean, all these people are black that
live in this neighborhood and it was not the.
Speaker 1 (01:09:43):
Projects, beautiful homes. Yeah, I never.
Speaker 2 (01:09:49):
I didn't see that. You know, you don't see that.
So not only that, but then you start thinking about
you start doing great things. I wanted to be a
part of a great community. I want to be a
part of a great this is it.
Speaker 3 (01:10:00):
It's Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (01:10:00):
Yeah that was me being here is like what this
is why you're supposed to be. If you're black and
doing something, you're gonna be supported. Then you ain't gonna
walk into that. We're like, damn we hate we all
do it here. Yeah, no, we all are doing it here.
Speaker 1 (01:10:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:10:16):
That's why you don't even meet celebrities in Atlanta the
mod we all are. Yeah, celebrities in Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (01:10:21):
I mean. And that's the thing. I think that was
the thing that that maybe you want to move here just.
Speaker 3 (01:10:26):
I respect Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (01:10:27):
I have a huge the healthy fear slash respect in
this place. I don't want to continue to work my
ass off to continue to be a good member of
this community. Absolutely, I'm going to work when I leave here.
Speaker 1 (01:10:38):
Yeah, absolutely, you absolutely are. And I think that that's
the beauty because even when you look around effect fitness,
it is it's black excellence in Atlanta. It's pastors, it's commissioners,
it's mayors, it's stars, it's it's everybody, business owners.
Speaker 3 (01:10:55):
And that for that hour, we're all the same.
Speaker 1 (01:10:58):
Everybody is the same.
Speaker 2 (01:10:59):
Everybody's to the right, everybody shoulder press, everybody just jump squats. Yeah,
we all are the same, and that's the beauty.
Speaker 3 (01:11:06):
Of that place.
Speaker 1 (01:11:07):
Yeah, we all are the same.
Speaker 3 (01:11:08):
We're all the same. Were just part of this community.
Speaker 1 (01:11:12):
