Realizing the need for a gym with a “different” kind of vibe, Fit Club Co-Founders Kris Helmick, Ryan Diaz, and Gavin McHale set out to build from the ground up a Las Vegas fitness complex which fully embodied everything that they’ve always wanted to experience within a gym themselves. “There are plenty of Las Vegas gyms which have great equipment and staff,” said Co-Founder Ryan Diaz, “but we saw the need for one that made everyone excited to be a member of and one that personal training clients would look forward to going to.”In addition to filling Fit Club with state-of-the-art equipment and a sound system that makes most people shed their headphones, Fit Club is known for hosting some pretty epic private events for their members and has a habit of constantly surprising everyone with the kind of thing that might feel more at home within a high-end Las Vegas nightclub. Afterall, when is the last time you saw a gym with a fully functioning DJ booth or a Lamborghini Huracan parked inside?The Fit Club team has also attracted some of the best trainers in the industry alongside some pretty familiar faces. General Manager, Gavin Mchale, chalks it up to their extensive personal relationships. “It’s not exactly a coincidence that Fit Club is home to so many elite members of the fitness community, they’re all our friends.”Asked why he thought Fit Club seems to be home to so many noticeably attractive members, Co-Founder Kris Helmick joked “it’s probably because Jack Colton works out here.”Whatever the reason, the atmosphere inside Fit Club is characteristically electric and it’s no surprise that this Las Vegas gym has already become a tourist destination for those who’ve seen it all over Youtube and Instagram.

NASM CPT, CES, PES. But overall not the quick fix doctor. After spending time in the workforce and having an “big boy job” I gave into what I should have been doing all along which was health and fitness. I grew up being an athlete(basketball, football, baseball, track) and it seemed second nature that I belong being active and helping others with the same. After trying almost everyone else’s way of exercise and health I’ve found my groove working as an independent trainer.
The fundamental principles I’ve learned from being raised by West Indian parents in the Midwest at simple and they are the same ones I hold my clients to:
Do your best - you can’t give me more than You have to give
Accountability - be responsible for actions, understand what you’re putting in before questioning what you’re getting back.
Be malleable - if you’re training with me, trust Im not going to steer you wrong.
Have fun(this one is mine) - training can begin to feel mundane, but often it’s in the eyes of the beholder. Bring a positive vibe with you and I’ll share mine also.
