12 Year UTS Anniversary and Fundraiser for Family Justice Center

Description

12 years. Over 25,000 personal training sessions run through this place and with this team. I originally launched UTS in 2011 for two main reasons: I wanted to make the client, nerdy training programs, and long term change a focus in fitness. I was tired of feeling stuck in a commercial gym setting, with limited growth professionally and financially, and I wanted to build a business that stuck to my values and principles, serving all of the above. Over the last 12 years, I have always tried to “fail forward,” constantly learning better strategies for coaching, writing programs, building a business, and developing a team. We have gone through multiple iterations of systems and setups, but have always stuck to our tried and true principles for both training and how we feel it is best to interact with other humans. By doing so, we have had the opportunity to work with people from all backgrounds, skill levels, and age ranges while serving one overall goal: to help people learn to live their best life physically and mentally without hurting or hating the process. This business has been built on thousands of hours of research, endless studying and tinkering, incessant conversation and planning, and at times, literal tears of both burnout and passion for playing the long game in the setup that we feel is best for both our team and our clients. And, on March 1, 2023, we officially hit the twelve year mark of business, a day we would love to celebrate WITH YOU. This celebration will be a full Saturday of fun, starting with our classic movement workshops and charity workout, raffles, drinks, and snacks to finish off the morning. But, we don’t want to stop there. We would love to continue this into a full “park day” and dinner for those interested in which we make our way around Knoxville for more activity, connection, and of course, food and drink. We would love to host current clients, former clients, friends and family for this occasion and hope to see you there. Order of Events (final details to be determined) 8:30am: Doors Open!
