Get Big GYM

Kyle R. Harris & Matt Oot

Why Another Gym

With todays sports becoming more and more
competitive athletes are in need of gyms that allow
them to focus on their specific training needs.
If this is done athletes can have specific training
programs, resources, and coaches to help them
achieve maximum performance. This cannot be
done with a public gym because then the focus is
to benefit a wide audience and the athletes needs
will clash with that of the publics.

Our Mission

Get Big Gyms focus is on the athlete and their
teams. Our goal is to serve athletes who dream of

while encouraging a competitive but fun
environment.
