Today we’d like to introduce you to Corey Mackey.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Corey. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
Years ago I got my heart broke and I found a positive way to challenge the gym became something more to me if you came escape from the rest of the world they gave me a new identity they gave me a great return of investment one day I looked up years had passed and everybody that I knew didn’t recognize me anymore later after being fired from several jobs I realize that I was the common denominator.
I didn’t pray to God and ask him do I suck because I’m always getting fired from every job that I have God whispered to me maybe you’re not meant to work for anybody I said that sounds too good to be true then he said you’ll never know unless you try so I committed myself to something they gave me a new identity I committed myself to health and fitness which had become a passion in all the driving life force and purpose for me and I was able to Manifest that and conveyed it to others so that they may be or grow to be strong and healthy as well after a few years of never give it up I know I have my own gym and I’m ready to expand my gym my story continues.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Before I inherited my gym I started off training in my apartment complex the property manager was fine she even allowed me to become a vendor on contract with the company and added amenity for the residence something that they could sell to bring more people in it wasn’t long before new property manager came onto the property stop me in the middle of one of my sessions and told me I was no longer able to train I was terrified but I was still brave within 24 hours I have found a local gym within walking distance and communicated the transition of my clients to a larger gym only to encounter a new set of problems coexisting with other trainers.
Please tell us about CoroRaw Fitness.
Honestly what I’m most proud of has very little to do with training being healthy is not just the physical aspect it’s an emotional and mental as well what I’m most proud of is the same thing that separates my gym from everybody else I don’t look at my clients as profit I always tell them welcome to the family we all laugh we all joke we all play around every now and then will have a vents what we all participate and socialize it doesn’t feel like a commercial gym I don’t let my clients feel like they’re getting a My clients understand that I care about them and I want them well I want the best for them they know that I pray for them and their well-being and their families my gym does not operate like a normal gym or one big family that’s something that you can’t sell or market.
Do you look back particularly fondly on any memories from childhood?
I’ve often thought of this question myself for many years I thought I had a bad childhood and when you grow up and mature you realize other people are rough childhood to and then you become to understand you didn’t have any worse than anybody else I can’t exactly pinpoint the happiest memory from my childhood but I can assure you want to involve family it involved a bunch of happy faces I’m sure that was good food involved In the atmosphere was overwhelming with love.
