Meet Jerald Redmon of Redzone Training Center in Northwest Houston

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jerald Redmon.

Jerald, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I first got into fitness because I wanted to change my life and get into shape. I was always skinny and I finally wanted to do something about it! A good friend of mine helped me get started and it was on from there! Before I knew I was working in the oilfield during the day and training at night. I met my good friends to this day and partnered with them and came into Apex Houston Gym and we came on the scene though. It really has helped me a lot from all of my clients to experience of running a gym to now opening my new gym this fall Redzone training center! A lot of hard work and sacrifice has went into this. I love helping people and changing lives for the better and I want to make sure me and my team continue to do so!

Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
It hasn’t been a smooth road. I honestly do not know where I would be if I never changed my lifestyle and go into fitness. I do not like to share this much but I hope to inspire people as much as possible with my story. Before owning a gym, I was comfortable in the oilfield and I know I would not have taken that leap of faith to train full time. I got laid off from the oilfield unexpectedly and at that time me and my girlfriend had just found out we were having my daughter on that Friday and I got laid off on that Monday. I was crushed but I had no choice but to figure things out quick. I quickly decided to jump on an opportunity to partner up with my two good friends and help them open Apex Houston Gym as part owner. Money didn’t start just coming in immediately so I worked two other jobs to make ends meet while still trying to grow the gym. We all busted our butts and within one year, I was able to quit both of the other jobs and do what I love full time. Its a blessing and since then the success and people ive been able to reach has only gone up!

Redzone Training Center – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
Redzone Training Center is a gym that offers memberships, person training, and athletic training! We pride ourselves in not just getting you in shape physically but also helping our people on the mental side as well. Confidence, relieving stress, taking pride, etc….. are all major keys into success to accomplish a goal. My new gym will also be close to the area I grew up in and I guarantee we will make an impact on the community by helping out where we can.

What is “success” or “successful” for you?
I define success in multiple ways! For me personally success involves a variety of things, I look to see if one is able to achieve a goal they might have and once they make it to the goals how can they help others. For example as for me, I work very hard and my goals are to be able to replicate my success thus far to make sure my entire team is successful and that we can help as many people possible.
