Today we’d like to introduce you to Alex Thorn.
Alex, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
After I decided to leave the World of Pro Wrestling, I needed to heal my wounds. The left knee, lower back problems, right rib cage, hips being out of line & neck being 60 degree’s forward from where it should be… all needed to be healed somehow and since I had so much extra time on my hands, I had to hit the gym. And consistently. As I dedicated myself, gym members began to notice the changes my body was making and I was posting so much to social media about my workouts that I began using the hashtag #ThornFitness. People online were curious, People at the gym were curious… Becoming a Trainer was the next logical step in the Evolution of Alex Thorn.
Has it been a smooth road?
Since the beginning of Thorn Fitness, there has been MANY hurdles to get over. From Big Box gym’s banning our Trainers and even members to other trainers trying to shut down our information events with potential clients. Surviving re-locations and shut downs has been trying, but Passion pulls through and our clients love us. It’s what keeps us Alive.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with Thorn Fitness – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
The initial vision for Thorn Fitness was to be more of a Traditional bodybuilding route versus all of the CrossFit madness that had been taking over the Chicago Fitness Scene. Today, Thorn Fitness is a mixture of both Traditional Bodybuilding and Functional Training Methods. I’ve always based the Live 2 Win mantra for Thorn Fitness off of the determination and consistency it took me to become a Champion in the world of Professional Wrestling, and our client’s love it. One of the coolest moment’s for Thorn Fitness is when People hear about the business and say “I’ve heard of that before” or when they say they recognize the logo. Those moments are precious to me.
Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
Chicago is one of the most diverse cities in the world and I love there out going nature. Never a dull story coming from a Chicago Client.
