After telling all my members personally, Id like to share my news with all of you. I have received an offer on my gym building and have accepted, therefore closing the gym. This is an incredible business opportunity for me and my family and also allows me to travel to be with Ashlyn more in California and to not miss Hanleys Volleyball games, out of town tournaments,track meets, or other events in their lives which is extremely important to me. This decision is bittersweet and was not made easily. Closing the doors to this Community we have all built together for the past 3 years is extremely difficult. I have owned Visionary Bootcamp for 3 years, but have been programming/ coaching for 12 plus and some of my members have been with me since the very beginning. We have grown together in this gym and I will take away many great positive memories and lifelong friendships, I hope anyone who has been a part of VBC today or at some point are able to do the same. I am incredibly grateful to each of my members who allowed VBC to be a part of their fitness journey, they trusted my programming and the gym to be their Community to motivate and push them to be the best version of themselves . Our Community is special, its positive, we have the nicest,most helpful, inviting, genuine members and im so thankful for that and so so proud. I have watched all of them either overcome fears, accomplish goals, build friendships, and be proud of themselves for tackling a tough workout or completing a monthly/ nutritional challenge. How fortunate am I that I had this opportunity to meet/ coach all of them and experience all these moments along side of them. I love coaching, I love the challenge of programming everyday and I love seeing members gain strength and confidence physically and mentally. I have held fundraisers and events for people I care deeply about at this gym and have witnessed the Community come together for these to support each other in times of need. These times are all heartwarming and moments ill never forget.
Id like to personally thank my coaches for being encouraging , positive coaches, I always received wonderful feedback from our members about how helpful you all are. They have jobs and families, I appreciate the time they were able to give. Id like to thank my family for always being supportive, patient, and always believing I could do anything and now supporting this hard decision. Believing in the people you love and really hearing them through choices and new adventures is one of the best gifts you can give someone. Thank you!
I’d like to thank Adam for being the gym’s best maintenance man, floor cleaner, grounds keeper, snow plower etc but mostly for giving me his continuous support.
Members, please continue your fitness journey whether it be at a different gym, ( we are fortunate to have a lot of great choices in the Quad Cities ),your garage, basement, online, etc. If you ever need motivation or someone to help you during this transitional period, please reach out. I will always be a message away! Our last class is on Saturday, August 5th. I invite anyone who has ever worked out in this gym to come take part in our last day workout together. Thank you Visionary Bootcamp, family, and friends for this incredible ride!!! You will always have a very special place in my heart❤️ Coach Olivia
