10 years of Xcel Movement and Performance đ
First off, none of this would be possible without our clients who believed in us. Thank you to everyone whether weâve seen you once or youâve been with us for years. This dream wouldnât have had happened without you.
XMP was an idea that physical therapy needed to be better. In 2015 after moving here from Texas, I started the company in the first CrossFit gym that let me bring in a table and a bag of stuff, . I quickly grew to going to 6 more gyms in the area and for that first year I would go to each location throughout the week.
Then came our first brick and mortar that envisioned my dream of what a wellness facility for athletes needed to be. We had a gym area for movement classes, whole body cryotherapy, PT and massage. Unfortunately when my older daughter was born we discovered she had a rare chromosomal syndrome that required a lot of medical testing and appointments. To keep the business from going under, I had to downsize and move our location.
Thankfully I met some owners of a bike store, trilife, who believed in what we did and allowed me to move my business into the back of their store. I operated out of that space for 2-3 months before we found our current location that weâve had for the last 8 years.
Owning a small business is not for the weak. There were a lot of mistakes that led to some dark days. More sleepless nights than I could count wondering how was I going to make it to the next month. Years of sacrificing vacations and events to get the work done so the business would survive.
But there was so many more moments of happiness. Seeing so many of my clients gain hope when we helped them overcome an injury or pain that no one else could. Watching them achieve their goals when they thought it couldnât be possible. Thatâs what has made even the darkest of days worth it.
Itâs also for my daughters. From their infant days of car seat naps to coming with me to âorganizeâ the office. I want them to see that if you have a dream you can make it possible with hard work and believing in yourself.
Hereâs to the next 10 years đ
