Farewell Taylor

Today is Taylor’s last day at GAIN.

It’s hard to picture the gym without him. He’s been here for 9 years—which is completely unheard of in this industry. For a long time, every day I walked in, Taylor was already there. Giving Clementine some love, knowing when to talk and when to give me a minute. Someone I could vent to, bounce ideas off, and share both the frustrating and the good parts of training, life, and running a business.

A lot has changed in those 9 years. The gym has grown, and so have we. He’s not the young coach in his early twenties anymore. He’s a seasoned coach in his thirties who’s put in real time and real work.

This will be a big adjustment for all of us. But change like this is part of the deal if you’re committed to getting better. We adapt, we improve, and we keep going. That’s what this whole thing is built on - showing up, striving to get better, and putting in the time.

Taylor, I’m proud to have worked with you for as long as I have. I’m grateful you trusted me—and that you got it. You always understood the vision for the gym and what we’re trying to do.

You helped shape GAIN into what it is today. I won’t forget that.
