Before there was Volution Fitness… there was almost “Jymz Gym.” 😂

In 2012, I started with 1,100 square feet, a small handful of clients, and a vision for what this could become.

When my mentor heard the name, he told me, “You need a better marketing name.”

That honest feedback helped shape the beginning of Volution Fitness. Every business starts somewhere—and that little space was ours.

Were you part of the early days? Drop a memory below. 👇 If you joined us later, tell us when you became part of the Volution family!

Ha that’s what we said when we found out your name “Jim owns a Gym!”

I joined the gym back when it was on Tieton. I worked in a big brother program and my client was maybe 9 years old, and your gym had this free fitness program for kids once a week. It was a really nice resource for the youth and the community and my clients family couldn’t afford a gym membership. Happy to see Volutions growth within the community.
