change your mindset, change your life
My name is Micah Chavez and I am from Aurora, Colorado. I went to Grandview High School, where I primarily played football. My passion for weight training was initially sparked my junior year of high school. I needed to put on at least 25 pounds for my senior season, so that offseason I trained each and every day. I learned so much about my body and this addiction for the gym was just beginning to develop. I made the hard decision to quit playing football entering my first year at Colorado Mesa University and just focus on my academics. I had no idea what to do with my spare time, and it was at this time that I was driven to spend more time in the gym. I replaced my passion for football with weight training in order better myself. I love all sports and still train to compete each and every day. It wasn’t until my third semester of college that I changed my major from accounting to fitness and health promotion, in hopes to motivate all of those around me. I am still just beginning my fitness journey and encourage all to join!

My name is Drew Mendez, I grew up in the small town of La Salle in northern Colorado, I graduated high school from Greeley West where I played tennis, baseball, and wrestled. I moved to Grand Junction, Colorado in 2017 to start school at Colorado Mesa University. I went in with an undeclared major just focusing on my academics. It wasn’t until I was tired of being “the skinny guy” that I started going to the gym. I couldn’t believe how quickly I began to fall in love with it and my passion for fitness began to blossom. I became super interested in everything fitness related. I eventually declared my major to be Exercise Science where I continually learn how the human body works and how to make it perform to its best ability and progress as a whole. My fitness journey has shown and given me true happiness and I hope to help you find that happiness along your journey and fall in love like I did through your own passions.
