ABOUT ME
John Mitchell, owner of Phat Body Gym, began his fitness journey in college after friends inspired him to consider a professional career in fitness.
“When I start something I am really passionate about challenging myself and if I like something and see the possibilities of it working, I am going to find a strategy to get it done,” says Mitchell.
Fueled by his determination and passion for fitness, the personal trainer turned business owner now operates four fitness facilities throughout the Houston area with plans to celebrate the opening of his first franchise in January.
Thick Chic Mania is a competition Mitchell developed to enhance the awareness and redefine the beauty seen in all women. Phat Body Gym was started on the principles of overall growth and fitnss, not just in the body but the mind and spirit as well. It is important that we recognize and strengthen our God given gifts by working our confidence muscle. Outer physique begins with inner strength.
“God is off the chain. Any doors that open up to me I know it has to be God,” says Mitchell.
He also says, “I think that a lot of us are naturally born with specific gifts, but it is up to us to bring it out and make it manifest.”
In the meantime, he is heeding his own advice and doing what he loves best—helping people transform their lives and become stronger- inside and out.
