We were lucky to catch up with Damontez Pendleton recently and have shared our conversation below.

Damontez, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Owning a business isn’t always glamorous and so most business owners we’ve connected with have shared that on tough days they sometimes wonder what it would have been like to have just had a regular job instead of all the responsibility of running a business. Have you ever felt that way?

I’m definitely happier as a business owner opposed to being an employee because I have the freedom to do what I want and what I love. I’ve had several jobs and I didn’t like the experience of working for someone. The only way I’ll work for someone else is to learn more information to make myself a better business owner.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

There are many struggles I had to face during the process before starting NLF. I moved to Kansas City in December of 2018 along my sister who I have guardianship over without a dollar to my name. I began my journey here working at Blue Valley Recreation Center part-time as a trainer and a telemarketing gig full-time before NLF existed. Needless to say, I’m entirely grateful for the relationships I’ve bulit in order to get to this point today. Those relationships helped open doors to the opportunity for me to start training at Dynasty under Irise Performance in 2019 before starting NLF in 2020.

No Limit Fitness was started in May of 2020 during the global pandemic. We have a partnership with Adidas Team Dynasty Volleyball Club – one of the premier volleyball clubs in the country. I’ve been training athletes since 2008 when I was in high school. I love how physical fitness challenges you to become a better version of yourself. With that being said I always wanted to make a positive impact in people’s lives through training. That’s the main reason we call ourselves Sport Performance and Fitness Coaches instead of trainer.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

I’m proud to come from one of the most dangerous cities in America (Chicago South Side Wild 100’s). For me to be here today is a miracle. I want to help prove there’s more to black men from the south side than what the media portrays in the news. I’m extremely proud to be the parent/guardian of my sister who is 10 years younger than me. We’ve been through much pain but now look at what God has done for us. I pride myself by giving my all into training my clients to become the best version of themselves on a daily.

What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?

The most effective strategy for growing your clientele is to have great customer service. I also believe that testimonies are always a good way to help generate new clients.
