We recently connected with Drexel Perkins and have shared our conversation below.

Drexel, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?

Kingdom Fitness started as a bootcamp in Ascension Parish at East Ascension High School Track, training the general public of the community. The business progressively grew from 5 to 10+ people in attendance, 3 times a week. Eventually the bootcamps were in-housed at the Geismar Community Center due to weather, but the need to train was still there. Kingdom Fitness began on a steady incline, helping people from surrounding areas of Ascension Parish on the monthly basis for 8 months in 2011.

Presently, Kingdom Fitness is continuing to help people in the area of health and wellness. Instead of bootcamps weekly the training is now in forms of: Personal training , Group training, Athletic training, Sportscamps, Athletic/Sports Specific training, Monthly Gym Memberships, and Recreational activities. This allows Kingdom Fitness to hit all forms of health and wellness, athletes, families, and individuals in general of all ages.

Stick around, we will continue to grow!

YOU ARE KINGDOM FITNESS!

Drexel, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I am a man of faith who believes in the core values of communication, accountability, consistency, & hardwork. In the midst of doing all these things I know for a truth, that there is nothing that cannot be accomplished. I am most proud of seeing the progress with people and student athletes in their desired goals, and through working the core values/principals that I wrote about earlier, come to fruition in their lives.

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?

That you dont have to have the best education or highest education to do what you believe you can do. Education is not bad and truly beneficial but is not the only way.

We’d love to hear about how you met your business partner.

My cofounder/business partner is real close. We dated for 7 months and have been married for 3 years and some change. So yea, thats how
