We were lucky to catch up with Elva Trevino recently and have shared our conversation below.
Elva , thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today To kick things off, we’d love to hear about things you or your brand do that diverge from the industry standard
Champions Club was a movement I started in 2019 of helping women through fitness while I advocated for mental health in a proactive way. Since then we’ve expanded into other ventures, and our proud of what our community has done to help others during the pandemic. Champions Club has been recognized by the City Of Houston and Mayor Turner for our impact in the community proclaiming every August 8th as Champions Club Day. I have been nominated top 100 visionaries in healthcare, because of the creative approach in serving leaders through health and fitness, and we’re just getting started. We have taken a “gym” and enhanced mental health , leadership and self/business development through our walls. The tag line “A gym for leaders” was adopted in 2020.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your background and context?
I’ve been an athlete my entire life, but after severe kidney issues and being diagnosed with Chron’s, it took my love for sports and the gym to an entirely new level. We don’t have time , and it’s important to meet our clients and community where they are to help them hit their highest potential in health, mental strength and their life achievements. It’s important to me to teach others how to get into action and stay on top. We’re “a gym for leaders” for a reason, and now with our Champions Club Agency opening doors for speakers, musicians and models we have elevated our community through fitness and are unlocking people’s dreams through our communities. We just recently hosted our second Champions Club Conference elevating our clients on the big stage along with community leaders and partnerships that are strengthening the community alongside us. It’s been a blessing to pave a way for others in business, leadership and character.
How’d you meet your business partner?
Blanca Beltran and I were introduced at a well known business networking event a few years ago. A mutual friend introduced us and said “I don’t know what you two are going to do together, but it’s going to be huge you HAVE to meet!” And we’ve done just that. In 2021 Champions Club Agency was birthed as a sister company to the gym. Blanca and I share a mutual passion for serving others . We both have been serving our community in depth for decades and love connecting amazing people to incredible opportunities. We have already gotten our girls on the cover of QUE ONDA magazine, worked with Hollywood directors , hosted fashion shows and are on the cusp of exploding our market with some of our own fitness models, musicians and public speakers. It’s been a blast utilizing my previous experience working for one of the most recognizable modeling companies in Texas, living in Hollywood , singing on stages most of my childhood life and now birthing our own movement within the Agency to help others.
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
Most people know about the severe kidney issues I’ve dealt with having tubes coming out of my back while I spoke on stages several years ago. But what they don’t know is in 2020 my body wasn’t allowing me to process normal and healthy foods. My intestines would massively swell every time I ate even the cleanest foods and especially when I worked out. Alot of times after workouts or just eating I looked several months pregnant due to inflammation and flare ups that would last days or weeks . Chron’s hasn’t been fun but it hasn’t stopped me, I’ve had to persevere through some major hits in 2021 but on top of that chronic fatigue, waking up not being able to walk on my own feet because of swelling every morning made it so much harder. I would have to slowly walk to get ready to take my daughter to school that my bones even felt delicate and painful . One of my doctors told me in 2021 “You’re so strong, you don’t even realize how much your body is in a constant fight.” We don’t have time to waste, and whether that time is in a few years or several decades from now, I’ve committed to helping people and to go down guns blazing no matter what. The human mind and God are the most powerful tool we have and we must continue to sharpen our relationship with both. You never know how strong you really are until you’re tested and if it was given to you , you can handle it. We’ve committed to teaching leaders how to TRAIN the body and mind to stay prepared for life, family and leadership roles. In a time where people lack resiliency, support and clarity, we’re helping everyone stay on the offensive side of their life while staying grateful for every second of it.
