Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Rashad Tucker. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Rashad, appreciate you joining us today. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?
Our Mission is to make members stronger physically and mentally in 30 mins. 9Round Downtown KC Kickboxing Fitness gives you an outlet to compete against yourself — and get stronger with every workout. Wherever you are on your fitness journey, you’ll feel at home in our intimate, boutique wellness studio. Our workouts are only 30 mins, full body, strength training, no class time, meal plan included, with a personal trainer. Growing up, I have always been active and into sports. Played college football @ Kansas State University and also Ottawa University, so Fitness is a habit for me. My dad was a professional boxer, so growing up I was always in the gym watching him and his team work hard to be the best they could be day in and day out. Watching this, helped my vision for helping others bring the best out of them, while helping myself as well. Heath and Fitness is everything!
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers?
Yes absolutely! I am Rashad Tucker, born and raised here in Kansas City MO. I earned my Bachelors Degree in Business Administration and Management. My goal and dream was to always own my own business. I enjoy helping others succeed, giving advice and motivation with hustle and drive. I was a member at a 9Round Franchise locally, loved the workout and culture and decided to open my own location Downtown Kansas City MO. I enjoy life with my wife Micaela, my 2 sons RJ and Royce.
How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
Being honest, outspoken, driven and leading with actions has helped my reputation and word of mouth in the Downtown KC market. Everyone knows how excited we are to help others with their fitness goals, it drives them to want to join. We have great trainers to help as well, it takes a team and community to be great. We are looking to improve every single day. We listen to our members, and we adapt to them as we know everything is different. Our members all have different goals and mindsets, but we have one vision for them; making them better than yesterday!
How about pivoting – can you share the story of a time you’ve had to pivot?
We opened up business right in the middle of COVID-19, June 1st 2020. Scary right? We have been blessed and thankful to have great trainers, and members to help us with support throughout these hard times. We strive to grow and become better every single day.
