Community Highlights: Meet Johnyee Storey of Alpha Fitness

Today we’d like to introduce you to Johnyee Storey.

Hi Johnyee, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
In 2016 I was a personal trainer at another gym and worked for a doctor. During this time, I would drive by this other gym in town on my way to and from work and always wondered who owned it. I would daydream about how awesome it would be to own my place someday and raise my kids in wellness.! In December 2017, I decided to leap, put an offer in on the business, and quit my full-time job to focus solely on growing this gym. It was full of endless possibilities, and I had the vision to make it the best vibe and the best gym in Pittsburg to help people get fit! Fast forward 6 years later, we have had to add equipment, rearrange the structure, and change our ways of doing things to grow with our community.! I couldn’t be any more proud of the direction in which we are headed, and I couldn’t do what I love without our members.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It has sometimes been challenging. Struggles included increasing security with members in and out of the building. And a huge headache was remodeling and rearranging the facility. Plus, the challenges of being an entrepreneur and a mother.

We’ve been impressed with Alpha Fitness, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart?
We are a 24/7 membership-based gym in Pittsburg, Kansas. Originally our name was MAC Fitness, and last year we rebranded. We are a full-athlete facility. Our gym has a great vibe for those seeking to be fit, healthy, competitive, and driven. Right now, we are in the process of replacing and adding new equipment to serve our community better. We are proud to provide the space for our members to build, train and perform to become the best version of themselves. There’s no doubt we are the best gym in Pitt!

Any big plans?
We are updating equipment and are looking forward to expanding our space!
