Picture this…

You are just 22, and with no experience, you paint houses to pay the bills, but then you had a dream to own your own gym…

Entrepreneur Tom Hatten had a dream to start a health and fitness business.

He took his entire savings of $2000 and built Arizona’s leading fitness empire: 17 locations; 1,400 employees, and 95,000 active members.

But Tom’s real life 30-year journey isn’t just an account of growing a successful business; his true story takes us to heady highs and crashing lows (including bankruptcy, jail time, and a horrific personal tragedy).

That’s exactly why when we were in Scottsdale, AZ. Last month, we had to make a stop at Mountainside Fitness and talk with the amazing Tom Hatten.
