VIGOR GROUND FITNESS AND PERFORMANCE - "THE GO-GIVING GYM"

I like to give.We like to give.No other reason than to help inspire change in someone else and/or make a difference. It may just be the catalyst, the push, that creates a first step to a big change for someone; a transformation of some sorts.It’s one of our foundational and most important core values at Vigor Ground - being a “Go-Giver.”It doesn’t mean that we are not focused on our growth and take action on the goals that we have set out for ourselves. It means that part of our life and business is dedicated to helping others with no anticipation of receiving anything back.When I was younger and going down the wrong path there were people that helped me with no other reason that to see me succeed and do good. That left a mark on me because it inspired me to do the same for others.It has been something I had done for a long time but never really talked about until I was challenged to write out core values for my business when we started the Vigor Ground Fitness and Performance Gym. Weeks prior to writing out my core values I read a book that left a powerful impact on me until this day - The Go-Giver (by Bob Burg).The core value I wrote down and that lives within the walls of Vigor Ground is “Be A Go-Giver”

.I’m humbled and excited that what we do has been noticed and were fortunate to have “What’s Good 206” reach out to do a documentary on it.I believe it will tell more of a story than I can write...

We have and are continuing to make and grow this as a movement that inspires not only other businesses, but also individuals, to take action and give to others in need.I regularly get people saying that they can only do so much and it won’t make a difference. You have to realize that the action WILL make a difference.The first place it makes a difference inside of YOU; the feeling that you get. And when you do help someone you will want more of that feeling for yourself and others; which inspires you and others to do more.Many ripples create waves.It all starts with one ripple, just like any path to a goal starts with the first step, no matter how small it is.Take that first step and never look back.It was has never been more true that together we can change the world.At Vigor Ground we’ll keep pushing to be “Go-Givers” daily as we help people transform from the inside out while also giving to others in need, helping their life, showing that people care, and inspiring hope and giving in them.Do me a favor, do something for someone today just because.
