 Recently, the Titan Gym in Amsterdam became available on the open market. The gym was purchased by fight manager Gary Miller. Based out of New York, Miller immediately began renovations on the gym and hiring new staff. Many locals expected the changes to be followed by heftier fees. Instead, only a day after he had purchased the gym, Miller announced that Titan was to be a not for profit gym dedicated to helping athletes train.
In a phone conversation Miller stated, “I love martial arts. Training, conditioning and forging your body. It’s what I do. That’s why I’ve surrounded myself with it. I’ve been blessed and I want to give back to other athletes that might not have the cash to train in gyms that cater to the elite. Here at Titan, they will receive the same high quality training with top notch equipment and trainers for only fifty bucks a month.”
When questioned about the business logic of investing in a gym that would be practically guaranteed to lose money month after month Miller laughed and answered, “I have enough to keep that gym running for quite a while. Beyond that, I do have a diverse portfolio that allows me to make sacrifices like that. And also, I would hope that when some of these athletes go on to be superstars...well I hope they’ll remember the gym that helped them do it.”
On a tour of Titan gym, everything is exactly as advertised. Featuring free weights and machines, several targeted conditioning classes and an available sauna Titan gym will suit athletes of all levels. And with plenty of available space for future expansion athletes of Amsterdam will no doubt be pleased with the rebirth of the Titan.
