From a young age he augmented a scorching and limitless desire to pioneer the fitness industry. These boundless attributes have become the driving factors towards a rapidly rising and promising career. Michael began his journey with one of the industry giants, Bally Total Fitness. During this time, Michael was quick to adapt an inconceivable notion that his success was primarily ensured by those who he surrounded himself with. Driven by an aristocratic quest for knowledge from top dynamic talent, he quickly rose through the ranks while tailoring his give all, to win all approach. “They changed my thinking, it changed my life”, is how it all started.
Michael swept through ranks at Bally Total Fitness Cleveland Willoughby Club, from Sales Manager to General Manager. His aptness to outperform projected profitability, lead to record breaking monthly production. Gaining recognition for achieving Club of the Month and Elite Performer Titles, enabled him to become Area Manager for Bally’s Cleveland, Akron, and Toledo Clubs. At this point, manifesting year gross revenues for the region in excess of five million dollars. It was then, that it hit Michael through his entrepreneurial spirit that his time had come for higher aspirations.
In 2004 Michael carried out a complete overhaul of an underperforming fitness venture. In the process he became co-owner and CEO of Elite Fitness in Bainbridge, Ohio. Michael cultivated sales strategies in both Personal Training (PT) and Club Level, yielding an increase in PT and Club Level membership gross revenues. Turning an underperforming fitness club into an asset in just two years convinced Michael that he was ready to begin evolving his own vision for the fitness industry.
Fit4All Fitness Center was created in 2006. Michael raised over four hundred and fifty thousand dollars in capital contributions for the development of a Health and Fitness Center. Using his knowledge of the industry, his marketing pre-sale strategy, ensured club profitability prior to being fully operational.
Due to his success, Michael has been able to dedicate time to perfect his training with a passion for mentoring others. Michael is not only a mentor, but consistently seeks mentoring from others. His open minded and unprejudiced covet for knowledge, has undoubtedly added value to his developmental skills in a sought out path to distinguish himself from the competition. In time he has been able to realize the necessary tools needed to revolutionize the industry. Constant research and dedication have allowed him to perfect his philosophy on what a modern day quintessential fitness club should entail.
Today, Michael credits what has become, to those who he has helped, along with those who have helped him. His preeminent and most recent mentor, Sean Phillips, has become the focal point in the introduction to a modern day abstract of what his current project “Knockouts”, is and will be. With Sean’s guidance, Michael has been able to procreate a momentous and idiosyncratic concept never before seen; adapting a unique and technologically enhanced vision, determined to see it to its core.
Ultimately, Michael’s story is nowhere near its end. Michael has navigated the industry with the “best”, and is now seeking to be the “one”. With an objective to revitalize minds, gravitate fitness, and redefine lives. This is what makes Michael Delguyd such a captivating figure. As Muhammad Ali once said “The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - Behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights.”
“The key is preparation. Work harder than everyone behind the scenes and suddenly there is no competition. You are sure to win.” – Michael Delguyd
