11/2/25 Important Update!

First, I want to thank you all for the amazing  amount of love, care, support and even patience you have shown me in the last three weeks. The messages, the way you’ve constantly checked in on me, flowers sent, your donations to the GoFundMe and even more your attendance to the lantern release and funeral. This love and support has made a mark on my heart that can’t be erased and I’m thankful to God for every single one of you.

On October 4, we all know that my life was complete shattered and changed forever by the passing of my son Clayton Jr. Even right now trying to write this message it’s killing me and I’m overwhelmed with so many emotions. I’ve prayed and prayed over how to just survive and make it through each day, let alone how to see and do life with this type of pain. I’ve asked myself how can I be what I’ve been, how can I return to be an effective coach when at any moment I’m breaking down or when I have no place to motivate from or no true connection anymore to the saying NO CHALLENGE NO CHANGE or Everything you got for Everything you WANT!   

In all of my thinking and praying I’ve come to the conclusion that if I am to survive and live with this then it’s going to be through God and by living a life that honors my son in every way every single day. Clayton was motivated to make his life better. He loved inspiring people and he loved working out and one of his biggest desires that so many knew about was to help me with the gym and to open a second location. I didn’t think I could find any motivation since his death and I didn’t think I could return to anything but I hear my son and Im finding motivation for myself, my children, for Built, for surrounding myself with people who love and care about me in and beyond the gym! Clayton was proud of his father and proud of what was BUILT! And I swear to every one of you I’m proud to call you family! I am not the same but it is my son’s motivation that is pushing me to be ok and work to be better and to KEEP GOING! 

As of November 3rd classes will resume and I will be teaching. I pray for your patience as I know it will be hard and emotional at times but I do know this that amongst you all is where I want and need to be! To heal, to grow and to GO HARD for life after pain! 

More info concerning class schedule and membership options will be coming in the next day. Thank you Built Fit Family, thank you and love you to LIFE!
