About Us
Why name this company RESURGENCE?
Right out of college I jumped into Technology. I worked for more Dot.coms than I care to remember, traveled all over the country selling “the future”. I loved it, thrived and did pretty well financially. My plan was to make a zillion bucks by the time I turned 30, hang up my suit and laptop and do what I love doing the most….making people healthy.
Six months before my 30th birthday, I was unceremoniously booted from my job, my stock options were out of the money, a house I was building was delayed, my relationship was on the rocks, I had two car accidents and I couldn’t run 1 mile, the Tech Bust was on and I was as low as I could get. I sunk into a depression and became a shell of my former (overly) confident self.
A very good friend and former coworker heard about my state and called me. He really cheered me up and said some fateful words.
“Soon, there is going to be a RESURGENCE of Kenneth Bobo.”
So, what did I do? (cue the Rocky music) I enrolled in massage school, I started studying for my Personal Trainer exam, I started eating right, I took a job as an Intern at a small gym. I went from brokering Million dollar deals to racking weights and studying anatomy.
All that seems like yesterday. Since then we have trained, massaged and developed programs for over 1000 people. We make people healthier, stronger, faster and happier. We throw some great happy hours and create friendships that last.
Our Boot Camps are designed to get people active in non-traditional ways. I personally get bored with routines, treadmills and gym life. We challenge our instructors to keep workouts fresh and different. We burn more calories, do more push-ups and crack more jokes than any class in Austin. We are not an 'in-your-face' type of class nor do we allow cliques to form. In fact, we are a very close knit and supportive group.
As time passes we will offer new classes and a broader approach to overall health. We have recently started our Butts and Gutts class designed to strengthen the core and other essential areas without the intensive cardio of our Bootcamps. We will be rolling out Resurgence Nutrition in 2010. We are also developing classroom instruction for those struggling with Obesity.
