How did Build A Gym start?
-
2020, they left corporate America.
Build A Gym was founded by newlyweds and passionate fitness enthusiasts Dillon Ivey and Alejandra Donoso, who walked away from their corporate careers to start it.
-
The problem they ran into:
The idea was minted during the nationwide quarantine, when they discovered it was almost impossible to find affordable, yet high quality, home gym equipment.
-
So they built the alternative.
They leveraged their complementary skills to launch a business dedicated to helping others start or maintain an effective fitness routine in the safety and comfort of their own home. No monthly membership fee, no ridiculously expensive contract, doors always open, and you get to say, “I made it to the gym today.”
