Today we’d like to introduce you to Caitlin Jendrusch.
Hi Caitlin, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
Thank you for asking about my journey in starting my business and how I got to where I am today. Fitness and sports have been my deep passions since I was young, and I’ve had the privilege of working in various gyms, which further fueled my love for this industry. When the pandemic hit, it was a challenging time for everyone, but it also catalyzed me to take a leap of faith and pursue my dream of opening my gym. I knew deep down that this was the path I wanted to take, and I was determined to make it a reality. Fortunately, I had already built a strong clientele by that time, and their unwavering support played a crucial role in helping me open and partner with TSS at my first location in Poth. It was an incredibly joyful and exciting moment to see my vision come to life. As the business started thriving, I realized the importance of keeping up with the growing demand. It was clear that I needed to expand, not only to meet the needs of my clients but also to reach out and help more individuals in their fitness journeys. That’s when I was blessed to open and partner with TSS at another location in Eagle Creek. My passion for fitness and sports has always driven my success throughout this journey. However, what truly brings me fulfillment is the opportunity to impact my clients’ lives positively. Helping others live and feel better has been one of my most outstanding achievements, and it motivates me every day. I am deeply grateful for the support of my clients and the trust they have placed in me. Their belief in my expertise and their commitment to their wellness has been instrumental in shaping the success of my business. Without them, none of this would have been possible. My journey in starting up my business has been a testament to my passion for fitness and unwavering dedication to my clients. It is an honor to be able to help others on their wellness journeys, and I am excited to continue making a positive impact in the world of fitness.
It wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Thank you for asking about my journey in starting my business and whether it has been a smooth road. It has been a challenging path for me. Along the way, I encountered some hostility from certain people. I remember feeling nervous and uncertain, especially when I tried to share my excitement and plans with others, only to be met with skepticism and negativity. It was disheartening and challenging to navigate these conflicting opinions and perspectives. My conflict of interest with some friends made it even more difficult. It pained me to see relationships strained because I decided to pursue my dream. But I knew deep down that I had to follow my passion and take the risk, even if it meant facing obstacles. Years later, looking back on those challenging times, I realize that what truly matters is that we have all found success in our ways. Despite the initial doubts and hardships, I managed to build a thriving business that I am proud of. And I am grateful that those who once questioned my choices have come to respect and support me in my journey. This journey has taught me the importance of staying true to myself, even when faced with adversity. It has shown me the power of perseverance and the resilience needed to overcome obstacles. Above all, it has reinforced the belief that following my passion and pursuing my dreams are worth every challenge and sacrifice. Today, I am grateful for the lessons learned and the growth from facing those difficulties head-on. It has made me stronger and more determined, and I am excited to continue pushing forward, embracing new opportunities, and making a positive impact in the business world. Ultimately, it’s not about the smoothness of the road, but about the journey itself and the resilience that comes from overcoming obstacles. And despite the initial struggles, I am proud of where I am today and the success we have all achieved.

How do you think about luck?
During my journey in life and business, luck has played a significant role, both in terms of good luck and bad luck. I am incredibly fortunate to have such loyal clientele who have supported me unwaveringly throughout the ups and downs. One instance that stands out is when I first announced the opening of Gainz Garage. Unfortunately, I faced a hurdle right from the start. It was a challenging and arduous process, filled with stress and uncertainty. At that moment, I genuinely feared that Gainz Garage might be unable to continue its operations. However, during this challenging time, I experienced a tremendous stroke of luck through the unwavering support of my family, friends, and clients. Their belief in me and dedication to our shared vision carried me through those trying times. Their encouragement and loyalty were the pillars that held me up when I needed it most; for that, I will be forever grateful. This experience has taught me the power of resilience and the importance of surrounding yourself with a robust support system. It has also instilled in me a deep appreciation for luck’s role in our lives and businesses. While we may not have control over the circumstances that come our way, we can control how we respond to them and the people we choose to surround ourselves with. Luck and God have undoubtedly played a significant role in my life and business. It has brought challenges and opportunities, but the unwavering support of my loyal clientele has been the driving force behind my success. I am truly fortunate to have such incredible individuals by my side, and I will continue to work tirelessly to repay their faith in me.
