Today we’d like to introduce you to Melvin Sanders.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Melvin. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I’m a former professional basketball player for 13 years; I played for the San Antonio Spurs as well as with several European basketball teams. I was also a strength and conditioning coach for the San Antonio Spurs NBA summer league team. At Oklahoma State University, I graduated with a degree in sociology; I was the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year as well as all-Academic Big 12 honors. During high school in Kansas, I was a 15-time state Track and Field champion, twice winning Gatorade Athlete of the Year honors. I retired from basketball five years ago. Started training a few professional athletes during my last year of basketball. Once I retired, I started training a few clients in a small apartment gym to keep myself busy and not be bored afterlife without basketball. Pretty soon I found myself training clients 16 hours a day. After four years in the small apartment gym. I decided to create, design and build SandersFit Performance Center.
Has it been a smooth road?
Growing up I was raised in a single parent home. So yes there were many struggles, with my mom having four kids< working three jobs and still it enough money to feed us or pay the bills. But that made me the person I am today, always hardworking and having the will to succeed. As far as the business side, it has been an amazing transition. I’ve created a platform where the people around me can succeed. My idea is not make SandersFit Performance Center about me, but about the clients, health coaches and everyone that works out in my gym.
