Today we’d like to introduce you to Ian Cavanaugh.
Hi Ian, so excited to have you on the platform. So, before we get into questions about your work life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today.
Defiance Strength & Conditioning has been around for 3 years. We started out as an independent contractor under another gym in Springboro, Ohio, and built our business from the ground up.
We are now currently located in our own facility in Centerville, Ohio. 116 Westpark Road
We offer 24-hour access gym memberships and specialize in Sports Performance Training.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
The biggest struggles were for our owner Ian Cavanaugh, who was a Firefighter/EMT who overcame a debilitating back injury from service.
Our slogan is “A Misfits Paradise” for the reason of we want people who are not normal, the outsiders.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
Strength & Conditioning is what we are known for and most proud of.
If we knew you growing up, how would we have described you?
I was very introverted and was bullied for family circumstances I could not control. But this sparked my interest into the gym and is why I believe we are the misfits of the fitness community.
