T Spot has 2 locations in H.B. One on Gothard (in town) and one on Main Street (at the beach). Here is Paul's story..In 1980 Paul came out to California from Michigan to pursue his dream of becoming a body builder. He landed at the world famous Gold's Gym in Venice, CA. After living in his car and training at the gym for a few months someone at Gold's asked him to help her formulate a fitness program. Thus, Personal Training started at Gold's Gym. Only Paul and one other bodybuilder were doing this back then, but it soon caught on.
Fast forward seven years and many clients later, Paul and Carolyn met. Carolyn was a student at UCLA and an athlete of the school rowing crew. Soon after meeting, Paul offered to hurt, err, I mean train Carolyn at Gold's. Yeah, good times.
Seeing how much fun Paul was having training clients Carolyn decided to jump in the game. All of her clients were “in-home” and she drove all around Los Angeles in her little Isuzu Trooper to take care of their fitness needs. Three children later, in 1993 the Fetters decided it was time to raise their growing family in Huntington Beach.
Carolyn was now a full-time stay-at-home mommy and Paul continued to drive up to Gold's in Venice for the mornings. In the afternoons Paul was making a new name for himself here in the OC. After four years of splitting up his day between LA and OC personal training sessions it was time to open his own facility. The only logical place was close to home, like right in his garage! This was many people's gym of choice for the next five years.
With Carolyn back training clients after the birth of their fourth child, and Paul maxed out, they realized that it was time to take yet another step and open a “real,” larger facility that could accommodate even more people. Saying “no” wasn't an option when it came to helping people become fit. They needed more space for sure.
What to call it....well, how about “The Garage Spot?” That would be a funny legacy, but for obvious reasons, not a good choice. They replaced the word Garage with what they offered, Training....and so it goes. May of 2007 will be their fifth year at the Gothard location and it has been a great experience for The Fetters. Many wonderful life-long relationships have been formed since the Garage days and on into The Training Spot.
Again, the Fetters found themselves running out of room. They couldn't make the Gothard TSpot bigger and they have always loved the downtown area of HB. One day Paul saw this old ugly Laundromat with a “For Lease” sign in the window. He called the number, and called and called. Paul just knew that this was it, the next Training Spot. He was right! Paul and Carolyn are so glad that you are all here at the Training Spot, at the beach.
