Where Serious Happens.
"Couple opens gym for clients interested in healthy living" By JENNIFER SUMMER Updated: 02.22.10 Kim and Paul Smith have worked as personal trainers for years, teaching their clients the ins and outs of good nutrition as well as how to build muscle definition and tone. A healthy lifestyle is not just something they teach to their clients, it is the way they live their lives. The couple wants to share more with the community so they opened Monster Gym at the front of Kingwood in January. “We opened Monster Gym to appeal to customers who are more serious about working out. Everyone who comes into our gym knows the owners and it is a very personable place,” Paul said. “We work out with them, personal train and help them with their nutrition.” Monster Gym features a variety of weightlifting equipment, cardio equipment, sports agility training, women’s Hardbody Boot Camp classes, body sculpting and an area where athletes can practice indoors for baseball or softball. The walls of the gym have spray painted messages from guests who work out at the gym that focus on motivating themselves and others to train and work hard. It is their own way to add a personal touch to the gym. “We wanted to open Monster Gym to reach more of the market. We cater to everyone from body builders, figure competitors, power lifters, and athletes as well as others who are willing to work hard and are serious about results,” Kim said. Monster Gym is the first Monster Energy Drink showcase gym in the United States, which means it will have its lobby renovated by the energy drink company to feature the company’s merchandise and there will be a machine to sell the popular drink. “We are not your average Kingwood gym. We focus on full-body wellness and give each of our clients personal attention,” Paul said. “We have clients who will text us from a restaurant to ask what they can eat that is healthy or from a grocery store and ask about healthy options.” Additionally, Monster Gym has a sports therapist, Bob Garrett, who specializes in sports massage, stretching to improve flexibility and range of motion, deep tissue massage and therapeutic massage. Paul is a body builder while Kim is a figure competitor so they both know about the hard work and dedication it takes to get there. The Monster Gym is planning to have a power-lifting competition March 27 where well-known bench press multi- record holder Tiny Meeker, who trains at the gym, will be lifting as well as area lifters. The event is open to the public though there will be small nominal door fee. “We are looking forward to continuing to grow and encourage everyone to check us out. We are all about healthy living and working hard to stay in good shape and we incorporate that in our family,” Paul said. “We work out with everyone and know everyone that walks in our door.” Monster Gym is located at 23810 U.S. Highway 59 in Kingwood.
