About this episode

Glenn and Melissa Davis share their journey of building The Rig Ninja Gym and its impact on the community.

When one building closed, Glenn and Melissa Davis opened a new chapter one that would change their community. From Glenn’s decades of gymnastics coaching to Melissa discovering her athletic side at 46, The Rig Ninja Gym is rooted in faith, grit, and community. This episode takes you behind the scenes of how they turned setbacks into momentum, filled their classes in a town where “nobody thought it would work,” and created a space where everyone from kids to master athletes can find belonging and strength. You’ll hear how they’ve trained through injury, built culture on purpose, and stayed connected to what really matters.. helping people believe it’s possible.
