Tyler wears many hats. Business owner, husband, father, friend. But if we had to sum up Tyler in one word, that would be genuine. He loves his family dearly and wants nothing but the best for his friends and our gym community. Earlier this year he won our Muddy Award for Class Clown. So as you can imagine he’s fun to be around and always brings a positive attitude to the gym. Tyler owns the local pub & eatery Blackwell’s in Cahaba Heights. If you haven’t tried his new Paleo Bowl, you must! It’s delicious.
