Eleven years ago, a Georgia State University student walked into the Alloy facilities for an internship and loved what he saw from the first day. The gym was packed, everybody was smiling and having fun, and the experience looked great.

Right there, Cody Parks knew that this is what he wanted to do; this is what personal training should look like. Everything that he had envisioned was right before his eyes.

It didn’t take long for Rick to notice his passion for fitness, particularly his knack for numbers and business systems. 

After the successful internship, Rick recommended Cody for a Director of Training role at a gym that wasn’t doing so well. Not only did Cody work with the owner to revive it, but he later made a play to buy it.

Now Cody is a successful gym owner with big plans to help even more people by teaching freedom through fitness in schools, churches, and worldwide.

His story is worth a listen, Tune in.
