Stephen McCarthy’s Summary
In 2001, entrepreneur Stephen McCarthy of Rogers, MN knew that athletes wanted to succeed and were willing to pay the price for success, but they had one problem. Most of the so called information was marketing hype and it confused the real truth on "how to" succeed. After attempting these myself, we decided to start a company that would help athletes uncover the real truths. With this backdrop, our company started with the mission to train and assist athletes around the world to unleash their unique gifts to succeed in life and sport.
Our first product was training on a one-to-one basis. Areas covered were nutrition, mental preparation, and strength training. These personal sessions became the springboard for our team training. Our athletes have gained college scholarships, won national and state championships, and became elite athletes on their respective teams.
In 2004, the next logical step was the opening of our retail store and training center for endurance athletes, which is a division of Gear and Training. Runners, triathletes and cyclists can access professional fit services, as well as, strengh training programs. Our athletes and clients now have a one-stop shop for gear, components, training, and nutritional needs.
In 2008, Gear and Training made three changes. We moved to our current location, re-designed our website, and added outdoor gear to our selection. The focus was to feed the “adrenaline junkie” in the winter, as well as, the summer. Our clients now had access to apparel and gear for all seasons.
