Today we’d like to introduce you to Hannibal Smith.
Hannibal, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I joined forces with Dan Hark six years ago in the fitness industry. What started as a casual training relationship, blossomed into a brotherhood and partnership that built what the studio is today. I am standing here because of a vast support system, and a community that is building upon itself daily. Training has always been my life, playing soccer in San Diego, and going on to play college soccer, my path was always heading towards fitness and building a team. At its core that is what NXPT is, a community, a team built on fitness; but so much more than fitness.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
I wish the road was always smooth along the way. In 2015 I lost my son, who was 3 years old, my wife and I are still fighting that battle. We thank God for our church community and NXPT for the love, compassion, and hope they still pump into us to this day. Dan and I also had a split of our foundational team, that left the gym in a very uncertain place… but through both of those instances it galvanized us in purpose, and gave us tunnel vision in terms of the goals and impact we wanted to have.
NXPT FITNESS – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
NXPT, our slogan is so corny, no excuses, and stronger together. But nothing could encapsulate us any better. When we are united as a gym, as a community we have done amazing things. We are known for our ability to get people ready for everything from an Ironman, to an OCR race, to a 100 mile race. We pride ourselves in claiming what we do is so much more than fitness, every time you walk in the doors, we want it to be an experience that speaks to you throughout your whole day! NXPT is going on our 11th year this year, we have two locations, and I co-own it with Dan Hark. What I am proud of is our diversity, there is no other gym like it, every walk of life, every ideal, all passions are represented in our walls.
So, what’s next? Any big plans?
We want one more location, NXPT north!!! It’s coming soon… we are an army and soon we will spread this lifestyle to north county!
