TIM WESLEY - GENERAL MANAGER Tim has been affiliated with the Health and Fitness industry for over 20 years. He started at age 16 with, “the morning shift,” opening a gym and teaching a circuit class at a local health club in Ventura County where he grew up. From there he moved to Northern California where he managed 2 different 60,000 sq ft. facilities. After managing clubs for 6 plus years Tim moved into the marketing and sales aspects of health clubs and began doing sales training and pre-openings for a large health club chain in Central California. His territory ranged from Sacramento to Bakersfield with two of the main clubs being located in Modesto and Los Banos. Three years later he started his own consulting business and began traveling around the United States as contracted by different health clubs looking to recreate stagnant marketing territories and redevelop internal sales programs. While most of Tim's experience has been with large multifaceted health clubs, Tim has found great enjoyment here at LA Boxing working more directly with our members on a personal level and developing the club itself within the Fresno Community.
