Join us on October 9, 2024 to hear from Matt Baumann and Matt Ball, owners of 24 Elite Gym, about their entrepreneurial journey. Matt, a lifelong Carthage resident and MSSU graduate, transformed his passion for fitness into a thriving business. Having struggled with weight and fitness in his youth, Matt knows the challenges new members face and is dedicated to helping them embrace a healthier lifestyle. Mathew Ball grew up farming alongside his dad and mom in Carthage, Missouri. He planned to continue in his father’s footsteps but an injury lead to a life-changing spinal fusion surgery in 2011. Overcoming significant weight gain and depression, he joined 24 in Carthage, fell in love with the gym community, and transitioned from farming to gym ownership. Despite facing numerous competitors over the years, they have consistently earned awards for the best gym in the area. They are known for offering transparent pricing, maintaining clean facilities, providing 24-hour access, and fostering a supportive environment for personal transformation. Don't miss their engaging entrepreneurial journey discussion where they'll share their story and insights into building a successful business in the fitness industry.
