But Tracey-ann says her biggest achievements and motivation is her 2 sons and 3 grandchildren (3 grandchildren and counting, she wants more lol). And did you know Tracey-ann was a single mom.
The Vision Yorkys Gym came from Tracey-ann 's Dream to one day to own a gym, where everyone was welcome, and not just those who lift weights. Having coming from a Kickboxing background also. She truly believe you could have one place for so many things. She wanted to create something special and unique.
At age 9 or 10, Tracey-ann was told she could not train in a gym, not because of her age, but because the gym was for men with big muscles. Tracey-ann remembers looking at the man, then at her aunt, laughed and pointed out her aunt had bigger muscle than you him.
It's fair to say Tracey-ann's vision, that dream has become a reality.
