In 2024, I was diagnosed with heart failure, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and kidney damage. I thought my life was over.

Through diet and exercise, I reversed my type 2 diabetes, brought my cholesterol, blood pressure, and kidney levels back to healthy ranges, and have been in remission from heart failure for nearly three years.

Phat Boys Run Club was born from that journey. We're a safe space for people who want to move their bodies without the pressure of a typical gym environment — no judgment, no ego, just people showing up for themselves.

I figured if we have to workout… best to look good while you do it!

Come run with us. We meet at Suffolk Punch Brewing in SouthEnd Charlotte every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 7pm.
