Hidden Gems: Meet Clarence Gleton of Kratos Fit Gym

Today we’d like to introduce you to Clarence Gleton

Hi Clarence, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
My partner Ashlee and I started doing outdoor fitness boot camp at Southfield Lathrup high school in the summer until the construction of my first location started at the beginning of Covid. The day that the state opened everything up was the first day we opened, finishing construction a day prior. We stayed at our first location in Detroit on Grand River and Greenfield next to 7 Days West for about a year before moving to our current bigger location on Telegraph and Chicago 2 years ago.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
No. I bootstrapped everything without taking out a loan. I worked doubles as a police officer in Detroit for almost a year to pay for the construction and equipment for our first location.

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Kratos Fit Gym?
Kratos Fit Gym is a gym where people of all fitness levels can come and enjoy a good workout. Our members lose up to 20lbs within the first month just by following our easy 3 step system. 1-Drinking at least 2 liters of water a day
2-cut back on eating 2 things that’s bad for your diet and 3- commit to coming at least 3 times a week. People love our fun, family like atmosphere which keeps them coming back.

Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
Find someone that’s really crushing it in your field and research them before approaching them. By knowing a persons history, it’s easier to find something to relate to when you finally do approach them. Plus knowing a persons history (how they got to where they are) makes you stand out more.
