Our Story

At Transition City Fitness Club, we believe that movement is medicine, and community is the cure.

The Vision

In 2015, Dustin King experienced a powerful vision — a transformative wellness center that would help heal millions. A place where movement, community, and purpose would come together to create real, lasting change. That vision had a name: Transition City.

Five years later after years of wondering how to move towards that dream Dustin took the first big step by founding the Transition City Fitness Club. It was time to begin building the dream and to find the team of coaches, leaders, and changemakers who would help bring this beacon of hope to life.

Where it Began

Late in 2020, Dustin faced one of the darkest seasons of his life. Within just a few months, he lost his job, his father, and his dog — the weight of grief, uncertainty, and loneliness pressing heavily on him. For weeks, thoughts of suicide clouded his mind, and a deep sense of hopelessness took hold.

Everywhere he looked, people were wearing masks — but no one could hide the pain in their eyes. Without the façade of a fake smile, it became easier to see the sadness, the fear, and the disconnection that so many were carrying. Dustin knew the pain he was feeling was immense — but as he looked around, he realized he wasn’t alone.

Over the past decade Dustin had last over 10 people he knew to suicide and continues to see this trend today. Overwhelmed by all he and others had lost he knew it was time to take action. He couldn't let this suffering — his or anyone else’s — be the end of the story. In that moment, something shifted.

He realized that true health isn’t just about getting bigger, faster, or stronger. It’s about healing — physically, mentally, and emotionally. It’s about connection to others. It’s about giving people hope of what's possible. And it was from this realization that a new mission was born.

At Transition City Fitness Club, we believe that fitness is more than physical. It’s a pathway to find deep healing — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

Our vision is to create spaces where people don't just "work out" — they rebuild themselves. Where every class, every session, every conversation strengthens not just the body, but the heart and mind as well.

We see a future where fitness helps people find connection, purpose, and resilience in every season of life.

Our greater mission — Transition City — is to build a world-renowned wellness center: a thriving community hub where people of all ages and backgrounds can come to heal, grow, and rediscover their strength.

A place where movement meets mindfulness. Where athletic development meets emotional support. Where people don't just survive hard times — they rise above them.

We want to empower millions of people to transition into the strongest, healthiest, most connected version of themselves.
