Todd Durkin MasterMind Group in San Diego
Bay Athletic Club Owner Trina Gray spent a thought-provoking weekend with a tight-knit group of fitness entrepreneurs sharing business development ideas, sweating through a Boot Camp, and bonding over their passion for fitness.
The retreat was moderated by Todd Durkin (pictured on cover). Todd was named one of America’s top personal trainers by Men’s Journal and was the 2005 ACE Personal Trainer of the Year. Todd is a strength, speed, & conditioning coach, personal trainer, motivational speaker and coach. As a former professional football quarterback, he works with dozens of elite NFL, MLB, and professional athletes— including LaDainian Tomlinson. Durkin hosted the invitation-only gathering at his state-of-the-art training facility in San Diego. MasterMind members came from all corners of the country to participate.
Trina was honored to help kick-off the retreat with a presentation entitled, “Three Steps to Discovering Your True Purpose.” The thought provoking discussion was centered on helping people find where their talents and the needs of the world collide. Research shows that purpose-driven companies – those who engage in a cause greater than earning money – secure more loyal customers and make a more profound difference in their communities.
“Immersing myself in the business, and engaging with some of the brightest entrepreneurs in the country was rejuvenating” said Trina. “I’m excited to bring renewed energy and fresh ideas back to BAC. I am reminded that our staff rivals the best in the country and our members, the most dedicated and driven.”
