Hey there! I'm Keven, the owner of the HOUSE OF GAINS.
I was born in 1977 in Detroit, Michigan, USA, and only got into sports because a teacher told me at age 16 that if I didn't, I wouldn't graduate. But once I started working out, I just couldn't stop. I was hooked.
I became a certified gym instructor in 1999 and moved to France full-time in 2015. I looked around for a gym to join but I couldn't find anywhere that had the atmosphere I wanted. All the gyms in town were too impersonal. There was no chatter, no noise, no joking around. No encouragement between members. It was like training in a library.
I wanted a gym that was like the bar in the TV series Cheers, a place "where everybody knows your name." A place where you can make new friends and where you can motivate each other, help each other through the fatigue barrier, where you can push each other's limits.
I wanted an old-school gym where you can train AND have fun.
So I started my own.
I opened the HOUSE OF GAINS in Lyon in 2016 and have been helping people build the body shape they want ever since. Over the years we've been building a H.O.G. family and have created exactly the inclusive, positive atmosphere a gym needs for people to want to spend time there. A place where you go for the muscle and stay for the fun.
The H.O.G. family always welcomes new members with big, open arms. So come along and see what we're about!
