They Kicked Tail for Our Nation

Now I Love Kickboxing Kicks Tail for Them

In just 46 short days after listing, I Love Kickboxing had found its new grateful owners. Meet Ryan, Keith and Kodey, three entrepreneurs brought together by their love for business and kickboxing.

Ryan came from a small copper mining town in SouthEastern Arizona. After graduating, he entered the Air Force and was stationed at Offutt AFB. He went on to earn a position as VP of Operations for a hotel ownership group where he manages multimillion dollar hotels

Keith grew up in Minden, Nebraska. He graduated from UNK, making his way to Omaha in 2012. Keith spent 6 years in the hotel business where he met Ryan, forming a partnership in 2013 with Mission Foods Route.

Kodey grew up in Atkinson, Nebraska later joining the Army Reserves serving a tour in Iraq. He was awarded the Purple Heart for surviving a roadside bombing. After graduating from UNK he moved to Omaha in 2013 taking a position as Implementation Specialist with an insurance group in Lincoln.

In May, Ryan, Kodey and Keith decided to partner up and purchased I Love Kickboxing through The Firm. They were excited to buy a business they could grow together and one they could help their clients reach health and fitness goals in. Today the gym is doing very well with more energy, a great staff and loyal membership. They spend their free time growing the business by hosting open houses, giving members incentives, embracing social media marketing and even joining in partnership with a nutritional store. Since taking ownership in May, they have brought on over 100 new members and look to bring in 200 more in the coming months.
