Inspiring Conversations with Ray Carr of Elevate Fitness Orange Park

Today we’d like to introduce you to Ray Carr.

Hi Ray, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I don’t know if there’s a brief story but I’ll cut it short. Through the toughest times in my life, exercise has always been something that made me feel good and better about myself 100% of the time. It was a part of my everyday life as a means to help me grow and build character. As I got older I realized how important that is for all adults and I wanted to help my community by offering a place that loves, pushes, and strives to make a difference in their lives.

So I went from full time corporate America to partial owner, to Elevate Fitness Orange Park.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely has not been a smooth road. We’ve looked demise in the face and remained strong. Even starting the business was tough because we had no idea where we would get the money but by faith…

COVID was a trying time. We had no idea what to do or expect but we knew who we were and the goal. To help. So we did that, virtually, and we made it through.

Even staying afloat the first year was a struggle.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
We are a small family business that specializes in health and wellness.
Many do not realize the importance of a gym that helps push the mind-body connection and being around community. We offer a place to grow. To grow in confidence, health, mental and physical toughness.
Elevate Fitness wants Orange Park to be who they are called to be and no one is just a number. Everyone matters.

What matters most to you? Why?
Other than my family and my faith, my health.
It’s the foundation to life.
If we are not healthy, or even unaware of illness, we are mentally and physically not living up to who we can be.

So I strive to be a HEALTHIER version of myself.
I must also empathize the “healthier” because it is a daily practice and somedays we may not he as healthy as we should be, or can be, so it takes work, daily.
