Jesse Leyva joins Jimmy and Chance to share his story.
Jesse James Leyva: Founder of Outlaw FitCamp Franchise
Jesse James Leyva is an inspiring leader and founder of Outlaw FitCamp, a premier boutique fitness franchise. Raised by a single mother in a low-income area of Los Angeles, he faced the harsh realities of poverty amid the powerful influences of gangs and drugs. These challenges led him to drop out of high school and confront personal battles with addiction in his mid 20’s, but they also ignited a remarkable journey of transformation.
Relocating to Texas in the early 90s, Jesse discovered bodybuilding, which instilled the discipline and dedication that would shape his future. Despite setbacks, including the closure of his first gym and a period of homelessness, he rose from adversity to create a thriving health and wellness franchise. Jesse’s journey proves that anything is possible with passion and discipline.
Through Outlaw FitCamp, Jesse has helped thousands improve their health, lifestyle, and mindset. With franchise locations throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area and plans for national expansion, he invites passionate individuals to join him in making a difference in their communities through fitness.
