Meet Derrick Partman, Personal trainer, motivational speaker and business owner of RISE FIT. Check out his full interview below and let us know your thoughts on Instagram.
Where are you from? Rock Island, IL. Currently living in Fairfield, Ohio.
What was life like growing up? We had a pretty good family foundation growing up. Both sides of my family were loving and supportive.
What inspired you to start your business? My grandfather set the blueprint for myself and I took it to the next level.
How did you get your name? Long hours in my apartment trying to come up with a name. And RISE FIT (Resistance, Intensity, Strength, Endurance ) finally came alive.
Who is your biggest inspiration? My Mom and Uncle Dee both pour everything into how I became the person I am today.
What has been the most difficult part of developing your business? Just understanding the business and finding the right trainers because you can’t trust everyone. This was an important part of developing my business.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Continuing building my faith with GOD and married with two more children. I would ideally like to travel with my training service and help more student-athletes become successful in life.
If you could collaborate with a celebrity, who would it be? Michael B Jordan
What advice would you give to young athletes that want to have a career in professional sports? Are you passionate about the sport or do you like it as a hobby? You have to put in the work to become that great athlete. It’s a 1.5% chance that kid will make it to the next level. So to be able to make it there, you need to put in 110% and dedicate yourself completely.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to start their own business? Are you ready for the early morning and late night grind? It’s not for the weak. Be ready to eliminate all distractions from your life!
