Description

Brothers, William and Norman founded Powerhouse Gym in 1975 in Highland Park, Michigan. Powerhouse Gym quickly became known as the place to train for professional athletes such as Tommy “Hitman” Hearns, Hector, Samir Bannout, Tom Platz and countless others.

Due to the overwhelming success of its original facilities and the demand that they created for additional out-of-state locations, a Licensing Division was formed in 1984. Through the years, powerhouse Gym has grown from a single inner city gym into one of the largest health club organizations with over 300 licenses worldwide. Today, as stated in the recent report published by the health and fitness advocacy organization IHRSA, the Powerhouse Gym Trademark and Service Marks are amongst the most recognized brands in the health and fitness industry.

Today, Powerhouse Gyms International is in the midst of tremendous growth and expansion. One reason for this surge in membership and facilities has been Powerhouse Gym's ability to not only accommodate the serious cliental, but to also attract the active participation of more mainstream consumers and fitness enthusiast by providing excellent fitness facilities and state-of-the-art equipment and service. The large muscular logo is a sign of credibility across the country and is a testament of where this company began. The Powerhouse Gym Trademark is associated with service and quality, and is apparent throughout each and every Powerhouse Gym that opens its doors to over 1.2 million dedicated fitness enthusiasts.

An important component of this new growth is attributed to the energy of Henry Dabish, CEO in association with Jim Pullman, Director of Licensing all tied in with the experience of Will, Norm and Krystal Dabish. Thirty-five years after the company was founded, Powerhouse Gyms International is comprised of over 300 Licensee’s in 39 states and 15 countries. In North America, Powerhouse continues to grow steadily with its well established roots in the fitness industry. The largest clusters of growth and development lately have occurred overseas, making Powerhouse Gym a true international Powerhouse.
