It Takes a Village

I would like to honor and thank my many loving close friends; my devoted wrestling, football and life coaches; my inspirational brothers and sister; and my two incredible children, Annabella and Troy, who have been instrumental and encouraging in all phases of the club’s design and marketing, from weight equipment selection to the kid’s Splash Park, and the two-story play structure. They have been patient and understanding with my obsessively long work hours.

I am humbled and thankful for the enduring support of all the In Motion members, the Chico community, and for being voted the best gym in Chico for 29 years in a row. Thank you to the general contractors, Modern Building and Ginno Construction, and the hundreds of subcontractors, service providers, and artisans who have built In Motion. It takes a village to build a six-acre Mediterranean fitness resort.

I have massive gratitude for everyone at Team InMo—their dedication, care, and professionalism are unsurpassed. Every day, it feels like we’re living a dream! I want to give a special shout out to our queen bee, Marie Phillips— she is the heartbeat and the driving force of our InMo family.

I wanted to make one final note of thanks to our business professionals who have always felt like brothers—Tim Skaggs, John Schwarz, Matt Galloway, Mark Francis, and the Hignell Family. They are the pillars behind all that is In Motion.

With much love and my undying gratitude,

Carl Sommer
