SPEAKER / GYM OWNER / COACH
I'm CJ Wehrkamp. I help people believe they matter, then build the habits to prove it. On stage, in the gym, and everywhere in between.

MY STORY
I WASN'T THE ATHLETIC KID.
I was the kid hoping not to get picked last. The one who wouldn't take his shirt off at the pool. I hid it by being loud and funny, because if I could make people laugh, maybe I still had value.
Then a friend invited me to work out with him every morning. For the first time I saw what fitness could do on the inside: confidence, belief, self-worth. One day a man in the locker room who had watched me train for a year walked up and said, "I'm proud of you. Keep going." I never forgot it.
At 25 I had a choice. Take a job with a guaranteed income, or bet on myself. I didn't want a guaranteed income. I wanted a guaranteed impact. In May 2015 my family helped me paint the walls of a small gym in Sioux Falls every night until it opened. We had 15 members that first month. Today it's two locations and more than 650 members, and the message at the door hasn't changed: You matter. You belong here.
I believe God created every one of us on purpose, for a purpose. My job is to help you believe it too.
SPEAKING
REAL STORIES.
STRAIGHT TALK.
A PLAN YOU CAN USE MONDAY.
I've spoken to gym owners from across the country, I host a podcast, and I coach my own team every week. Every talk is built from my own wins, losses and lessons from 11 years of building a business and a team. You'll laugh, you'll get real, and you'll leave with something to do next.
