BUILDING SUCCESS – WORKOUT ANYTIME
Success is often seen as the achievement of goals, the realization of dreams, or the fulfillment of one’s potential. While it can take many forms—ranging from career accomplishments and academic achievements to personal growth and meaningful relationships—true success is deeply personal and unique to each individual. It is not merely about wealth or status, but about finding purpose, overcoming challenges, and continuing to grow. Ultimately, success is a journey shaped by determination, resilience, and a clear sense of direction.
In 2019, Jason and Melissa Lobaugh made a bold move by taking over ownership of a Workout Anytime gym in Beaverton, Oregon. With no background in business—Jason having served over 20 years in law enforcement and Melissa working as a dental assistant—they stepped into entrepreneurship of the gym with hope and determination. Just two months later, the COVID-19 pandemic hit, forcing shutdowns and threatening the survival of their newly acquired gym.
The couple faced a steep learning curve, quickly adapting to new regulations, managing payroll for the first time, and developing systems to safely operate under state-mandated restrictions. Despite losing a third of their members, the Lobaughs were able to keep the business afloat through faith, hard work, and the support of loyal members who continued to pay, even when services were limited. Commitment is the 1st step to building success.
After navigating those early hardships, the gym began to thrive. However, Oregon’s high minimum wage, costly leases, and complex regulations made future growth difficult. Looking for a more business-friendly environment and to be closer to family, the Lobaughs relocated to Tucson, Arizona, where they opened their second Workout Anytime location on East Tanque Verde Road.
With help from a family partner, they invested $1.2 million into remodeling and outfitting the new gym, which offers state-of-the-art amenities including cold plunge tubs, red light therapy, tanning, and personal training. The location—next to a busy Safeway—was chosen for its visibility and accessibility, aligning with the franchise’s philosophy of simple, high-value fitness.
The Tucson gym serves a wide range of members, from seniors to competitive athletes, and reflects the couple’s commitment to community and inclusion. Now settled in Arizona, the Lobaughs are planning a third location, set to open later this year. While the upbringing was a struggle at the end of the day the owners are building their success. Their journey is a testament to resilience, faith, and the power of perseverance.
