Home · Our Story
Since 2019

From 1,500 sq ft to a movement.

TBC Wellness Center wasn't built by a corporation. It was built by Tiffany Faught, her family, and a community that kept showing up, one expansion, one volunteer night, one member at a time.

Tiffany grew up in Charlevoix, earned her Bachelor of Science in Nutrition from Central Michigan University, and has spent over 18 years teaching physical fitness. She started with a single boot-camp class, and a vision for what fitness in Northern Michigan could be.

In 2018 she broke ground in East Jordan. What opened as 1,500 square feet has grown, through three expansions and a lot of long nights, into the largest privately-owned fitness center in the region.

The journey

How TBC was built.

2018

Breaking ground

After years of teaching boot camp and personal training, Tiffany began construction on a gym of her own in East Jordan, Michigan, chasing a big dream with a small footprint.

March 2019

The doors open

TBC Wellness Center opens with 1,500 square feet of gym space, a ribbon-cutting with the Chamber of Commerce, and a single mission: strengthen the community through fitness.

2019 - 2022

The community shows up

Word spread fast once TBC hit the map. Members joined, friendships formed, and the gym outgrew its walls, again and again. Every dime earned went straight back into the facility.

July 2023

The big move, in six hours

Tens of thousands of pounds of equipment had to relocate in a single day. Boot campers and volunteers cut and laid over 4,000 sq ft of flooring, re-hung every mirror, and moved a massive crossover. What should've taken a week took under six hours.

Today

9,000+ sq ft & growing

Upgraded cardio, pin-select machines, spin bikes, a calmer room away from the heavy iron, and a team of certified staff. Still family-run. Still reinvesting every dollar. Still community first.
