about
Jordan McCray
OWNER
Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, Jordan grew up in the Lithonia/Stone Mountain area and graduated from Miller Grove High School in Dekalb County. He went on to attend the University of Georgia, where he completed a B.B.A in Marketing and Professional Selling. The last 9 years he has lived in New York where he graduated from Long Island University earning an M.B.A and truly developed his love for fitness.
Jordan passion for fitness derives from successfully conquering his own struggle with weight fluctuation, once over 300 pounds, where he once worked out 5-6 times a week but did not see lasting results. After years of unsuccessful fad diets and 90-day fitness workout programs, Jordan finally broke through once he realized to reach his goals it took being patient enough to take it one pound at a time, having the discipline to not give up, doing workouts you do not dread, and sustaining realistic diets that included cheat meals.
Those are the principles he wants to bring to his hometown of East Atlanta through Roundhouse Kickboxing to help others who may have fell short in the past, like himself, reach their fitness goals, and see long-term change!
Mario Richards
OWNER
As an alumni of the University of Georgia, I have lived in and around Atlanta almost all of my life. I love this city and I have always wanted to give back to the place, and the people who have inspired and shaped me. For years, I struggled to reach my personal fitness goals. In trying to reach these goals, I tried everything from field sports and weight lifting, to circuit training and crossfit with little or temporary success.
So I can say firsthand that out of all of the different types of fitness programs, Kickboxing combined with Nutrition Accountability, has without a doubt proven to be the most fun, invigorating and successful training solution. We are so excited to share this transformative Roundhouse Kickboxing fitness experience with you.

TC
Coach
Hey Fit Fam! I'm TC. Aka Coach Terrio or T Sizzle (T_Willis88). Whichever you prefer and can remember lol! I'm newer to the coaching scene, but what I lack in tenure I make up for with attention to detail and an athletic background. I grew up playing several sports down in the Southern Heat and Humidity. From football, to track, to wrestling, and basketball. I'm pretty well rounded and very much a competitive, but team-oriented player.
I plan to bring a Player Coach mentality to my classes. Where I’d never ask my clients to do anything I wouldn’t do myself. Speaking of, I’m a Member of Roundhouse’s Founder’s Club, and an Original Member of the infamous 5 AM Crew!
Come work with me on reaching your fitness goals! I guarantee you’ll have fun, while jamming out, and pushing your body to limits that you didn’t know existed. I only ask for 2 things.. Energy and Effort. I’ll handle the rest. Let’s Get It!
