the pistokache story
Our Story:
In the summer of 2011, we had this crazy idea to turn the garage at our old house into a training facility for ourselves and our friends.
We didn't know exactly what we were doing, how we would do it, and what would come out of it.
But what originally began as an idea in high school, has manifested itself into the most widely known privately owned gym in all of South Texas.
The Pistokache Gym was built by our community for our community.
THE PTF CIRCA 2011
We had virtually no equipment, one small garage, but a burning passion to build something special for our community.
THE FAMILY CIRCA 2013
slowly over the years word spread about our gym and we saved as much money as we could to purchase more equipment.
THE PISTOKACHE GYM 2018
After years of building our business out of the back of our garage, we moved into our first facility and established ourselves as the RGV’s #1 rated gym
THE NEW GYM 2023
on January 1st we officially moved into our new 9,000-square-foot facility. this is where we will call home for the next 3 years until we outgrow it!
OUR CULTURE
When you step foot into The Pistokache Gym, you're immediately captured by a painted portrait of a Native American warrior.
No, this isn't just an art piece for decorations.
This is a portrait of our grandfather who was a full-blooded Choctaw Native American.
He was a man who embodied what it meant to have an extreme work ethic, strong morals, and unwavering belief in himself.
Though he passed away before we ever had the chance to truly know him, his wisdom has passed on through generations, and his core beliefs are what we have built the entire gym around.
If you have ever wondered about the story behind our logo, that's it.
THE PISTOKACHE TRIBE
When you join The Pistokache Gym, you're joining a gym culture, unlike anything in South Texas.
This is NOT your ordinary corporate gym that is found in every city across America.
We go above and beyond.
Our gym is filled with Tribe members that share a deep, burning conviction that they firmly hold the power to transcend their current realities through extreme work ethic and unwavering faith.
Anyone who believes that solely inborn traits (social class, genetics, talent, etc.) determine success can never be a member of the Pistokache Tribe.
If you're looking for a gym with Tribe members who are obsessed with tapping into their highest potential, The Pistokache Gym is where you belong.
