Laid Off Worker Opens Dream Gym in Tustin

Posted: Updated:

Being laid off can be devastating.

One Osceola County man turned his lay off from Dean's Dairy in Evart into an opportunity to fulfill a dream.

Jason Underhill just opened Today's Fitness in Tustin three weeks ago.

Health issues about seven years ago forced Underhill to get healthier, that fitness kick inspired him to own his own gym.

He turned the extra free time and energy into a business venture that seems to be a hit as memberships pile up.

9&10's Eric Lloyd and photojournalist Jacob Johnson hit the gym today and have more details.
