Aaron enjoys helping improve people’s quality of life through his storytelling and promoting a healthy lifestyle. He also loves competing in Crossfit.
Joe Mannino, a co-owner of Victory MMA, said his gym flooded 14 years ago when a drunk driver hit a fire hydrant in front of the business. He said the damage cost more than a million dollars.“It looks like we have a total rebuild. Three million plus in damage. It will shut us down six months to a year,” said Mannino.He found a new space in Clairemont in just two weeks.Mannino said he paid his staff even during the closure. Mike Lemaire is a world champion and coach.
“Overall, it made us stronger. The fire happened and then we all pulled together. It made our group a little tighter,” Lemaire said. What about their original location in the Midway that he has had for 30 years? Mannino says it is not going anywhere. He plans to rebuild it. “It becomes your life. It becomes your mission," Mannino said."Waking up in the morning and not having somewhere to go, is not a good feeling. A lot of people talk about winning the lottery and doing nothing. That is not my character."
