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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
As a 2026 Red Hot Best winner, we remain committed to delivering health solutions that fuse traditional training with modern science, to strengthen people from all walks of life.
We want people to live well — stay strong, recover when they need to, and belong to a gym that actually feels like home.
"You have to do big things… to get your big dreams."
TBC opened in March 2019 in East Jordan, Michigan, starting with 1,500 square feet and growing through community support and reinvestment.
TBC was founded by Tiffany Faught, a Charlevoix native with a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and more than 18 years of fitness experience.
Through three expansions, volunteer work nights, and reinvesting every dollar earned back into the facility, including a major move completed in under six hours in July 2023.
