TL;DR
The Camp Transformation Center in Covina is under new ownership by the Destinés, who have remodeled the facility and retained the existing staff. The new co-owners, Jared and Carlo Destiné, are excited to bring their passion for fitness and community to the business.
The Destinés are especially proud to retain the dedicated staff that members have come to know and trust. Director and trainer Chris Calles will continue to play pivotal role in the gym's daily operations and member experience.
“We are so excited to reintroduce the Covina community to The Camp. Members will be welcomed back to a rejuvenated and vibrant environment. While the facility will seem new, the familiar sense of community that makes The Camp so great remains,” says Jared Destiné, co-owner of The Camp Covina.
The Camp Transformation Center is known for its enthusiastic staff members, a clean environment, an open, spacious, and colorful design, supplement plans, and fitness training that is motivating and affordable.
The journey to ownership began when Jared, inspired by his own transformative experience with The Camp, introduced the idea to his father. After participating in and conquering The Camp's signature 42-day challenge, Jared's passion for fitness and the community-centric model of The Camp became evident. Witnessing his son's transformation, both physically and mentally, Carlo Destiné saw an opportunity for them to embark on a business venture together.
“After seeing the incredible change in Jared, not just in his physique but in his confidence and drive, I knew we had a unique chance to combine our strengths and passions,” says Carlo Destiné, co-owner of The Camp Covina. “The Camp isn't just about fitness; it's about transformation in every sense, and I wanted us to be a part of that journey for others."
Jared leaves the corporate world behind and looks forward to helping others achieve their fitness goals. He is equally excited about working alongside his father. "My dad has qualities I've always admired. Being able to connect with anyone and everyone is something I've seen him do effortlessly. I believe we'll make a great team, blending the wisdom of experience with the energy of the new generation."
Jared, who has a background in property management and commercial real estate, says the transition into ownership was smooth.
“We are so thankful for the incredible support and guidance we've received from The Camp's corporate team. The onboarding process has been exceptional. As we start this new chapter with the franchise, it feels great knowing they've got our backs. It just confirms we made the right call,” adds Jared.
