We made it past the five-year cliff.
There were moments we didn’t know if we’d make it. Moments we questioned everything. Times when the bills piled up, the stress was heavy, and staying afloat felt impossible. Truthfully, some days it still does.
But through every setback, our family chose to keep showing up.
We chose to believe in this dream, not just for ourselves, but for our community. For the kids who need a safe place. For the families who need support. For the people of Wyandotte County who believed in us long before we had 20,000 square feet to call home.
This grand opening isn’t just about a building. It’s about resilience. Sacrifice. Faith. Late nights. Early mornings. It’s about refusing to give up when giving up would’ve been easier.
To everyone who has supported us, encouraged us, trained with us, donated, volunteered, shared our posts, prayed for us, and walked this journey beside us..thank you. We carry so much gratitude in our hearts.
We’re proud of how far we’ve come, but even more proud of why we started.
Here’s to continuing to fight for our dreams and doing everything we can to serve the Wyandotte community we love so much.
With grateful hearts,
The Full Throttle Family ❤️

Non-Profit organization driven to help our youth to succeed! We also run Full Throttle Fitness, LLC!
This page contains content for both Full Throttle Fitness, LLC and Full Throttle Foundation.
Every young person deserves a place where they can grow, be encouraged, and reach their full potential.
At Full Throttle Foundation, our mission is to serve underserved and at-risk youth in Wyandotte County through fitness, boxing, mentorship, and meaningful group discussions.
We believe that when young people are surrounded by positive influences, structure, accountability, and support, incredible things can happen. Confidence grows. Goals become clearer. Leaders begin to emerge.
Our program is about more than exercise. It’s about building character, creating connections, and helping youth develop the tools they need to succeed both inside and outside the gym.
Every workout is a lesson in discipline. Every conversation is an opportunity for growth. Every young person who walks through our doors is a reminder of why this work matters.
Together, we’re investing in the future of our community..one child, one family, and one success story at a time. ❤️🥊
We are simply just proud that we can provide this.

SUMMER BREAK A SWEAT IS BACK FOR ITS 3RD YEAR🔥
This summer, we’re not just keeping kids busy…
we’re building discipline, confidence, and future leaders.
The Full Throttle Foundation is proud to bring back our FREE youth program for ages 12–18 in Wyandotte County, designed to get our kids off the streets and into something meaningful.
Too many youth today lack structure, guidance, and positive outlets. That’s where we step in.
💥 Through boxing fundamentals, strength & conditioning, and mentorship, we create a safe space where youth can:
• Learn discipline and accountability
• Build confidence and self-worth
• Develop mental toughness and resilience
• Stay active, focused, and off the streets
• Be surrounded by positive role models and a strong community
This isn’t just a workout…
This is life skills training through movement.
-June 2nd – July 30th, 2026
-Tuesdays & Thursdays | 3:00–4:30 PM
-Saturdays | 9:30 AM (optional)
-1270 Merriam Lane, Kansas City, KS
💯 Completely FREE
👊 Ages 12–18
⚠️ IMPORTANT: This is a structured program with attendance expectations.
We are committed to every youth in this program, and we ask for that same commitment in return. If you’re unable to attend consistently or complete the full program, please consider saving the spot for a youth who can fully participate.
We believe every kid deserves a chance- regardless of their background.
We’re here to educate, inspire, and protect through consistency, structure, and real mentorship.
🗣️ Spots will fill. Don’t wait.
