HALL OF FAME

Come train where the pros train.

The Takedown Gym Hall of Fame honors the athletes who put in the work here and took it all the way to the collegiate and professional level.

These individuals trained on the same floors, used the same equipment, and pushed through the same grind as the athletes walking through our doors today.

Their success is proof that big goals can start right here at Takedown Gym in Brainerd, Minnesota.
