About Us

KC MITCHELL OTHERWISE KNOWN AS "THAT 1 LEG MONSTER", STARTED OFF HIS FITNESS JOURNEY FROM AN EARLY AGE. HE TURNED TO COMPETITIVE SPORTS INCLUDING WRESTLING, CAGE FIGHTING AND AMERICAN FOOTBALL TO EMBRACE HIS ATHLETIC LIFESTYLE. BUT LATER IN HIS LIFE, THINGS TOOK A TURN FOR THE WORSE.

WHILE ON DUTY IN THE US ARMY IN 2010, KC SUSTAINED LIFE-CHANGING INJURIES THAT MEANT HIS LEFT LEG HAD TO BE AMPUTATED. THIS HAD A DEVASTATING IMPACT ON KC – WHO HAD TO DEAL WITH DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY, WHERE HE TURNED TO A LIFE OF ALCOHOL AND DRUGS IN ORDER TO COPE.

HOWEVER, KC WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO OVERCOME HIS DARKEST DAYS THROUGH SHEER HARD WORK AND DETERMINATION. HE REDISCOVERED HIS LOVE FOR FITNESS, EVENTUALLY BECOMING A SUCCESS ON THE POWERLIFTING STAGE.
