A peek into our creative nest located
|
The name Dark Horse Sports was inspired by our founder Coach Nino. Since his mother worked with racehorses, some of his first memories are of spending countless hours watching the graceful movements of beautiful horses.
He especially appreciated their seemingly perfect muscle development when galloping at full speed. Horses have always held a special fascination for humans since they were created as nature’s perfect combination of aesthetic beauty, and athletic performance. Other admirable qualities include, intelligence, work ethic, and loyal temperament. From warfare to high fashion horses have always been an iconic symbol of what we admire and strive to be. Coach Nino and Coach JT continue to integrate these qualities into their passion to provide the best and most effective fitness programs for your personal lifestyle and goals. |
