My name is Dre Miley I’ve been with KMAA for 13 years. Before I joined KMAA I was going a dark time in my life. I lost my left eye in a car wreck and completely gave up on everything. Thanks to KMAA my life has significantly improved in all aspects of life. KMAA isn’t just a gym it’s a community that empowers those who lost their voice/self esteem to find it again. KMAA also gives kids within the south Knox community a place to learn life skills and learn more about themselves than traditional sports. Without KMAA there would be countless amount of people that would be lost.

Eric and Taylor Turner are wonderful people who have contributed positively to the community for years!
Please consider what rezoning this area will do for the lives of those who attend KMAA.
Personally, KMAA serves me for my mental health. Battling major depression disorder for a decade now, KMAA provides classes that help correct my chemical imbalances through physical activity. As well as, knowing I have a positive support system of individuals that I can count on there.
The owners and employees there, truly and genuinely care about every person who steps through their doors.
They also have a charity for those in the community who can’t afford to take classes, to make sure they have an opportunity to do so!
I am in favor of the rezoning because I believe this will be a beautiful addition to the area. Considering also that the hours that the gym are open are with the working class (9-5) in mind and therefore do not interfere with the "normal" high traffic times, which in turn, does not congest the roads of the area.
