Meet Ramese Marcel Long: Owner of Leg Daze Fitness Studio

We had the good fortune of connecting with Ramese Marcel Long and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ramese, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I decided to not focus solely on money as the reason to open my gym, I chose to focus on creating a workout where if people simply showed up consistently, they would get a positive result.

I was meticulous when it came to purchasing equipment. I wanted equipment that professional athletes used on a regular basis, as well as equipment that very few gyms had…if at all.

My thought process was simple…if it works for professional athletes, I can only imagine what it would do for the every day person!

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I knew before I opened my gym that I was getting into an extremely crowded field, from the independent studios like Leg Daze to the big box gyms with unlimited budgets. I knew I had to create something that was missing in the marketplace and that was a gym that did a full body workout with a heavy emphasis on leg work.

Not only are legs and butt “trendy” these days via social media, I wanted to increase the chances of anyone walking through my door and getting a positive result regardless of their fitness level.

Here’s the simple non-secret secret sauce…in order to lose body fat you must increase your metabolism. There are several ways to do that, but the simplest way to do that is strength & conditioning training. Doing this type of training increases your muscle and the more muscle you have on your body, this increases your metabolism which increases the amount of calories your body burns working out and while resting. With those facts, my thought process was simple…”why not focus on the largest muscle group in the body?” your legs, because that would almost guarantee an increase in your metabolic rate, therefore, increasing the chances of everyone that walks into Leg Daze of changing their body!
