We had the good fortune of connecting with David Ray Williams and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi David Ray, maybe we can start at the very start – the idea – how did you come up with the idea for your business?
While working remotely and frequently relocating across the country, I encountered frustration in the process of locating free fitness groups in each new city. This led me to devise a solution that enables searching for such groups based on specific cities.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Despite not considering myself extraordinary, I have always prioritized gaining experiences over settling in one place or engaging in routine activities. This preference for exploration presents challenges, including the struggle to maintain consistency and the loss of friendships due to frequent relocation. However, this mindset fuels my curiosity, fosters personal growth, and expands my worldview. Though consistency requires effort and long-distance friendships demand extra commitment, I remain committed to embracing diverse experiences and cherishing the profound connections made along the way. Through this continuous pursuit, I find fulfillment, evolving as an individual, and relishing the remarkable tapestry of life.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I extend my heartfelt appreciation and give a resounding shoutout to Club Seattle Runners Division (CSRD). This remarkable group introduced me to the world of Run Clubs, showcasing the health, financial, and social benefits. Through their inclusive approach, I discovered the joy of running with others, experienced financial savings by participating in their free activities, and formed meaningful friendships within the running community. CSRD’s dedication has empowered countless individuals, including myself, to embrace an active lifestyle and unlock our true potential. They will forever hold a special place in my heart as a beacon of inspiration and the transformative power of free fitness communities.
