We had the good fortune of connecting with Charles & Stevie Day and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Charles & Stevie, what matters most to you?
Compassion, Integrity and service to our community is what matters most to us. We believe that everyone’s day is filled with purpose and if we can share a bit of joy, laughter and love through fitness then that is enough for us. We are a faith based community and we desire to help others see their value and impact in this world. We coach with purpose and intention, we wanted to give our community an opportunity to workout, train to compete or just to get healthy physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Compassion and Integrity go hand in hand, do the right thing even when others aren’t watching. For us that means follow the workout, give 100%, help others when you see they need encouragement. Be compassionate and remember everyone has a bad day from time to time, its our responsibility to lift each other up.

Service to our community- provide opportunities we didn’t have when we were growing up. If we know someone has the heart or desire to learn how to box or even to compete in boxing and maybe the funds aren’t all there, let’s work together to help your dreams and passion have a chance at coming to fruition. We also serve our community each year through Children’s Heart Foundation – Aubren’s Army, bringing awareness and raising funds for the CHF Texas.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Our Heavenly Father and all the mentors he has placed along our path. Over 10 years ago one of the greatest Pastors (I (Stevie) have studied is Steven Furtick, he wrote Sun Stand Still. His message/story on audacious faith and what God can do with your passion is what kept us focused and motivated on pressing forward. Of course along the way we had many mentors in our life through work and friendships.

When we first started on our journey training clients in our 2 car garage was the greatest motivation, our founding members not only trusted us on their fitness & wellness journey but they encouraged us, prayed for us and celebrated the small victories along the way making it easier for us to push through.

The support of our ladies at WINGS Ministries is also a contributor to our success, Irma, Juni, Katie, they are all our prayer warriors. Most importantly our sons Jalyn, Zatavian & Rashawn have not only been supportive during this journey which has taken a lot of our time and attention but they believed in all that we do and have done through this ministry we call Havens Fitness & Boxing.
