Community Highlights: Meet Tramaine Crook of Punches n Bunches Boxing & Fitness

Today we’d like to introduce you to Tramaine Crook.

Hi Tramaine, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
As a young child, I was bullied and dealt with episodes of depression until one day, my parents took me to a boxing gym. At that boxing gym, I was taught the sweet science of boxing as well as how to take care of my body and the coaches there served as mentors to me.

At that time, I was eight years old. So as I got older and got more skillful with my boxing and training my mind and body other kids in the neighborhood and at school started coming to my backyard and partake in my training regimen. It got to the point where there were so many kids coming in and out the backyard that my parents recommended I started charging $5 per kid to come train with me. At the age of 15, when I got more serious about helping individuals with their health and fitness goals.

Throughout college, while boxing at a high level and playing college baseball I continued training my teammates as well as faculty and staff at my college. Once I retired from sports, I decided to start a fitness and wellness company that I sold in 2018 and in 2019, I started Pn’B Boxing & Fitness in Nashville Tennessee.

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
The major struggle I’ve faced was still at times having episodes of depression that at times caused me to lose the joy. In those moments I always go back to what helped pull me out of that state which is what I offer at my business which is mental health, boxing, fitness, and music.

The road to where I’m at today has not been smooth by any means. I’ve just learned to navigate the turbulent roads better in this present time.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?

So maybe we end on discussing what matters most to you and why?
People. I’ve always been really interested in people as far as the way they think, what causes people to be guarded, what causes people joy, etc. People matter to me most because I always wanted to create a safe haven for those who may not feel safe anywhere else but when they’re in my presence, they feel safe.
