Free­lance Cor­re­spon­dent

“Don’t wait un­til you have every­thing fig­ured out. Just jump off the cliff and build the plane on the way down.” These in­spir­ing words from Jonathan Dick­er­son, the CEO, founder, and head coach of the gym called New Im­age Fit­ness, per­fect­ly cap­ture the mind­set and at­ti­tude he ap­plies to his ven­ture.

At just 26 years old, Dick­er­son is al­ready liv­ing the en­tre­pre­neur­ial dream many on­ly talk about. A gym that was born not out of a need for mon­ey but from a sim­ple de­sire to have his own space to ex­er­cise. To­day, it’s one of the fastest-grow­ing pri­vate fit­ness spaces in Trinidad and To­ba­go, and the jour­ney to this mo­ment has been noth­ing short of trans­for­ma­tion­al.
