Why You’re Not There Yet – Nik Solomos Tells It Straight
by Sherien Wissa
It’s easy to see the gyms, the brand, the success—but what you don’t see is the man who was homeless at 19, raised in survival mode, and fought through rejection, trauma, and heartbreak to build a fitness empire. In this episode of Tabooze, Sherien sat down with Nik Solomos, founder of Derrimut 24:7 Gyms, Australia’s largest gym empire, for a raw and unfiltered conversation about what it really takes to build something from nothing. We talk about why most people never reach their goals, how he fought to stay in his son’s life, and the mindset that carried him through it all. This isn’t a highlight reel—it’s the behind-the-scenes truth. No excuses. No fluff. Just a powerful reminder that getting there has nothing to do with luck—and everything to do with how hard you’re willing to fight for it.
