FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) — Lee Brothers MMA in Fort Wayne is offering one of its fitness programs to 16 people for free, but those who want to be selected will have to find their spot.
The program, called the LBX program, aims to combine fitness and nutrition while pairing participants with a trainer who works to keep them accountable and consistent.
Lee Brothers MMA has been offering boxing, Muay Thai and Brazilian jiu-jitsu training in some capacity since 2006, but the gym started LBX in 2019 as a way to help people balance their diet with their fitness training.
“It’s really hard to out train a bad diet,” says Meesh Lee, director of operations at Lee Brothers MMA. “We weren’t doing anything about nutrition until we brought this up in 2019. The truth is when you talk about body transformation, 80 percent of it is food.”
Mike Lee, owner of Lee Brothers MMA, said that arguably the most important part of the program is having one trainer available to keep participants on track.
“I can take everything we do in the LBX program and just give it to you, but if I just give it to you, you’ll go home and you won’t appreciate it at all … but now if I give it to you. you and I send you a message and just say, ‘hey it’s noon, send me a picture of what you ate. Hey man, check your weight’ … At that point, that piece of accountability will cause you to stick with it and follow through,” Mike said.

By the time people complete the six-week challenge, Mike and Meesh hope that those people will have gained enough motivation and discipline to continue working out in the gym on their own.
“Nothing you do in life happens in six weeks at a time … at the end of that six-week journey, they understand at that time what I want to do with this way of life that I discovered that I want to continue doing this way of life. ,” said Mike.
Meesh said participants may change some of what they were doing during the challenge, but the main goal is for them to find something they enjoy so they have a better chance of sticking with it.
“I always like to tell people that the secret sauce to being in killer shape is finding a job you love that keeps you in killer shape,” Meesh said.
Although the gym currently offers the LBX program to 16 people for free, Meesh said the 16 selected will have to find their own place.
“We interview everyone, personally, before deciding whether they are a good fit for our six-week challenge,” said Meesh. “When it comes to our six-week challenge, we’re only looking for people who are trainable, who are ready to go, who aren’t like ‘hey, maybe I’ll give it a try.'”
Even after selection, participants will be tracked to ensure that they are making progress and remain committed.
If the participant completes the challenge and follows the rules, the gym will refund the full amount of the program to the person to continue exercising.
“We’d be happy to give you a six-week membership if you’re going to stay here and buy in and love what you’re doing,” said Mike. “If you’ve changed your life in six weeks, why – in six weeks – do you just stop and walk away, and we find a lot of people don’t.”

Despite the personal journey during the LBX program, Mike and Meesh hope that participants will leave happy and rewarded.
“I think what most people experience is a sense of pride and ability,” said Meesh. “I think that’s one of the biggest things we see when people join our community and one of the biggest things we like to continue to contribute.”
For those interested in learning boxing or martial arts alongside the free LBX challenge, Lee Brothers MMA offers the first session for free to allow people to experience what the gym has to offer and whether it is right for them.
