The Wellington Chamber of Commerce Welcomes
Muscle Works Supplements as a New Member
By Monica Kallas, SharpShooter Marketing
The Wellington Chamber of Commerce recently had a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for Muscle Works Supplements located at 10220 Forest Hill Boulevard Suite 130, Wellington, Florida. The store is owned and operated by a father and son who are passionate about fitness and health. Both have a wealth of knowledge and experience in supplementation that enhances people’s health in general plus provides peak performance for athletes.
Ken Muller and his son Troy are the owners of Muscle Works Supplements. Ken was born and raised in Stamford, Connecticut. After he graduated high school he went to the University of Connecticut for two years and studied business. He then attended the University of South Florida in Tampa for two years where he earned his degree in Business Administration with a Major in Finance. After a brief stint at Louisiana State University Ken came back to Florida and began brokering and developing real estate in Boca Raton.
Real estate and some other businesses kept Ken busy for about 18 years. Then last year, he began looking into an alternate business to get into that he and his son could work together. Ken stated that the whole family has always had an interest in fitness and competitive sports so Muscle Works Supplements was a perfect fit as a new business. The doors opened the first week of January.
“Having played baseball, ran track in high school and then ultimately played baseball in college, I’d always been interested in fitness.” Ken said. “At that time, Arnold Schwarzenegger was a young pup and he was winning the Olympics and drawing a lot of attention to himself and I started looking at supplementation back then. In the late 70’s, there really wasn’t much of anything going on in the world of supplementation. It was all very basic vitamins. For protein you would eat a lot of eggs, a lot of steak and that sort of thing. I was big into drinking egg yolks and that sort of stuff which is extremely nasty and dangerous. But at the time, that was the only option.”
As life evolved for Ken, his entire family grew into the fitness lifestyle and his kids started playing sports. His kids began to do preparation weight training for competition and started using supplements. As a concerned dad, Ken wanted to know more about the supplements the kids were taking. He began to look more closely at the ingredients and research what they were. Troy added that he also began doing research since he was an athlete and was consuming these products.
When explaining his business, Ken stated, “We offer sports related nutrition and supplementation but it’s not just for athletes and sports. A lot of the things that we carry here is geared towards young athletes, professional athletes in order to help them be as healthy as possible and maintain their performance. But we also have a lot of mainstream products that are for anybody who wants to get healthy whether it be losing weight, getting stronger at the gym or rehabbing from injury. Between my expertise and my son’s expertise, we can offer a lot of common sense advice as to what might work for somebody and what direction they might go in.”
Ken noted he didn’t just play sports throughout his life. He has been a high school coach for a number of years here in South Florida coaching varsity and junior varsity baseball. “I’ve got the experience not only as a parent but as a player and as a coach dealing with young players and making sure they are doing things the right way health wise as far as their work-outs and their supplementation.”
Regarding prices, “We always do our best to make sure that our pricing is below the national names you would recognize out there or the national retailers that provide these supplements. We try to carry a full line of sports and fitness supplements at the very best prices we possibly can.”
