History
Powerhouse Gym was founded in 1975 by the brothers William and Norman Dabish in Highland Park, Michigan. The gym started out as a facility for people in the neighborhood to exercise and soon became a place for professional athletes to train. Some of the athletes who trained were professional boxer Tommy "Hitman" Hearns, Samir Baounout, Tom Platz and many others. In 1984 Powerhouse Gym began a licensing division which enabled them to grow from a small inner city gym to the much larger organization it is today. Over the years Powerhouse Gym has accumulated over 300 licensee's and is located in 39 states and 15 countries.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Hence poetry is something more philosophic and of graver import than history, since its statements are rather of the nature of universals, whereas those of history are singulars.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
“In history as in human life, regret does not bring back a lost moment and a thousand years will not recover something lost in a single hour.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“A poet’s object is not to tell what actually happened but what could or would happen either probably or inevitably.... For this reason poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
