Mike Connelly might be the kindest scary man you’ll ever meet. He served in the United States Marine Corps from 1997–2001. Though his service never saw live combat, he provided security for weapons and prisoner transports and was an instructor of marksmanship.
Besides his military career, he has spent his entire life in Chicago.
Through his years as a resident, he developed deep roots to his city which spread into the motto of the business he co-founded, Rebell Strength and Conditioning.
The true-hearted strength gym promotes the altruism: Strength – Community – Education, raising over $45,000 for various causes in the little over three years they’ve been open.
Never forgetting his brothers in arms, his personal passion projects tend to involve supporting military veterans and their families.
Here is what the Marine Corps does and does well when it comes to physical training, and also what we can do to thank them for their heroic efforts.
