And not just in a physical sense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFitness has been very important to me, especially over the last 10 years of my life,\u201d McGraw told the crowd at the Friday (Jan. 18) opening. \u201cI\u2019ve always been an athlete, I\u2019ve always worked out, and I\u2019ve always tried to keep myself in some sort of shape. But over the last 10 years, it\u2019s really been a life-changing experience for me. It\u2019s improved everything in my life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCertainly it\u2019s improved my physical condition. But it\u2019s improved, I\u2019d say, 85 percent of my mental condition. There\u2019s the other 15 percent that shows up every now and then that I try to fight off,\u201d he joked, adding that since he became so dedicated, he has seen improvements in his relationships with friends and family, along with his relationship to his music and his career. \u201cWithout my commitment to fitness over the last 10 years, things would\u2019ve turned out quite differently.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When a reporter asked McGraw what it was ten years ago that changed \u2014 what kind of flipped the switch on his dumaflache \u2014 he said it was seeing himself in the trailer for a 2008 movie.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTen years ago was when I really was not taking care of myself as well as I should. And my lifestyle wasn\u2019t as good: up until 3 o\u2019clock in the morning, having that extra beer with the band, eating cheeseburgers late, and not hitting the gym in the morning. It was just getting out of control. And I\u2019ll tell you what one of the big keys that turn my life around was. My kids were younger, and we were at the theater, and all the sudden the trailer for <em>Four Christmases<\/em> (he played Dallas McVie) popped up, and my face popped up on the screen. And my oldest daughter said, \u2019Geez, Dad. You really need to do something.\u2019 And the next day,\u201d he said, \u201cI was in the gym.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The club is something McGraw said has been a dream of his for years. He partnered with fitness industry leader, Snap Fitness, to develop the franchise, with the flagship club in Nashville\u2019s Gulch neighborhood. That first location is owned and operated by fitness entrepreneur Wirth Campbell.<\/p>\n<p>And if not a fitness club, would McGraw have followed in other country artists\u2019 footsteps and opened a superfluous Nashville honky-tonk? Unlikely.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho knows, one of these days maybe I\u2019ll do something like that. But I wanted to find something that really sort of took what we did on the road and how we worked out on the road \u2014 the circuit training and the principles we have preparing ourselves for the show \u2014 we wanted to carry that into what we are doing in a gym.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose honky-tonks are fine and good and great, but it just didn\u2019t seem true to who we were on the road.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McGraw\u2019s next show is on Feb. 1 in Atlantic City.<\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n<div class=\"description\">Alison makes her living loving country music.
