Help Build World-Class Gym in Kansas City

Help Build a Game-Changing Gym Facility in Kansas City!

Hi, my name is Marcus Walker, and I’ve dedicated my life to developing the next generation of basketball talent—on and off the court. Over the years, I’ve had the incredible honor of training some of the world’s most elite players, including Jada Williams, KK Arnold, Breya Cunningham, Jersey Wolfenbarger, S’Mya Nichols, Eve Long, and Addison Bjorn. I was even personally asked by Kobe Bryant to work with his daughter, Gianna. Meeting him before his transition into heaven was one of the most humbling and unforgettable moments of my career—and it confirmed that the work I’m doing truly matters.

Now, I’m taking the next step: building a state-of-the-art gym facility right here in Kansas City, Missouri—one that matches the level of talent and potential in this city and beyond.

What We’re Building

This will be one of the premier training facilities in the entire country—a place where athletes at every level can sharpen their skills, develop their mindset, and become the best version of themselves. Our facility will include:

NBA-quality basketball floors

State-of-the-art training equipment

Cutting-edge recovery stations

Film study rooms for breaking down workouts and game film

On-site athlete housing for those traveling in to train

⚡ Elite year-round development programs for youth, high school, college-bound, and professional athletes

A Global Basketball Brand

This gym will also serve as the official headquarters of Grind House Basketball—a name already recognized around the world for elite basketball development. From the high-level players we’ve trained to our massive social media following, Grind House has grown from a movement into a global brand.

This facility will not only transform Kansas City—it will be a landmark training destination known across the country and internationally. Athletes from all over the world will travel here for the chance to train at the home of Grind House and experience a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to develop their game at the highest level.

Why It Matters

Kansas City has long been overlooked when it comes to elite athletic development—but that changes now. I’ve traveled the country training high-level athletes, and it’s time to bring that world-class experience home. With this facility, Kansas City will no longer be a hidden gem—we’ll be a national and global destination for serious athletes.

Over the years, I’ve helped countless players earn scholarships from Division I to JUCO, and I’ve coached athletes who became McDonald’s All-Americans, USA Basketball gold medalists, and future pros. Imagine what we can do with a facility that rivals the best in the nation—and exceeds expectations globally.

Our Goal

To bring this powerful vision to life, we are raising $350,000. Every dollar will go toward:

• Securing land and building out the gym

• Installing professional basketball floors

• Purchasing top-tier training and recovery equipment

• Creating a film breakdown and study area

• Developing on-site athlete housing

• Establishing Grind House Basketball’s official home base

• Building an environment where dreams turn into legacy

This will be a home for greatness—not just a gym, but a landmark facility that sets the national and global standard.
