Big news for the fitness community in Allen, Texas: Greg McCoy, owner of the powerhouse Hidden Gym, has been named one of the 2025, Top 20 Under 40, by the Allen Fairview Young Professionals.

Congratulations Greg!

This prestigious award, presented by the Allen Fairview Chamber of Commerce, shines a spotlight on rising stars who are making waves in their industries and giving back to the community. It is no surprise to those of us who work with Greg and know him, that he was chosen to be a part of the list. Let’s just say, if anyone fits the bill of working hard, building a successful project, and then giving back to the community out of their success, it’s Greg.​

The Man Behind Hidden Gym

Greg McCoy isn’t just a gym owner, he’s a vibrant part of the community. He’s a builder of dreams, of bodies, and communities – both within the gym locations and in the regions around them.

With over 15 years in the fitness industry, Greg has grown Hidden Gym into a local landmark. Those interested in health, hustle, and heart, know where to go to find like-minded people. Hidden Gym not your typical gym. It is a dynamic physical and mental training facility with everything from personal training and powerlifting to boxing and youth programs. It is simultaneously focused on high achievement and competition, and support from a fitness community. It’s a place where beginners and elite athletes alike find their groove, and reach their various milestones side by side.​

What makes Greg’s journey even more inspiring is his passion for helping others transform their lives. This means getting better not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. He’s known for his effective motivational leadership, for big-picture thinking that is both deep and far-reaching, and for his ability to bring people together, whether it’s for a community boot camp or a fitness seminar.​

This is not a one-way relationship of course. Behind every great entrepreneur is a great support system. Greg is quick to credit his wife and business partner, Tawna Eubanks McCoy, a fitness powerhouse in her own right, for her part in building the gym and the spirit of those who use it. Together, they’ve cultivated a culture at Hidden Gym that goes far beyond reps and sets. It’s a space of growth, encouragement, and community impact.​

The Role of Allen Fairview Chamber and YP Group

This recognition comes from the Allen Fairview Young Professionals group, a vibrant initiative operating under the Chamber of Commerce. The Young Professionals group supports emerging leaders in their twenties and thirties. It provides support such as networking, leadership development, and opportunities to serve the community. As part of their community support, they highlight achievers, those who have come a long way on their journeys and show no signs of stopping now. The Top 20 Under 40 awards are their way of recognizing those who go the extra mile… and look towards the one after that too!​

The Chamber of Commerce itself plays a major role in shaping the business landscape of Allen. Through support programs, advocacy, and events, they help both small businesses and large organizations thrive. Honoring entrepreneurs like Greg is part of their mission to spotlight success stories and inspire others to get involved.​
