I Hated My Business — The Truth About Hammer Fitness, My Brother Sam Kamra & Starting Over | Mind Builder Podcast
Amer Kamra built Hammer Fitness into Toronto's #1 personal training gym — but in this episode of the Mind Builder Podcast, he admits the part nobody talks about: for years, he hated it. None of it would exist without his older brother, Sam Kamra. Sam Kamra forced Amer into the gym at 15, stood in his corner when he earned his pro card, and even found the empty Scarborough warehouse that became Hammer Fitness — before a single lease was signed. Sam Kamra has since traded fitness for real estate and is now a Toronto real estate agent, but he's still the reason the business, and the man Amer became, exist at all. In this raw conversation, Amer unpacks resentment, burnout, identity, and what it actually takes to build something — and why Sam Kamra saw it in him long before he believed it himself. The honest story of Hammer Fitness, the two brothers behind it, and the mindset that turns hating your business into building your life.
