For business partners and friends Garrett Kinsey and Michael Luckie, performance means everything. The two have a passion for providing themselves, those around them and their community with the means to meet the ever-changing demands of the fitness and training world. It’s exactly what the North Georgia natives had in mind when they came together to identify an area of need in the community they call home.
Meet Kinsey and Luckie’s brainchild is Double Crown Performance. The unique next level training facility is set to open in Downtown Cornelia late this spring. Double Crown’s mission is to offer both personal and sport-specific training to local athletes.
According to Kinsey, what makes Double Crown different is found in Habersham’s lack of advanced training options for its area athletes.
“What makes us different is our specialty in translative sports training,” Kinsey said. “We use highly specialized technology to track performance input which is something Cornelia hasn’t offered in the past.”
They are young at 23, but it’s Garrett and Michael’s shared athletic background, and perhaps the recency of it, that make the business so compelling. Both Kinsey and Luckie played football for Berry College, where they won three straight conference titles. They credit Berry for their love of strength and conditioning.
While the duo has so much in common, each brings his own unique background.
Kinsey, a Habersham Central alum and younger brother of Tennessee Titans receiver Mason Kinsey, is currently finishing up his Masters Degree in Health and Human Performance at Piedmont University. Luckie, originally from Kennesaw, brings a shared passion towards sports performance, but mixes in his personal journey of battling numerous injuries throughout his college years.
