Local trainer opens two basketball gyms called The Hoop House
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Ryan Razooky made his hoop dreams a reality. The Steele Canyon High School alum started his basketball training journey in 2013, helping teach the game to his younger brother.
"I want to be around basketball every day, and this is the best way to do it," Razooky said. "I was coaching while I was still playing. I loved coaching, I had more impact of helping them then furthering my career."
After five years of saving money, the 28-year-old entrepreneur went on to open two San Diego-based basketball gyms: one in El Cajon, the other in San Marcos, both called The Hoop House .
The Hoops trains hoopers on all levels, focusing most on the younger generation.
When walking into The Hoop House, hoopers will notice the giant mural on the wall, filled with NBA legends like Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and Lebron James. Even guys like Jimmy Butler who has worked with The Hoop House.
"We've been working with a few NBA guys, most notable Jimmy Butler. We've had a really awesome relationship since 2020, since the COVID days. Jimmy's strength trainer son comes here and that's how we met," Razooky said.
Razooky hopes to keep bringing people to The Hoop House to learn the game he loves.
