Patrick Mahomes Gets KICKED OUT of Gym, Owner’s Reaction When Team Bus Arrived…

The morning began like any other at Elite Performance Center, but for Patrick Mahomes, it was about to turn into anything but ordinary. He’d arrived in town early for a charity event and wanted to get in a quick workout before the day’s packed schedule. With his custom matte black Escalade parked discreetly in the lot, Patrick adjusted his hoodie and pushed open the gym doors.

Marcus Wilson, the gym’s owner, was already in the middle of his morning routine. At 4:30 a.m., he’d pulled into the lot, his old Toyota Corolla groaning in protest. The first light of dawn illuminated the graffiti scrawled across the building’s side wall—a fresh tag from the neighborhood kids. “Great,” Marcus muttered. Another expense to add to the pile. This gym wasn’t just his business; it was his life, his pride, and his connection to the community.

Inside, Jerome, the janitor, was finishing up his night shift. Marcus nodded at him, exchanging the usual pleasantries before diving into his tasks: checking equipment, inspecting the courts, and running through his mental to-do list. By the time the gym began to fill with the sounds of bouncing basketballs and squeaking sneakers, Marcus was fully in his zone.

That’s when he noticed the unfamiliar face.

Patrick Mahomes, though trying his best to keep a low profile, wasn’t exactly inconspicuous. Even under the hoodie, his 6’3″ frame and unmistakable charisma stood out. A group of kids near the court froze mid-drill, their jaws dropping. Whispers filled the gym.

“Is that Patrick Mahomes?”
“No way! What’s he doing here?”

Marcus, oblivious to the commotion, approached Patrick, clipboard in hand. “Morning,” he greeted, his voice firm but polite. “You here for open gym?”

Patrick smiled, extending a hand. “Morning. Yeah, just looking to get in a quick workout.”

Marcus shook his hand but didn’t return the smile. “I don’t think you’re on the schedule. This is a community gym, and we’ve got team practices going on right now.”

Patrick, taken aback, chuckled. “I figured I’d just slip in for a bit. I won’t take up much space.”

Marcus didn’t budge. “Sorry, but it doesn’t work like that. We’ve got kids here working hard for their championship. This isn’t a private facility. You’d need to book time in advance.”

The murmurs in the gym grew louder. Some of the kids started filming, while others huddled around, eager to see what would happen next. Patrick, still calm, nodded. “I get it. Rules are rules. But maybe I can just shoot around on one of the open courts?”

Marcus crossed his arms, his expression unwavering. “Not during practice hours. These kids are here putting in the work. They deserve the focus, not a distraction.”

Patrick respected the man’s resolve but wasn’t ready to give up. “Alright, what if I sponsor a day for the kids here? Cover some costs for the gym in exchange for a little court time?”

Marcus hesitated. He wasn’t one to turn down help, especially with the financial strain he was under. But this wasn’t about money—it was about principles.

“Look,” Marcus said, lowering his voice, “I appreciate the offer, but these kids need to see that hard work and following the rules matter more than anything else. You of all people should understand that.”

Patrick paused, his expression shifting from surprise to understanding. He glanced at the kids watching from the sidelines, their eyes wide with admiration. They didn’t need a star quarterback taking over their gym; they needed the space to shine themselves.

“You’re right,” Patrick said finally, his voice sincere. “I respect what you’re doing here. I’ll come back another time when it’s open gym.”

Marcus nodded, his expression softening. “You’re welcome anytime. Just call ahead next time, alright?”

As Patrick turned to leave, the door to the gym burst open. Coach Thompson walked in, clipboard in hand, and froze when he saw the NFL superstar. “Is that… Patrick Mahomes?!”

The gym erupted in excitement. Kids swarmed Patrick for autographs and selfies, and despite the earlier tension, Patrick took the time to talk to each of them, offering words of encouragement and posing for pictures.

By the time Patrick’s team bus arrived to pick him up, the gym was buzzing with energy. Marcus watched from his desk, shaking his head with a small smile. The superstar had handled the situation with grace, and the kids would remember this day for the rest of their lives.

As the bus pulled away, Marcus turned back to the gym. The graffiti on the wall, the creaky heater, the unpaid bills—they could all wait. For now, he was reminded of why he’d started this gym in the first place: to give people—whether they were aspiring athletes or even NFL stars—a place to grow, to learn, and to be better.

Brittany shares her daughter Sterling Skye, 3, and Patrick “Bronze” Lavon III, 2, with husband Patrick.

“Brittany says I’ve been stressing her out too much this season,” the dad of two admitted. “So I got to try to not put so much stress on her through these football games.”

He added that the couple is hoping the baby’s birth lands “on a bye week” when the Chiefs aren’t playing, “and then everything will work out perfectly.”

After Christmas this year, the soon-to-be mom of three revealed what she and the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback gifted their kids for Christmas on her Instagram Stories. In one snap, their son, Bronze smiled in the front seat of a mini, matte black Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon. A second photo showed their daughter, Sterling sitting back in a mini, pink Range Rover.

The toddlers couldn’t get enough of their new toy cars. “Happiest boy ever!!!” the proud mom wrote over Bronze’s picture. “Happy girl!!!” she added over Sterling’s snap, tagging their dad in each story slide.

At the beginning of December, Brittany shared a snapshot on her Instagram Stories from after her son Bronze’s encounter with Santa.

While the toddler was smiling in the post-Santa snap, his mom joked that the same could not be said for his actual holiday photo shoot. “Of course he was smiley and in a great mood once he wasn’t close to Santa 😂,” wrote Brittany.

The image showed Bronze sitting up straight in a folding chair with a smile on his face, while wearing a flannel hoodie and cargo pants. Brittany later shared a follow-up photo of Bronze in the same position.

“A perfect picture of how the Santa pictures did not go…😂,” she wrote over the second pic.
