As TMZ reported in 2013, two men named Jory Wolf and Nicholas Lorenz sued for “unspecified damages,” claiming that they invested a large sum of money into Performance Gaines gym before Hank Baskett was even involved in the project. Wolf and Lorenz alleged that they were promised a 40% share in the gym, which prompted their decision to invest; however, their shares were given away to other partners.
Travelle Gaines was the main target of the suit, but Baskett was also legally involved as one of the project’s partners. Neither Gaines nor Baskett commented publicly on the situation. While it’s unclear how exactly the suit panned out, there’s evidence that Wolf and Lorenz sued for close to $300,000, with Performance Gaines LLC agreeing to pay out an unspecified amount to both parties.

Among other reasons, Performance Gaines Gym was notable because of its NFL ties (Baskett’s involvement), and Gaines’ experience training top-tier NFL athletes. As Gaines told Yahoo Sports’ Shutdown Corner, at one point there were “30-plus NFL players training at [Performance Gaines gym] through the offseason.” Unsurprisingly, the facility had quite a reputation among coaches and trainers. “The goal is that when an NFL coach knows that his guys are training at Performance Gaines, he doesn’t have to worry about them,” Gaines added. Per his Instagram, Gaines remains connected to Athletic Gaines, which brands itself as an “industry leader in athletic performance training.”
