History
Camp Gladiator was founded by co-CEOs Ally and Jeff Davidson in 2008 in Dallas, Texas. That year, on the morning of their wedding, Ally auditioned for NBC's reality competition television show American Gladiators. She was one of 40 people selected, and went on to become the season 2 female champion. With $100,000 in prize money, they launched Camp Gladiator. In 2009, they relocated the business headquarters to Austin, Texas.
