First time exploring GRITfit?

Welcome

GRITfit is Sensible Fitness for REAL People.

When was the last time you truly loved exercise? Have you ever moved your body for reasons that had nothing to do with changing its size or shape? Do you ever feel anxiety, guilt or obligation around fitness? It is our hope that GRITfit can offer something better than what you may have experienced from exercise in the past.

For so many of us, movement/exercise/fitness has become a tool that we use to control a “misbehaving body” or as a punishment for something we have or have not done. At GRITfit, we help you discover that movement is something that can be enjoyable and make the rest of your life better! And, as a bonus, you will find the most amazing community of people!

“Grit is about working on something you care about so much that you're willing to stay loyal to it...it's doing what you love, but not just falling in love―staying in love.” Angela Duckworth

Toxic fitness culture bullies us into believing that the best use of movement is to subdue or control our “misbehaving body”. But because we are dynamic and ever-changing living organisms, every day is a unique experience that is best responded to in a unique way. Through intentional practice, clients learn that sometimes grit is a choice to push hard and other times it is a choice to move more easily.

Regardless of what grit means to you, we can help you discover that movement can be falling and staying in love with your first and forever home: your magical body.

Grit is in all of us

  • GRITfit is focused on helping you become more connected to your body and your own experience of your life. Oftentimes, dieting can take the focus away from our internal landscape and turn it outward to the world. While we will support you in all of your decisions, we do not offer weight loss as a part of our program. We do, however, have a Registered Dietitian who works with our clients and offers a variety of workshops and courses throughout the year. To learn more about KT Nutrition, click here.

  • There are several reasons why we limit the use of mirrors at GRITfit. The primary reason is that we want to help our clients learn how to focus on how movement feels in their body instead of how it looks. There are several secondary reasons and we would love to share those with you! Just let us know and we’ll give you more detailed information.
