About the Program

GRIT offers a highly-individualized personal training program that focuses on the body’s muscles, preparing them for daily tasks by simulating common movement. It is a traditional gym workout with the added benefit of the targeted modalities you would receive in a physical therapy session. These well-rounded sessions are designed to improve health, posture, flexibility, strength and balance – key to everyday wellness and maximizing purposeful activity in your life.

The Benefits Are Not Just Physical

It has been widely proven that physical activity can have an impact on your “feel good” hormones, releasing dopamine, endorphins, and serotonin while decreasing the stress hormone, cortisol. What is equally important is the emerging science behind the role physical activity plays in promoting neuroplasticity, or the creation of new neurons in the brain. Read more about this here.
