Choose the Right Way to Train
GRIT offers more than one path. Some clients want group energy. Some need private coaching. Some are athletes chasing power, rotation, balance, and durability. Others want a lower-impact way to rebuild confidence and strength.

Pricing & Packages
Group Reformer Classes
Active group options include Signature GRIT, Dynamic Reformer, Silver and Fit, Jumpboard, and Kettlebell Reformer. Explosive Edge supports student and athlete training, and Men’s GRIT Reformer can return as a seasonal or featured format when it is on the schedule. Reformer 101 is no longer the regular beginner gate
GRIT now recommends private foundations when possible and still allows experienced movers to drop into appropriate group classes.
Private, Duet, and Personal Coaching
Personal training and private coaching give you more individual attention. Sessions may include reformer work, strength training, kettlebells, mobility, boxing pad work, weight training, breath, and goal-specific coaching.
Duet sessions, family sessions, private groups, and VIP private parties are available for clients who want a more personal format with up to 10 people.
Athlete and Team Work
GRIT also supports athletes and teams with reformer work, strength and conditioning, Explosive Edge, pad training by appointment, kettlebells, jumpboard speed work, and sport-focused movement.
The goal is to build usable strength, core control, balance, agility, rotational power, and better body awareness without making medical promises.
