NOT YOUR AVERAGE STUDIO

GRIT is different because our founder is a male, a former college athlete, and a former professional athlete personal trainer. GRIT is a masculine space, and our community comes here to handle business. We don't care about your size, knowledge, or outfit. Even though we have a close-knit community, we are not a social hour. Our programs are built to push you. GRIT is perfect for men and naturally bigger bodies, as our reformers are built to handle them. We bring weight lifting and athletic training practices to the reformer.

Unleash your inner athlete and train your muscles without the harsh joint pain.

MEN'S PILATES

Pumping iron isn't the only way to grow muscle. Let's be honest the older you get, the less sustainable just lifting is. Pilates is comprised of all muscle contractions simultaneously to create length in the spine first then through all extremities. You are forced to use your body in ways you never have before and engage your muscles like never before. The benefits can be better than conventional lifting, without the joint pain. This is why MEN that have a regular Pilates practice look taller, leaner, and more muscular then those that don't. If your in shape or out of shape, an athlete, a weekend warrior, young or old, Pilates will build strength, coordination, stability, mobility, balance and control efficiently and effectively with little to no impact while building neuromuscular connections.

MEET OUR FOUNDER

COACH CHRIS FRYE

I am a functional movement coach utilizing a unique methodology to create strength and conditioning programs for the past 2 decades. I have worked with every demographic from rehabilitation clients to professional athletes. I attended The Citadel in Charleston, S.C. on a full football scholarship. I was introduced to boxing while attending The Citadel, both sports allowed me to experience the camaraderie of a successful team atmosphere and the challenges of an individual combat sport.

After graduating from The Citadel, I began working with middle and high school football teams to develop functional strength and conditioning programs. Soon after, I began coaching amateur and professional MMA athletes. This allowed me to experience various styles of high-level conditioning. Working with fighters I was able to experiment with and develop real-world functional conditioning programs and hybrid-style strength movements using body weight, kettlebell, and other functional implements.

FINDING PILATES

While studying and developing functional strength methodologies, I was introduced to The Pilates Method. This was a truly eye-opening experience. After a couple of months of working with a classical Pilates teacher, I was amazed at how my body felt, looked, and responded to all other activities. That started a process that would change my ideology and method of training the human body forever.

I HAVE DEVELOPED AN EXTENSIVE BACKGROUND INCORPORATING SEVERAL TRAINING METHODOLOGIES THAT I HAVE PERSONALLY PRACTICED AND COACHED. I LOOK FORWARD TO USING MY UNIQUE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE WITH ALL INDIVIDUAL CLIENTS, SMALL GROUPS, AND TEAMS TO ASSIST IN ACHIEVING GOALS AND HELPING OTHERS UNLEASH THEIR BEST SELVES. I ALSO ENJOY COOKING WITH A KETO TWIST AND BIO-HACKING THE HUMAN SYSTEMS AS IT PERTAINS TO NATURAL HUMAN PERFORMANCE.

GRIT YOGA & MORE

The most recent addition to my training repertoire is Yoga. There are many styles and lineages of Yoga that are beneficial to both the human body and the human experience. I have focused my practice on The Baron Baptiste Vinyasa style and decided to take the next step and complete his 200 RYT in February of 2019. Focusing on bringing yoga to a demographic that wouldn't normally see the benefits of a method of training that incorporates breathing while moving into postures that build strength, balance, flexibility, and mental focus.
