GET FITTY LIVE GRITTY
Despite different life experiences, David, Liz, and Zack all saw how fitness and life success mirror each other. What started as three personal journeys quickly evolved into a collective effort to build a community of like-minded badasses, bonded by their dedication to fitness and drive to succeed. In the spirit of taking action, Fitty Gritty was born. Join us on this wild ride!
Hey there, I’m Elizabeth,
The free-spirited Co-Founder and CEO behind Fitty Gritty. I’m a bold go-getter, always seeking adventure, who lives passionately and wears authenticity with pride.
From an early age, I was taught to NEVER doubt who I am and to live life on MY terms—a principle that continues to guide me. Whether I was embarking on solo travel explorations, moving to a new city, or navigating the corporate world, I’ve always embraced life with open arms.
It wasn’t until I became a competitive body-building athlete that I truly understood the raw power of discipline and grit. Waking up at 3 AM to squeeze in a workout before jetting off on a business trip. That's the kind of dedication that defined my journey. Balancing the demands of a corporate gig with the rigors of training, I found myself in a constant hustle, but it was in those moments of challenge that I learned limitations only exist in our minds. I work on my mindset daily and believe the more we evolve the more our mindset has to level up.
But it wasn't all about lifting weights and climbing the corporate ladder. It was about looking in the mirror and seeing more than just muscles—it was about seeing resilience, determination, and the relentless pursuit of growth staring back at me.
My journey has taught me that true success isn't measured by trophies or corner offices; it's about the daily grind, the small victories, and the commitment to becoming the best version of myself. It's about finding balance and prioritizing my health and well-being, not as an afterthought, but as a foundation for success. This is what living “Fitty Gritty” means to me.
If you are still reading this, I urge you to embrace your own "Fitty Gritty”. Whether you're pursuing your fitness goals, advancing in your career, or facing challenges in your personal life, remember that success is not a destination—it's a journey. When you live boldly and authentically, there’s no limit to what you can achieve.
Hey there, I’m David,
Your go-to guy for fitness wisdom and vacuuming escapades. Oh, and did I mention I’m fluent in Mandarin? Yep, I can squat and speak simultaneously—impressive, right?
My fitness journey began like many others, fueled by a desire to transform my body. As an entrepreneur and father, I juggled numerous responsibilities, and amidst the chaos, fitness often took a backseat. It wasn’t until I experienced one of the lowest points of my life, where my connection to fitness completely changed. I had a roadmap of exactly what my life should look like and as soon as I got my first real dose of failure, I quickly found I didn’t have the coping skills necessary to deal with it.
Now, let’s talk about my strange addiction: vacuuming. Yup, amidst the chaos, there’s nothing quite like the soothing hum of a vacuum cleaner to calm the nerves. But I digress.
Failure became my greatest teacher, showing me that true strength lies not in the size of our muscles, but in the resilience of our minds. I discovered fitness isn't just a workout regimen—it's a way of life. It's about embracing challenges, confronting setbacks, and emerging stronger on the other side. This is what living “Fitty Gritty” means to me.
Through the daily grind of workouts and the introspection it brought, I found a newfound sense of mental freedom—a liberation from self-doubt and fear. Fitness became my sanctuary, a space where I could push my limits and unleash my full potential.
Now, I'm passionate about sharing this journey with others. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting out, I'm here to help you tap into the power of Fitty Gritty—so grab your vacuum (if you’re into that sort of thing) and let’s GET FITTY & LIVE GRITTY together!
Hey there! I'm Zack,
Your co-founder and master of ceremonies at Fitty Gritty. Balancing multiple businesses, jet-setting with Roaring Riot, and being a dad? Yep, that's my hustle.
But let me pull back the curtain a bit. Life's thrown more than a few curveballs my way. Sure, there was that major setback—an unexpected chronic back injury that landed me in surgery. Suddenly, staying on top of my game meant more than just closing deals; it meant prioritizing my health and fitness amidst the chaos of business and family life.
Yet, here I am, still standing (or maybe slightly hobbling). That injury wasn't the only hurdle I've faced. Navigating life’s obstacles, whether it’s bouncing back from a major injury or overcoming personal and professional setbacks, has completely shifted my perception of resilience. Each trial has served as a valuable lesson in sustaining a positive mindset.
So here I am, armed with determination and a serious dose of grit, rebuilding my routines from the ground up. It's been a journey, for sure, but one that's teaching me the discipline needed to run successful businesses while still finding time to prioritize my health and well-being. Each challenge has been a lesson in maintaining a healthy mindset. It's about embracing the daily hustle, savoring every small victory, and relentlessly pursuing the best version of myself. Whether I'm hosting an event, pursuing dreams, or hitting the gym, I'm fully committed, because for me, that's what it truly means to live "Fitty Gritty”.
