🛡️ 5 YEARS. 100 SESSIONS THIS YEAR. 1 UNSTOPPABLE ATHLETE. 🛡️

Join us in giving a massive round of applause to one of the hardest workers in the room: Bryan!

Not only is Bryan celebrating his 5th anniversary as a core member of the Get A Grip Training Center family, but he also just crushed his 100th training session of the year! 💯 💥

To honor this huge milestone, we presented Bryan with our exclusive "300" movie-themed t-shirt, complete with the legendary red "100" on the sleeve and the reminder on the back that Bryan lives out every single week:

👉 "It’s not about having time, it’s about making time."

Five years of showing up, putting in the work, supporting those around him, and choosing consistency day after day. Bryan, we couldn't be prouder of your dedication, your grit, and the energy you bring to our gym floor every single time you step through the doors.

We chatted with Bryan about his 5-year journey, what keeps him motivated, and his favorite memories at Get A Grip.

👇 Drop a comment below to send Bryan some love and be sure to read his Q&A! 👇

1) You're always so selfless and ready to help others. What finally convinced you that you deserve the same level of care and investment?

“I thought I had to walk to talk instead of just trying to set the example, be the example!”

2) If your nieces and nephews could remember one thing about the example you've set for them, what would you hope it would be?

“Always be kind and treat people with respect! Also face any consequences and own any wrong doing!”

3) What's one thing you've accomplished in the gym that you're most proud of?

“There's so much that I have accomplished. It’s crazy to me to think about, but the biggest is to hold myself accountable!”

4) In Human Resources, you help people succeed every day. How has your fitness journey helped you become a better version of yourself professionally and personally?

“Don’t just preach the teach, but actually walk the walk!”

5) What's something people would be surprised to learn about you outside of work and fitness?

“Being gay, which may surprise some lol! But knowing that I grew up racing stock cars and doing demolition derby’s, that I can change an engine, my own oil, brakes and all the things that go along with racing!”

6) How has prioritizing your health positively impacted your family and the people around you?

“They see a happier me!”

7) What does being part of the Get A Grip community mean to you?

“Kind of going with the theme from above, but it helps me stay committed and enjoy the workouts!”

We're very proud of your accomplishments, Bryan! Here's to all of the best in the next year of your fitness journey! 💙🖤

What one word best describes Ryan to you? We’ll start: SOLID.

He’s a solid dude. He shows up for his training sessions like he does for his friends and family. He’s always there for them and puts in solid work.

Ryan just earned his 💯 shirt tonight, just in time to cut loose on vacation! Through some challenging times this year, Ryan has still prioritized his health and just continues to improve his fitness level.

Join us in congratulating this guy below.👇 Don’t forget to include YOUR one word that best describes him in your eyes!

Congratulations, Ryan! 🎊 We’re all super proud of you! 👊

🗣️ Big shoutout to MacKenzie Nicely & Emily Turpin for cracking 💯 training sessions on the year! 👊

A quick note about each of these baddies:

Kenz- you’ll be hard pressed to outwork her. She gives it her all every rep, every sesh… no ifs, ands, or buts about it. Keep on being a great example, Kenz! 💪

Em- another hard worker, and she even stepped in (again) and led this class while earning her 100th session. Emily is also not afraid to help “motivate” others when they need that extra push. Just remember, when people call you “the drill sergeant,” it’s a compliment! 🫡

These two often help patrol the group to make sure everyone is following instructions and not slacking, or else it’s👮🚨 time!

Join us in celebrating these ladies’ accomplishment! There are some other peeps also approaching their 💯, so stay tuned! 💙🖤

🎉 100 WORKOUTS COMPLETE FOR JON! 🎉

Help us celebrate Jon on an incredible milestone — 100 workouts! 💪🔥

Jon is a devoted husband, father, and farmer, and we know his schedule doesn’t always make getting to class easy. But he doesn’t make excuses — he makes it happen. 👏

Every time Jon walks through those doors, he shows up ready to give it his all. He works hard, pushes himself, and somehow manages to do it all with a smile on his face and a positive attitude. That kind of consistency and commitment is something worth celebrating!

His 100-workout shirt says it perfectly:

“It’s not about having time, it’s about making time.”

Jon is living proof of that. ❤️

And perhaps one of the most important things he’s accomplishing goes beyond the workouts themselves. By making his health a priority, Jon is showing his kids the importance of taking care of yourself, staying active, and making your health a part of your life — even when life gets busy.

100 workouts down… and he’s already working toward 200! 🚀

Congratulations, Jon! We’re so proud of you and grateful to have you as part of our gym family! Keep showing up, keep smiling, and keep setting that example. 💪❤️

More members are getting close to completing their 100. Check back to see who's next! 👀👀👀

If you have been on the fence thinking maybe this is something you may want to check out, don't wait and prioritize your health!

Yesterday was a busy day. First thing in the morning a few people took on 4sta Hike . This is an annual event out at Loud Thunder Forest preserve. It’s a great way to get outside and move while supporting Loud Thunder as all proceeds go to the preserve. It’s annual so check it out for next year! (Missed pics as we were soaking in the moments)

Next up was our group class at 8am. Jen ran this since Kevin was at 4sta and he was sure missed 🤣 He did leave us with some burpees, wall balls, get ups and more. It was a tough one but great!

Last was the annual Geneseo 9/11 stair climb. This event is always so moving and proceeds for this year’s event go to Braveheart Children’s Advocacy Center. While doing this each year we honor and remember those that lost their lives during the 9/11 attack to help others.

“There is no greater reward than working from your heart, and making a difference in the world.” Carlos Santana

💯 100 WORKOUTS. KEITH EARNED IT. 💯

Another one has joined the 100 Club! 🔥💪

Please help us give a HUGE Get A Grip shoutout to Keith, who just completed his 100th training session of 2026! 🏆

And if you've spent any time around Keith and Jessica, you know this milestone didn't happen by accident.

They recently celebrated their 1-year anniversary at Get A Grip, and from day one, they've consistently led by example. Not just for the Fit Fam, but for their family. They've stoked the fire of fitness in their children and shown them what it looks like to prioritize health, work hard, and keep showing up. ❤️

And Keith takes that consistency seriously.

He's been known to train while on vacation. 🌴➡️💪
He's knocked out plenty of two-a-days. And some of those second workouts? Let's just say he doesn't exactly go looking for the easy ones. 😂🔥

That's why the message on the back of his 100 shirt couldn't be more fitting:

"It's not about having time, it's about MAKING time."

That's our mantra as we all work toward our first 100 workouts of the year.

Because we all have busy lives.
Work. Family. Vacations. Responsibilities.
There will ALWAYS be a reason not to go.

Keith is proof that sometimes the difference between wanting it and doing it is simply making the decision to show up.

And now Keith joins Josh and Jim, who have already punched their tickets to the 100 Club this year! 💯💯💯

But we're not done yet...

👀 Several more members are approaching 100, and they're closing in FAST.

We'll be celebrating them very soon, so STAY TUNED!

And if you've been watching from the sidelines... thinking about joining... waiting until life slows down...

Life probably isn't going to slow down.

You just have to make the time. We'll help you make the rest happen. ❤️

Congratulations, Keith! 100 down. Keep the fire burning! 🔥💯

FOUR YEARS OF SHOWING UP. FOUR YEARS OF NEVER GIVING UP.

Cassi, your resilience inspires us more than you know. ❤️

Four years ago, Cassi walked through our doors feeling out of shape and unsure of what this journey would look like. Today, she doesn't just work out; she can't imagine life without it.

She's a teacher. A wife. A mom. A grandma. A friend. And one of those people whose smile can light up an entire room and whose laugh is absolutely contagious. But perhaps the thing we admire most about Cassi is her resilience.

She didn't wait for life to get less busy. She didn't wait until she "had time." She made time. And her advice to other busy moms says it all: "You have to make time. I wish I would have done it sooner."

Four years later, she's stronger, healthier, surrounded by friends, and grateful for what her body allows her to do for the people she loves.

And that's what we're celebrating... not just four years with Get A Grip, but four years of choosing herself so she can continue showing up for everyone else.

Happy 4-Year Get A Grip Anniversary, Cassi! We are incredibly lucky to have you in our Fit Fam. ❤️💪

Read on to gain a little insight into Cassi's journey and learn a little more about her:

1) You spend your days pouring into others. When did you realize that investing in yourself isn't selfish?

"I don’t think that I realized investing in myself was not selfish until after I had been at Get A Grip for a few months. At first, it was really hard because I was so out of shape. But as time went on I knew that consistency at the gym was what was best for me."

2) What's harder: teaching a classroom full of kids or surviving a Get A Grip workout after a long day?

"Teaching is definitely harder! A few years ago I might have said that gym, but now I can’t live without working out."

3) If your daughters and grandson could inherit one healthy habit from you, what would you want it to be?

"I hope they inherit the will to never give up on their health!"

4) What's one thing you've gained at Get A Grip that has nothing to do with fitness?

"I have the best friends at the gym. I really look forward to catching up with everyone each time I am there."

5) What's been your proudest fitness accomplishment since joining?

"I think I am most proud that I am making my health a priority."

6) If you could give one piece of advice to busy moms who say they "don't have time" to work out, what would it be?

"I would say you have to make time. I wish I would have done it sooner."

7) How has becoming stronger physically helped you show up better as a wife, mom, teacher, and grandma?

"I am physically able to do my job, my household chores, and take care of my family. I am thankful for my health and for my gym."

Great work, Cassi and thank you for sharing! Please join us in celebrating her fourth year with a heartfelt "Congrats" below! 👇

💯 ONE HUNDRED. AND THEN SOME. 💯

100 workouts. One incredible milestone. One heck of a journey.

Yesterday, Jim officially punched his ticket to 100 workouts in 2026! 💪🔥

And while we're a day late getting this celebration posted, we couldn't let this milestone go by without giving him the recognition he deserves.

Because here's the thing...

This may be Jim's 100th workout of THIS year, but it's quite possibly his 1,000th+ workout since he first walked through the doors of Get A Grip way back in 2019.

That's not just a number.

That's years of showing up.
Years of choosing consistency.
Years of putting in the work.
Years of being part of the Fit Fam.

And yesterday's milestone was made even more special because Jen joined Jim for the workout and got to witness him hit his 100th firsthand. ❤️

But Jim wasn't the only one bringing loved ones into the gym!

Jon brought his cousins Charise from Denver and Matt from the UP in Michigan to join in on the fun. We love when our members bring their people along for the ride!

And then there's the shirt. 👀

As part of our "300 Challenge", we're celebrating the members who make fitness a priority with custom Get A Grip shirts at the 100, 200, and 300 workout milestones.

Jim's 100 shirt features our special red Get A Grip logo on the front, a "100" on the sleeve, and perhaps the most important part on the back:

"It's not about having time, it's about MAKING time."

That's the mantra.

Because every one of us has work.
Family.
Responsibilities.
Busy schedules.
Excuses we could make.

The difference isn't that some people have more time.
They make the time.

Jim did. And now he's officially part of the 100 Club along with Josh. 🏆

And here's the REALLY cool part...

Jim and Josh won't be alone for long. 👀

There are several more members closing in on 100, and we'll be celebrating them VERY soon.

So if you've been sitting on the fence...thinking about joining...waiting for the "right time"... Maybe this is your sign.

You don't need to be in perfect shape.
You don't need to know what you're doing.
You don't need to have hours to spend at the gym.

You just need to show up. We'll help with the rest.

Congratulations, Jim! 100 down. 200 to go. 😤💯🔥

And to our entire Fit Fam: KEEP SHOWING UP. KEEP MAKING TIME. KEEP GETTING A GRIP. 💙🖤
