Solveig + some words from my heart..
This place is a piece of my soul. My heart. My family.
Every single person who walks through these doors—whether it’s me, a coach, or a member—becomes part of that. You’re part of something bigger.
And like any real family, it’s not perfect. There are hard days. There are messy days. But there are also days filled with so much joy, strength, and connection that it outweighs everything else.
For over two years, I’ve known growth was coming. And if I’m honest—it’s been terrifying, I've questioned everything...
What happens next?
How will people respond?
What will it cost?
Am I even capable of this?
I wrestled with all of it. But at the end of the day, growth—for this community, for movement, for this family, for Huron—wasn’t optional. It was necessary.
And here’s the truth: this next chapter isn’t just about my growth. It’s about ours.
Let me introduce two people who have been shaping this place in ways you already feel, whether you realize it or not:
Jillian Reno
My daughter. My mini-me (somedays). A woman I'm incredibly lucky to have by my side in life.
She walked into this gym at 12 years old, and now she coaches, leads, and pours herself into every single person who shows up. Watching her grow here has been unreal. And while Jared and I would love to take all the credit for the woman she has become—we can’t. This community helped raise her. Every coach, every member, every moment. She is who she is because of all of you.
If you haven’t met her yet—you need to. She will change you.
Ashlynne Gross
If you know, you know. If you don’t—come in, you’ll hear the story.
She came into my life and everything shifted, in every single way that it needed to. She brought an idea, and without hesitation I said, “Hell yes- let's do it!!!” A month later, Solveig | GritFit was born. It felt fast, chaotic, exciting—and honestly, I didn’t fully understand what we were building at the time. But looking back now? I see it clearly.
Great things don’t happen by accident. They happen when you’re brave enough to go after what you want—and strong enough to bring people with you.
So that’s what I did.
Ashlynne and Jillian are now my official partners.
But truthfully? That’s just paperwork. From day one, they’ve been growing with all of us and wanting the same things. They have been my right and left hands. My strength when I’m tired. My push when I hesitate. The voices that say, “Why the hell not?” when I start questioning everything.
I couldn’t do this without them and all of you. Together—we are something special.
This gym is growing into everything we’ve dreamed about… and more.
So here we go—this is just the beginning.
