GRIT GYM

GRIT GYM Innovative strength training for optimal aging Grit Gym is a boutique personal training studio located in Iowa City.

Now in our 12th year of business, Grit has grown from a single strength coach to a small staff. Grit Gym has a reputation for rebelling against the status quo with an expertise in exercise prescription and program design that helps people to workout the way they need to in order to push out into their lives they way they want to. Even after difficult injuries and long hiatuses from exercise. Grit

provides progressive training, mindset, recovery and nutrition protocols in a delivery system of subversive humor and energy that is fun yet focused, introverted yet welcoming, and direct yet positive. More than anything we care on a level that is weird. We read tons of books, take perspectives far outside the realm of normal and live on the edge of unreasonable personal growth daily. We are experts in exercise that put each individual at the top of necessities for success.

Some people really make you realize how lucky you are. Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀💪

Great workout today, Nancy!

If you're curious what you could do with a workout partner like Nancy and a Grit Gym Coach, take us up on a Free Consultation here: https://www.gritgym.com/free-consultation/

It’s sure to be an over-the-top, high-pressure, drill sergeant-style workout that no one could complete… 😆

It’s actually extremely beginner-friendly. The free consultation is 1-on-1 with your own coach, and we won’t do anything strenuous. Hope you take us up on it!

🎉 Happy New Year from Grit Gym! 🎉
As we say goodbye to this year and look ahead to the next, we want to thank you for being part of the Grit Gym tribe. Whether you’ve crushed goals, conquered TGUs and GHRs, or just showed up when life threw its best punches, you’ve made this community stronger—and yes, sweatier.
Tonight, as you reflect on the year gone by (and maybe celebrate with that well-deserved slice of pie...or glass of wine), take a moment to appreciate how far you’ve come. Balance, progress, and a little fun—that’s what it’s all about.
Here’s to a new year filled with laughs, challenges, and everything you’re ready to take on. We’ll be here to push, support, and celebrate with you every step of the way. Let’s make this the best year yet!
Cheers,
The Grit Gym Team

ADDITION ❌ NOT❌ SUBTRACTION

Focus on adding healthy foods instead of taking away food.

Add in foods that’ll make you feel fuller for longer like more PROTEIN 💪💪💪

Diets don’t have to be restriction based.

Don’t focus on what you “can’t” or “shouldn’t” have.

Focus on adding foods and making the better choice.

Your nutrition doesn’t have to be perfect.

You got THIS‼️
