The FIT

The FIT's owner and head trainer, Jared Schomburg, recently had the honor of being on the "Built on Purpose" podcast with Justin Wilhelm. The discussion ranges from Jared's early days of creating ways to improve his fitness, to how he started The FIT, to his personal struggles and challenges running a culture-centered gym. This is a unique opportunity to learn more about The FIT and why it's such an amazing gym and community of people! We hope you will enjoy the podcast and share it with others who may need The FIT more than they realize.

Yesterday we had the honor of participating in the 5th Annual Rockford Hero Climb in remembrance of the victims and first responders of 9/11. This was The FIT’s third time joining the Hero Climb and once again it was an amazing day!

Thank you to everyone who came out in support of such a worthy cause and for challenging yourselves with 21 Round Trips on the stadium stairs!

The FIT was rocking this morning for SuperFIT #198! It’s a special gym that can accommodate so many people for one large group training session and everyone is able to lift to their respective level at each station and still receive a full body workout. Thank you to everyone who came out this morning in support of our first responders!

Why Uncommon Strength Training?
1) The brain craves movement-based stimulation that challenges all three planes of motion and incorporates cross-body patterns in a proprioceptively-enriched environment.
2) Muscles and joints deserve to be challenged with novel expressions of tension and movement.
3) Connective tissues adapt best to varying levels of positions, postures, movement variability, and rates of strain.
4) Because it’s FUN!

Today we said goodbye to one of The FIT's finest, Jenelle Curatolo. Jenelle started at The FIT near the end of August in 2019 and has been one of The FIT's most dedicated and consistent members ever since. In fact, today was Jenelle's 1,709th session at The FIT!

During the last 7 years Jenelle has consistently worked hard and has built a truly impressive fitness capacity. She is strong, powerful, and very well conditioned and has come a long, long way since she began at The FIT.

Jenelle is moving to Colorado to be closer to the mountains she loves and trails she can't wait to hike! We wish her nothing but the best and can't wait to hear about her adventures.

Saturday mornings are still lively at The FIT! We offer two MRT sessions at 8am and 9am. It’s another opportunity for our members to complete a challenging training session and start their weekend off right! There are many great things to love about The FIT, but two things we hear regularly from our members is how they love not having to think about what their workout should consist of at the gym and the energy they get from training side by side with others. At The FIT we program effective and efficient training sessions AND we coach everyone how to get the most from their efforts. The FIT is NOT like other gyms.

We will be joining local first responders to embark on a symbolic climb of 110 flights of stairs in memory of their fallen FDNY brothers and sisters. The stadium's track will also be open if you are not able to climb the stairs or would prefer to walk to honor the fallen. Members from The FIT will be participating as a team. The FIT is covering the cost of the team registration. Wear your FIT gear and come enjoy the climb!

You can register for the Hero Climb at The FIT.
