Build the foundation
- Prevent early overuse injuries
- Improve coordination and balance
- Establish early movement patterns
- Build confidence that hasn't had a chance to form
Your athlete is working hard. We make sure that work actually builds something: stronger foundations, fewer injuries, real confidence.
No pressure. Just clarity on what your athlete needs next.
Tell us their age, where you train and what keeps getting in the way. We'll show you the program, the pillars to focus on and the exact first step.
Build the foundation. Before specialization, before pressure, before bad habits set in.
You're watching them work hard. Something keeps getting in the way. You're not looking for more effort. You're looking for answers.



When the root causes go unaddressed, athletes plateau, get injured again, and start to wonder if they're just not built for this. We've seen it thousands of times. And we've seen the opposite: what happens when someone finally gets a real plan.

A long term, data driven athlete development system aligned with how athletes actually grow: physically, mentally and with real confidence. Five pillars. One athlete. Every plan built around all five.

If you can't move well, nothing else matters. The foundation everything is built on.

Injury resilience and physical confidence. The engine that drives everything else.

Athleticism that transfers to the field, court or track, not just the gym.

Confidence, focus and emotional control when the pressure is highest.

Sleep, nutrition, recovery and leadership. The habits that compound over a career.
Every athlete starts with a free consultation, then the GRIT Comprehensive Assessment. From there the plan is built for their age, sport, season and goals.
We identify movement limitations, hidden weaknesses and performance gaps: the real reasons your athlete isn't progressing.




We build a training plan tailored to their age, sport, season and goals. Not a template. A real plan.

Expert coaches lead every session. Progress is tracked and adjusted. You see the difference, and so does your athlete.

No pressure. Just clarity on what your athlete needs next.
Pick an age group to see what changes, what families say and the questions parents ask most.

Before specialization. Before pressure. Before bad habits set in. Junior Grit is where 10 to 13 year olds learn how to move, listen to their body and push themselves, safely.
My son has come out of his shell completely. He looks forward to every session. The growth in his confidence and physical ability has been remarkable.
Rodolfo Riviere · Junior Grit parentIn just one month we saw our 10 year old's energy, endurance and motivation exceeding those of his peers. We didn't think results could come that fast.
Dania Jaramillo · Junior Grit parentOur twin boys have grown in both athletic ability and character. Every coach knows them personally and pushes them to develop their specific strengths.
Jenette McGiffin · Junior Grit parentYes. Everything is age appropriate and coach led. We train movement, coordination and bodyweight strength built specifically for developing bodies, never adult programs scaled down.
At this age, broad athletic foundations beat early specialization. Junior Grit builds the movement base that makes them better at the sport they love, and more resilient if they add others.
Small enough that every coach knows every athlete by name and can coach each rep. We'll walk you through current group sizes on your consultation call.
Start with a free consultation, then a GRIT Comprehensive Assessment so we understand exactly where your athlete is before building their plan.

Break plateaus, prevent injuries and build the durable speed and power that actually shows up in competition. High school, club, college and pro track: the window between 14 and 22 is when ceilings get set, or get capped.
After only a few weeks, my son's coach asked what he'd been doing to get so much faster and stronger. He's also making better choices about nutrition and sleep.
Sue Watson · Elite Grit parentDavid and Michael work closely with my kids around injuries so they stay active safely. My daughter has grown so much in confidence throughout her time at Gritworks.
Jenna Aguilar · Elite Grit parentStephen and Michael built a team that delivers so much more than physical output. They build confidence in kids. Our son has set goal after goal, and been proud of every result.
Wendy St. Claire · Elite Grit parentYes. In season training is built around your game schedule. We manage load so you stay fresh, durable and sharp when it counts, rather than beat up.
We develop the athlete first. Speed, strength, power and movement transfer to every sport. Programming is then tailored to the demands of your specific sport and position.
We build the physical profile college programs look for and retest it quarterly, so your progress is measurable. The work is on you. We make sure it's the right work.

Life Grit helps adults 35 to 65 rebuild mobility, restore strength and move with confidence, so pain stops running your days. Pain isn't aging. It's imbalance. And imbalance can be fixed.
I'm moving better and stronger than I have in years. They found the root of the pain, not just the symptom.
Coree Eaton · Life Grit memberThe coaching is patient and expert. I finally feel confident in my body again.
Anne Marie Dion · Life Grit memberTop notch facility and staff. They meet you exactly where you are and build you back up.
Hannah Pringle · Life Grit memberNo. We meet you exactly where you are. The assessment shows us your starting point, and the plan progresses from there at a pace that's right for your body.
Absolutely, that's the point. We build training that respects your history, addresses the imbalances behind the pain and rebuilds strength safely.
It depends on your goals and schedule. We'll map a realistic, sustainable cadence together on your consultation call.
More than okay. Coach led sessions mean you're guided through every movement, building confidence and competence from day one.
Stephen and Michael have built a facility and invested in staff that deliver so much more than physical output. They build confidence in these kids, goal after goal.
The facility is top notch, and the coaches are incredibly knowledgeable. They create a supportive environment where every athlete feels safe to push their limits.
Best training around. Fantastic atmosphere, great coaching staff, exactly who you want your kids learning from. People who care greatly about kids.
The assessment finds the real strengths and weaknesses in your child. They genuinely work on the mental game, honestly more important than the physical.
It really helped me with my speed and form for football season. The trainers are super supportive, and funny. It's great.
Michael pushed me hard and to my limit. I definitely saw the benefits once I started playing volleyball again. Can't wait to work with them again.
Every season an athlete trains without addressing root issues is another season of limited progress, or another preventable injury. The athletes who thrive aren't always the most talented. They're the ones who trained with a real plan.

Hosted by Michael Tetteh and Stephen Anderson. Each episode goes inside the stories that don't make the highlight reel: the hard seasons, the identity battles, the moments that forge character in families.
I was created with purpose, potential and power. My worth was settled before I ever stepped on the field.
My resilience burns brightest when I'm tested most. The grind isn't punishment. It's where I'm forged.
My worth is defined by growth, not wins. I chase who I'm becoming, not a flawless scoreboard.
Adversity may shake me, but it will never break me. I'm built to stand when everything pushes me to fall.
I rise higher by lifting others. My strength was never meant to be carried alone.
Challenges don't define me. They reveal me. I move toward what scares me because that's where I grow.
My actions today echo for generations. I'm not just building a season. I'm building a legacy.
