Enter GRIT, our third pillar for well rounded fitness. Our Grit Focus is designed to strengthen your mental and physical capacity to face discomfort head on, push beyond your perceived limits, and stay present under pressure. Over 12 weeks, you'll work through targeted experiences: confronting failure, removing your reliance on external data, and working inside the feeling of overwhelm.
