THE FOUNDING OF
GRIT ATHLETIC TRAINING
GRIT Athletic Training was founded by Beth Peroutka and Kristie Herring with one goal: build a better way to train athletes.
Beth brought years of experience in strength training, movement, coaching, and athlete development. Kristie brought years of experience in healthcare, therapy, business, and building strong teams.
Together, they saw a problem.
There was often a gap between rehab, strength training, and sport performance. Athletes could finish therapy but still not be ready for the speed, power, movement, and demands of their sport.
They believed there had to be a better way.
So they built GRIT.
Â
GRIT brings strength, movement, performance, return to play, coaching, and technology together in one system. The goal is simple: build the foundation each athlete needs and help them become stronger, more confident, and more prepared for their sport.
Today, GRIT works with athletes, teams, and organizations both locally and around the world.
But GRIT was never built just to grow a business.
It was built to make a difference.
As GRIT grows, we want to give back to the athletes, families, schools, teams, coaches, and communities that support us. We want young athletes to have great coaching, strong role models, and more chances to grow both on and off the field.
GRIT was never meant to be another gym.
It was built to fill the gap, build better athletes, and make a lasting impact.
