OUR FOUNDING STORY

Brittani (Brit) Rettig Wold founded GRIT Fitness in 2015, an empowering fitness concept based on her belief that mental grit, or “passion and perseverance for long-term goals” is the key to both fitness success and to living our best lives. Since its inception, GRIT has grown to multiple Dallas area locations and a virtual studio that serves women worldwide. GRIT has been named “Best Fitness Program” by D Magazine, “Best Gym” by Dallas Observer and “Best New Fitness Studio” by Dallasites 101.

Brit advocates that learning to endure though physical challenges teaches us to persevere through greater life challenges.  "We can't always control life's circumstances but we can control how we respond."

At GRIT, Brit has designed and curated a set of original, music-driven group fitness classes that provide an intense workout and a fun experience.  She's also hand-selected an inspiring team of instructors who each demonstrate the core values of passion, fun, positive energy and perseverance.

She earned her undergraduate degree from Cornell University where she was captain of the women’s varsity basketball team and holds an MBA from Harvard Business School. She’s also a graduate of the Dallas Regional Chamber’s Leadership Dallas Class of 2020.
