I have never liked strength training, nor have I ever relished the idea of working out with other people. I arrived at an age however, where strength training became unavoidable if I wanted to set myself up to age well, prevent injury, and continue doing all the activities I love. 

I found Fortitude online, met Travis, and thought I’d give it a whirl. I had never lifted weights and was scared of injuring myself, I also didn’t know if I was strong enough to even get through a class. Turns out…Travis is a consummate professional- he has a deep knowledge of his field and is dedicated to our safety and success. He makes a point of getting to know everyone. He has endless modifications up his sleeve so that everyone can do some version of every exercise. 

He actively keeps an eye on everyone and takes the time to provide individualized feedback to help improve form and to ensure the best and most effective class experience for each of us. We are the happy beneficiaries of the community he has built and the massive amount of work he has put into creating an incredible fitness experience. Also, and importantly, the music is rad and sometimes he brings his dogs! If you had told me 6 months ago that I’d be sad to miss a strength training class, there is a 0% chance that I would’ve believed you. And yet here we are. Thanks so much Travis!
