Train the body that motivation Built - Not the One willpower abandons
You’ve tried “getting serious” before.
The gym challenges. The strict diets. The quick-fix programs.

Until the tracking felt obsessive. The workouts felt punishing.
And life got busy… so your health slid down the list again.

Not because you have to.
Because it fits you so well, you can’t imagine going back.

My Story, Your Legacy
From the freefall of skydiving to the climb out of cancer...here’s what I’ve learned about building a life you love.
My name's Kalish—and helping people has always been my north star.
From packing parachutes in my skydiving days to shaping how families lived as a designer, to serving as a Mayor, my path has been anything but ordinary. I’ve been a military spouse, a mom, a small business owner—and a fighter.
I’ve battled autoimmune disease and cancer. And when I lost my dad to cancer, I made a promise: health would never be a luxury—it would be a mission.
That mission became True Grit Fitness—built on loss, grit, and purpose. As a certified Personal Trainer, Nutrition Coach, and Health Mindset Coach, I blend science, soul, and structure to help you reclaim your health, rewrite your story, and build a legacy you’re proud of.
If you’re ready to make health feel simple, supported, and sustainable—I’m ready to walk with you.
Blue Skies,
Kalish

Your Lifestyle Audit
A 60 Minute Call That:

To build your desired lifestyle that supports you as the person who is absolutely worthy of resilience, longevity, and vitality.
Why Every Plan You've Tried Hasn't Stuck
Inspiration Sparks Action. Then Life Walks In...and Motivation Walks Out
You’ve been there — fired up on day one, already picturing your “after” photo.
Then the real work begins. Life gets messy.
~The gym loses its shine when you’d rather scroll.
~Girls’ night blows up your calorie goal with wine and laughter.
~That “hardcore” plan you swore by now feels like a second job.
~And every time, you promise yourself you’ll do better… but the cycle repeats.
The problem? You’ve been chasing every new thing hoping it's the answer.
The fix? Build the habits, mindset, and simple systems that make health feel easy — even when life is busy.
Through my M.O.V.E. method, I’ll teach you how to get in shape and keep it — without obsession, burnout, or starting over.
Two paths. Same destination — a body, mind, and lifestyle you’re proud to own.
Whether you want a completely tailored plan or thrive with the energy of a community, both options give you the tools, support, and momentum to finally stop starting over.
1:1 Coaching
Your plan. Your pace. Your breakthrough.
Personalized workouts, nutrition that fits your life, and mindset shift trainings that transform “I should” into “I can’t wait.”
Finally, health that fits you—not the other way around.

The Invisible Effort Method
If consistency always slips through your fingers, it’s not a willpower issue—it’s a systems issue. Let’s fix that.
Inside The Invisible Effort Method™, you’ll learn how to:

“If it wasn’t for Coach Kalish working with me I don’t believe I would have made it through the Hearst Castle Tour. I was able to climb steps, do down steps and I didn’t even stumble. I haven’t felt this strong in years. I was really proud of myself!
My chronic pain has gone away and people are noticing a change.”
