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.

Some worked—for a while.

Until the tracking felt obsessive. The workouts felt punishing.

And life got busy… so your health slid down the list again.

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

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 The Motivation-Built Body, 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.

Where has this been all my life?!

“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.”

"I can bend down and tie my shoes! It’s been awhile since I could do such a simple task and I did it without even thinking about it. But what’s more important is my knee pain has gone away which gave me a noticeable limp."
