Your transformation starts here.
A personal trainer isn't just for getting in incredible shape. It's for the person who wants to squeeze every delicious drop out of life to live vibrantly with pain-free mobility, confidence, and strength.
Accountability, workouts, and nutrition plans are only part of the journey. This is coaching that meets you where you are and guides you forward, even when the roadblocks appear and life gets messy.
My Story, Your Legacy
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, as well as 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 my knowledge with my unique lived experience to become a Lifestyle Coach.
If you’re ready to make health feel simple, supported, and sustainable, I’m ready to walk with you.
Blue Skies,
Kalish
Experience
Uncovers your blind spots where you feel you’ve “tried everything” and still can’t move the needle in your health
Overcomes roadblocks that keep you spinning right back to where you started every time they pop up
Finds the energy leaks that drain your motivation
Creates actionable steps around fitness & nutrition that fits your schedule
To build your desired lifestyle that supports you as the person who is absolutely worthy of resilience, longevity, and vitality.

"I can give someone the best fitness and nutrition plan out there, but it doesn't do anyone much good if they get in their own way. Few coaches in the fitness industry understand how to support their clients in this capacity."
-Kalish

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.
My unique approach is my signature M.O.V.E. Method
Motivate | Optimize | Visualize | Embody
Many health and fitness coaches rely on cheerleading tactics or "tough love", which results in a high failure rate for both the client and coach within a few short months. Roadblocks, self-doubt, and even self-sabotage are tricky issues that can't be solved with a "You can do it!" or "You need to want it bad enough!"
It's done through finding your 'why'; the thing that anchors you to your desires for a full life and body transformation.

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:
Build healthy habits that run in the background—so consistency doesn’t require constant effort.
Cut the mental friction that makes change feel like a fight.
Stop starting over by creating structure that holds—even when life is full.
Create self-led momentum that keeps showing up feel like self-respect, not pressure.

“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."
Absolutely welcome. We begin from your starting line.
Totally fine. Plans adapt to your environment.
Most programs burn you out. This one supports.
Smart fitness programming that gives the most results with least amount of effort that doesn't plateau within a couple months.
A deep understanding of chronic pain and how to alleviate it or resolve it altogether.
Always included. Life and joy are non-negotiable here.
You’ll sense energy and confidence shifts within weeks; physical results follow—but sustainably and steadily. If chronic pain is an issue, clients often report relief within the first few weeks.
That’s our core focus. Most people don't understand that discipline and willpower are born of deep motivation, and therefore don't know how to grow it. We build your ability to show up, even on the days you don't feel like it.
20–60 minutes, 2–3x/week for workouts + smart habits
Weekly check-ins
An app to keep you on track and conveniently tracks workouts
