ABOUT.

Grit Strength and Conditioning was born from a gap in the Muskoka fitness scene that our founder, Brock Heshka, couldn’t ignore. At the time, there was no local facility offering the level of coaching and training that high-performing athletes needed—forcing many to travel over an hour just to access proper support.

That’s where Grit came in. Built to meet the needs of dedicated athletes, Grit quickly became a hub for those looking to elevate their performance and gain a competitive edge. But as word spread and demand grew, our mission expanded. We found ourselves working not only with athletes, but with everyday individuals who were ready to train with purpose and see real results.

In late 2021, we took the next big step: launching our brand-new, 6,800 sq. ft., state-of-the-art facility. More than just a gym, it’s a space designed to bring together training, yoga, fitness, and wellness under one roof—offering Muskoka a truly unique and empowering experience.
