The people on the floor
Meet the True Grit coaching team
Owners, trainers, front desk, and one very good dog. These are the people who will know your name by your second class.
Owner
TRAVIS GRIMM, OWNER AT TRUE GRIT FITNESS IN EDMOND, OK
Travis founded True Grit Fitness on a conviction that a gym should coach people, not just house equipment. He owns the programming, sets the standard on the floor, and is a Hyrox Training specialist that will get you in the best shape of your life.
Travis trains with the same intensity he expects from the floor. He holds himself to the standard first, then coaches members to match it, whether that means a heavier lift, a faster Hyrox split, or simply showing up on the days you do not feel like it.
Co-Owner & Coach
JORDAN MCGUIRE, CO-OWNER AND HEAD TRAINER AT TRUE GRIT FITNESS
Jordan co-owns True Grit and runs point on the strength side of the program. Progressive overload, honest numbers, and long-term tracking, and Jordan is the reason members can look back six months and see exactly how much stronger they got.
Outside of class, Jordan coaches personal training clients focused on building real muscle and putting weight on the bar. Jordan will keep you accountable, get you in shape, and have you never looking back at your pre-True Grit weight ever again.
Trainer
Laura Billiot, Group Fitness Trainer & Personal Trainer in Edmond
Laura's classes are the ones people bring their nervous friend to. She has an unusual gift for making a first-timer feel capable in the first ten minutes, without ever making the workout easier than it should be.
She specializes in fat loss and metabolic conditioning, and she coaches nutrition habits that survive real life: kids, jobs, travel and all.
Trainer
Corbi Hodge, Trainer and Class Coach at True Grit Fitness
Corbi brings the tempo. Her sessions are relentless in the best way, and she has an eye for the small technique fixes that unlock a lift someone has been stuck on for weeks.
Members consistently call Corbi the coach who pushed them past what they thought their ceiling was.
Trainer
DEVAN BARGER, HYBRID PERFORMANCE AND SPORTS & ATHLETE TRAINER AT TGF
Devan works with the hybrid crowd: runners who need strength, lifters who need engines, and anyone training for a Hyrox race. If you have a start line on your calendar, Devan builds the plan that gets you to it.
Devan also coaches the on-ramp for members trying their first Hyrox Sprint at True Grit.
Assistant
Mandi Thompson, Member Experience & Gym Operations
Mandi keeps True Grit running. Memberships, schedules, event sign-ups, the front desk, the questions you were embarrassed to ask. That is all her, and she makes it easy.
If you emailed the gym and got a fast, human answer, you have met Mandi.
Gym Mascot
Charlie Grimm, Official Gym Dog and Morale Officer
Charlie is Travis's dog and the undisputed mascot of True Grit Fitness. He attends more classes than most members, supervises every warm-up, and has never once missed a chance to greet someone at the door.
Rest days are his specialty. Petting him counts as recovery work.
