Get Bored Get Fit

Temporary Closure!

Hello GBGF Family,

This is Coach Mario, and I wanted to personally reach out and keep you all informed on everything happening at Get Bored Get Fit.

We will be temporarily closed from April 27th through May 11th as we begin transitioning our lobby and fitness center and downsizing our space. This shift is intentional—it allows us to create a more focused, personal, and efficient training environment while also keeping our operations strong and sustainable moving forward.

Over the past year, we’ve faced a number of challenges, both inside and outside the gym. With a smaller staff and currently only one full-time coach—myself—it’s become clear that the best way to continue delivering the level of coaching and consistency you deserve is to simplify, refocus, and build from a stronger foundation.

On a personal note, this year has also come with some heavy moments, including the loss of my brother and serious health challenges within my family. I share that not for sympathy, but for transparency—because many of you have been with me for years, and I value being real with the people who support this space.

During this closure:

All scheduled lessons will be rescheduled or refunded
We will be reorganizing the space and preparing for a stronger return

Also, my birthday falls on May 1st, and I’ll be taking that weekend to spend some much-needed time with friends and family as well.

I truly appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued support during this transition. This isn’t a step back—it’s a reset to make sure we can keep growing, improving, and showing up for you at a high level.

More updates will be shared as we get closer to reopening.

Thank you for being part of Get Bored Get Fit.

– Coach Mario

Get Bored Get Fit was built on one belief: when you clear the mind of “can’t,” the body will follow.

This gym has always been more than a place to train. It’s a second home where kids build confidence, face fears, and learn resilience—on and off the floor.

This past year has tested us deeply. We lost my brother, a loss that forever changed our family. Now, my mom is courageously fighting cancer. While navigating grief, hospital visits, and uncertainty, we’ve continued to show up for our athletes and protect this space.

This GoFundMe exists to help keep Get Bored Get Fit standing—covering essential costs so we can continue serving the families who rely on this gym.

If you’ve ever seen a child conquer a fear or leave this space believing in themselves, you understand why this place matters. Any support—whether donating or sharing—means more than words can express.

Clear your mind of “can’t.”

One goal.
Five one-hour private lessons.
Countless reps. Some falls. A lot of trust.

Hilly came in wanting a standing back tuck and walked out with proof that consistency + coaching works. She listened, did her homework, trusted the process, and showed up every time.

This is what happens when you clear your mind of “can’t” and put the work in.
If you’ve got a goal, we’ve got the roadmap.
