Jared Leija
Coach at GRITX

Jared knows the power of hard-earned change. After spending much of his childhood and early adult life overweight, he challenged himself in his 20s to get healthier, lose weight, and keep pushing toward becoming stronger every year since.

Outside the gym, he’s a mobile mechanic, adventure guide, husband, and new dad who loves spending time outdoors camping, canyoneering, and off-roading.

Jared connects most with people chasing something bigger than fitness alone — becoming a better spouse, parent, worker, or proving to themselves they’re capable of more. His coaching style is laid back until it’s time to push, helping people break through mental barriers and discover their next level. His goal is to help people realize they’re stronger than they think.
