ABOUT US
KarTTia Fitness is designed to train all ages and abilities. Whether you are a current student-athlete, former athlete, or retired. We provide an atmosphere that is engaging and accepting of all ability levels. KarTTia Fitness's mission is to create a community that loves and accepts all people. It is much more than a workout, its an experience that serves the heart.
FAITH
As a FAITH based Fitness Studio we knew the physical benefits of a "healthy heart" but there are more mental and emotional benefits to get plugged into a healthy fitness community.
ACCOUNTABILITY
We are firm believers that in order to change actions into habits, and habits into lifestyles, we need ACCOUNTABILITY. We placed the TT to signify Training Together. Everything's better with a partner!
INTEGRITY
We wanted KarTTia Fitness to be much more than a great workout, we wanted to operate with a level of INTEGRITY. Our members and staff are people that you would want to spend time with outside the studio. We are committed to ensuring that every situation is communicated thoroughly and with a level of customer satisfaction that is uncommon.
SERVANTHOOD
At the root of all great customer service experience, the fundamental level is SERVANTHOOD. At KarTTia Fitness we have a desire to take service to a whole new level. With our Community Service initiatives, Training and Nutrition Programs, and Social Events we strive to love our community that is an uncommon standard.
TT stands for Training Together. We take teamwork seriously, as they say it "takes a whole village."
KarTTia (Car-dee-uh) is derived from the Greek word Kardia, which means heart.
Fitness goes beyond physical here. We believe in having deep connections.
We are serious about this heart thing.
