We are RYZE+GRIND Fitness

To our beloved Fitness Family past, present and future …

Let me first introduce myself. For those who don’t know, or remember me, I am Todd Dery, the managing partner at RYZE+GRIND Fitness on Chagrin Boulevard in Woodmere, Ohio.

I started my fitness journey just over a decade ago, later than the average person. I stepped into a group fitness studio in this very space when it first opened, ready to jump right in. Over the next five plus years, my love for group fitness continued to grow and blossom. It became part of my DNA. I found that hopping on a treadmill or elliptical machine with an ipad binge watching a show, or with music on my headphones, just wasn’t doing it for me. I needed the group fitness atmosphere, “teammates” in classes working hard with me and continuing to push me out of my comfort zone. After five years of being a regular, I became a group fitness instructor. Over these years as a customer and as an instructor, friendships have been made, bonds have been formed, and a community was born in this special place.

In this same space in Woodmere, we are continuing this community vibe, this fit family, this tribe, this clan, under a new name — RYZE+GRIND Fitness. I’ve spent the last three months apprenticing as the studio General Manager. I quickly realized that this has become my calling and I am happy to have become the managing partner. But the truth is, this isn’t about me. This is about, WE. I am nothing without this team. The incredible staff has all committed to keeping this community of hard work, sweat, laughs, and smiles going. We want to make it bigger and better! Whether that is an intense 6am GRIND+DEFINE interval training class with Tiffany French, a hardcore RYZE+GRIND Bootcamp with Beth Anne Lazaro, a energetic and fun GRIND PM Spin with Brandy Pasela, an early morning RYZE AM spin with Rachael Thompson, RoseAda White’s exclusive LFT weights program, or a REVOLUTION Bike Bootcamp with me, our team of incredible fitness pros will do everything in our power to make our community better physically and mentally. I could have named every single one of our amazing team members — you have my word that you will leave any RYZE+GRIND Fitness class with a sense of accomplishment and community.

Over the month of August, you will be seeing some cosmetic changes on the fly. Mirrors and fun lighting are being added in the spin room. New wall murals will adorn the walls in the spin and bootcamp rooms. Fresh paint will cover the other walls. Signing up for classes will remain easy. Between our new website, Mindbody, ClassPass and our soon to be completed branded app, you have a multitude of ways to join us. Or pop on in for a drop in class. Come the beginning of September, we will have a Grand Opening, which we will have details on soon — including some new classes and a revised schedule.

Our goal is to keep this vibe going. This is a place where everyone is welcome. A true inclusive community. What has been built over the last eight years in this space has been nothing short of remarkable. Our team is here to build off of that momentum. With all of this said, we cannot do it without you, our fit fam. If you haven’t visited us in a while, we invite you to come back and see it for yourself. If you are a regular, as always, we thank you for your continued patronage and for supporting us. Our pledge to you is to make this community even better than before.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at info@ryzeandgrind.com. For those who know me, you know I am happy to engage with any and all. I look forward to seeing you in our studio soon!

Peace and Love, Peace and Love,
