John Sam Steele

GRITFit Bootcamp Coach and Personal Trainer

*Resident amateur dancer
*Creator of randomly-themed workouts
*Former Department Store Model

Coach John Sam is our model-turned-coach. He ditched his photoshoot days to instead help people feel badass for their own photos.

With a degree in exercise science from the University of Kentucky, he specializes in functional strength training (and listening to heavy metal music). His classes focus on proper form and technique, ensuring everyone receives a safe, results-driven workout. His passion for high-energy strength and conditioning means every class packs a sweat-pumping workout in 45 minutes.

Coach John Sam is a very vocal coach, often yelling “YOU’RE KILLIN’ IT” and “LET’S GOOO” during class.

When he’s not working out or coaching, you can find John Sam eating Reese's Peanut Butter Cups while watching Stranger Things. His favorite “person” to hang out with is his dog Bodhi.

ANDREW “FIG” NEWTON

Personal Trainer

*Favorite food is not Fig Newtons (unfortunately)
*First album was Jock Jams Vol.2
*Sips on PBR regularly

Born and raised in the Lowcountry, Andrew “Fig” Newton joined the GRIT BOX team in December 2018. His training style focuses on strength, conditioning, and athletics.

Fig knows building strength is a crucial aspect of a healthy life. By training people to shred pounds or build muscle, he helps provide his clients keys to a new life. He enjoys training fighters and wants to train tactical athletes in the future.

When he’s not pushing his clients to work up a sweat, you can find Fig enjoying a PBR, hanging with his wife, and listening to Rock ‘n Roll, blues, folk, and bluegrass music.
