Luke Sanders

Head Coach + Personal Trainer
Hometown: Nashville, TN

*Cool Hand
*The MMA Champion
*80/20 Rule

Luke is an 8-time UFC fighter with two MMA World Championship titles. He earned the UFC Knockout of the Night award twice during his professional career. His championship resume dates back to the age of seven—winning national titles in BMX, a state championship in high school wrestling, and two state championships in high school hockey.

Luke brings over 15 years of coaching, teaching and personal training experience – including wrestling, Brazilian jiu jitsu, MMA, kickboxing, and strength and conditioning. As a personal trainer and coach, Luke loves helping others find their inner grit and leave the gym feeling empowered.

When he’s not at the gym, you can find Luke hanging with his family – Jordan, Jagger, Riley, and their pup Bucks.

Brittany Ciullo

Coach

*Thai Kick Queen
*Bills by a billion #BillsMafia
*Balanced with beer & ice cream

Ebb, flow, and roll with the punches is Britt’s life mantra and quite literally her power in the Sweat Box. Having trained on the heavy bag for the last 4 years, Britt embraces the kickboxing game and will always challenge you from all angles.

As an elementary teacher by day, Britt knows the importance of dedication, rigor, reward, and frustration… enter kickboxing. “Fitness in general is an incredible release, especially when you get to hit shit and lift heavy.” Britt has experience in Olympic-style weightlifting and Muay Thai kickboxing, resulting in one GRITTY ass workout.

With OG New York attitude and southern charm influence, Britt will push you to your limits, insist on one more burpee, and proceed with a smile.

Tiffany Dennis

Coach
Hometown: Mt. Pleasant, OG 843

*Coach formally known as Britney
*Gimme gimme MORE tattoos
*Clemson Football, leopard print everything, Craft IPA, and Trevor Lawrence hair

Fight for what’s right! Yassssss! Coach Tiff enters the sweat box with a fearless attitude and a bad bitch vibe. If you are with her, you train with passion, intensity, and integrity. She’s got the energy and knowledge we all crave as we step into the training zone. A natural leader with over 15 years in the industry, Tiffany will push you to be your best and cheer you on with each step.

She’s a Gritty Mom and wife, the life of the party, and our BritTiffany. Level up and come train with one of Charleston’s favorites. We want YOU in our Grit Box Fam with Coach Tiff and all of our Grit Coaches. #FreeBritney and #traingritty

DYLAN SIDES

Kickboxing and Bootcamp Coach | Hometown: Goose Creek, SC

*BOOMSHAKALAKA
*2020 Charleston’s Choice Best Fitness Trainer
*Passionately pursue your vision every damn day and you WILL make your dreams a reality!

Dylan is powered by helping others achieve their goals. While playing collegiate tennis, he discovered his passion for fitness. He followed his heart, which led him to leave school and obtain fitness certifications to kickstart his personal training career back home in the Lowcountry.

He is now an integral member of the Grit Box Fitness team. Surrounded by others eager to spread the love of fitness, Dylan describes his team as “like-minded, positive people.” Every day he’s inspired by his team and clients who continually push him and teach him to become the best version of himself.

Dylan’s infectious demeanor both on and off the fitness floor makes classes and conversation unique and memorable. He lives by the mindset of: Dedicate yourself to make your dreams a reality. One step, one day, one percent at a time.

Jordan Bates

Coach
Hometown: Charleston, SC

*Most likely to appear on Survivor
*Team Burpee
*Chips & Queso is her love language

Health and fitness have transformed Jordan’s life for the better, which motivates her to help others experience their own unique transformation through fitness. In the Sweat Box, she’s your number 1 hype girl – motivating you to be the best version of yourself and find your inner confidence. Don’t be surprised if she gets you to squeeze in one more burpee before the round ends.

Rather than have an end goal and capping your success, Jordan thinks you should always strive to become a better version of who you are right now, to have more passion than you have right now, and to dream bigger than you do right now.

Things don’t happen to you, they happen FOR you.

Maggie Riggs

Coach + Personal Trainer
Hometown: Gulf Breeze, FL

*The one that has watched every episode of Friends 100x
*No-bullshit mentality
*Your #1 hype girl

You can’t teach GRIT, you must find it within you, never lose it, and share it with the world! And that’s exactly what Maggie did when she finally made the jump to become a fitness trainer and coach.

Maggie grew up playing and competing in just about every sport you can name. She played D1 soccer at the University of Florida and a couple seasons of semi-pro soccer, but knew she always wanted to work in the fitness industry.

As a personal trainer and coach, Maggie loves helping others reach their full potential and fitness goals. Seeing people thrive and achieve more is one of the most rewarding experiences for her. Maggie will teach you how to be comfortable with being uncomfortable – get ready to show up and put in 100% effort!

Kelly Kennedy

Coach + Personal Trainer
Hometown: Greensboro, NC

*Certified Booty-Kicker
*Lives life to the fullest
*Loves Chopped on the Food Network … and food in general

Fitness has always been a huge part of Kelly’s life – for both the physical and mental health benefits. Whether it’s going hard at the gym or pushing herself to try new things, she loves a challenge and believes that life begins outside of the comfort zone.

One of her favorite things about fitness? The Grit Gang! The love and support in the fitness community motivates her on a daily basis.

Kelly encourages everyone to know their worth because being female is powerful! She brings that attitude to every Grit Box class – get ready to be pushed outside of your comfort zone and find your inner grit!
