Meet Your Trainer
Hey! I’m Lexie Peden, owner and Lead Trainer at GRIT Fitness! I’m a wife, mom of two, former teacher and coach, and someone who truly LOVES helping people realize just how strong and capable they are!
​
Fitness has always been a big part of my life, but becoming a mom gave it a whole new meaning. I know firsthand what it feels like to put yourself on the back burner, lose confidence, and struggle to find time for YOU. Strength training helped me find myself again, and now I get to help others do the same!
​
As the Lead Trainer at GRIT, I’m passionate about creating a training environment where everyone feels comfortable, supported, and challenged to grow. One of my favorite things about personal training is that no two people are the same!I love getting to know my clients, understanding their goals, and creating programs that actually fit their bodies, abilities, and lifestyles. Whether you're wanting to lose weight, build muscle, improve mobility, regain strength, or simply feel better doing everyday things, I want to help you get there!

You don't have to be in shape to get started. You don't have to know what you're doing. You just have to be willing to show up, and I'll be right there cheering you on every step of the way!
Let's get stronger, build confidence, and find out what you're capable of!

John Peden
Hey, I’m John Peden, co-owner and trainer at GRIT Fitness! Outside of the gym, I’m a husband, dad of two, and farmer right here in Northwest Kansas.
​
Growing up with a wrestling background, I learned early on that strength isn't built overnight. It takes discipline, consistency, and a willingness to work. I've spent countless hours in the weight room over the years, and lifting has become something I genuinely enjoy and take pride in.
​
My approach to training is pretty straightforward. Work hard, train smart, and make every rep count. I enjoy helping people develop proper lifting techniques, build muscle, increase strength, and push beyond what they thought they could do. I believe in having a solid plan, staying consistent, and letting the results speak for themselves.
Whether you're looking to get serious about lifting or just want someone to show you the ropes, I'm here to help you get the most out of your time in the gym. You can expect hard work, encouragement, and a few challenges along the way!
​
Around here, we believe in earning your progress, one rep at a time. Let's get to work!
