FitMe Wellness

This year has tested our Sales Manager and “morning guy” Tom Craig in ways most of us can only imagine.

A botched and aborted hip surgery left him unable to work for weeks and caused a painful throat infection. But instead of giving up, Tom moved his care to OrthoIllinois — where their team handled his unique anatomical challenges with skill and compassion, leading to a successful second surgery.

Along the way, he also faced repeated illnesses while traveling to see his grandkids in North Carolina and endured the heartbreak of losing his beloved mother.

Through all of it, when he’s been able, Tom rushes back to his oasis—FitMe Wellness. Here, he finds purpose, friendship, and the community he has worked so hard to build.

Every morning, Tom reminds us that strength is not just about fitness, but about resilience, grace, and the people we surround ourselves with.

We’re grateful to have Tom leading our team and inspiring our members. 💪

Grip strength is one of the strongest predictors of overall health.

• Studies show lower grip strength is linked to higher risk of heart disease, mobility issues, and earlier death.
• In fact, some research suggests grip strength may predict longevity better than blood pressure.

GOOD NEWS: Grip strength is trainable- lifting weights, carrying heavy things, doing pull ups and farmers carries can help.

If you are curious about how to improve grip strength, reach out and one of our award winning trainers can recommend exercises to help improve your grip strength 💪🏼

Today was a milestone for our family—and for FitMe.

It was Will’s last day working side-by-side with his little brother Alex before heading off to Marquette University to begin his freshman year.

For as long as I can remember, these two have been inseparable—sharing school days, walking the dog, and greeting our members together at the front desk. They’ve always been a team.

Now, for the first time, Alex will be here without his big brother by his side. It’s a big change for our family, but also such an exciting next chapter for Will.

We are so proud of the man Will has become, and so grateful for the way he’s touched our FitMe community. And we know Alex will carry forward that same warmth and kindness that makes everyone feel at home here.

Please help us send Will off with all the love and good wishes he deserves—and show Alex some extra encouragement as he takes the reins.
