The GTS Story
From a call to move to a partner in wellness.
Founded in 2020 in Bowie, Maryland, Get the Steppin Fitness Group began with a simple belief: movement should be welcoming, energizing, and accessible to the people it serves.
In the midst of uncertainty, Get the Steppin Fitness Group emerged as a beacon of hope. What began as a personal goal became a dynamic online step challenge, bringing together more than 100 participants across the East Coast, Midwest, and West Coast. Created in response to isolation, the challenge grew into a fitness community that crosses geographic boundaries.
That spirit still shapes GTS today. We bring fitness and wellness into workplaces, schools, senior programs, municipal partnerships, community events, and personal training. Our programs combine professional instruction, thoughtful coordination, and a community-first approach—helping people build healthy routines and organizations create experiences that bring people together.
What guides us
Movement with purpose. Wellness built around people.
Our vision
Communities where people of every age and stage can move, connect, and thrive.
