GencityFit’s History
The Founder…
GencityFit was founded in 2016 by Gentry Westbrook. Gentry grew up in Columbus, OH & as a pivotal part of her teenage years, struggled with an eating disorder in High School. From lots of contributing factors from environmental, to perfectionist thinking, to not having the full knowledge & understanding of nutrition & her body at the time, she faced difficult times with her mental & physical health. Into her college years at The Ohio State University, she had undergone years of therapy, nutrition counseling & overcame her personal struggles with unhealthy mental & physical philosophies & adapted NEW healthy philosophies. This was when she became passionate about treating her body in a positive way & started diving into weight lifting, nutrition & psychology. She graduated The Ohio State University in 2015 with her Bachelors in Psychology. Upon graduation, she became an ISSA Certified Personal Trainer & in July 2016 she started GencityFit to start helping others achieve realistic health & aesthetic goals in an enjoyable & sustainable way. Her passion for psychology paired with nutrition & training, led her passion to help people physically, mentally & emotionally.
The Early Years…
From 2016 to 2020, GencityFit was an in-person training service by Gentry. She offered 1-1 & group training sessions in Columbus, OH. While she enjoyed interacting with her clients in the gym & helping to teach proper form & pushing her clients in a live space, she felt a large part of her service was missing. She knew that people needed a holistic service including nutrition, habit changes, mindset shifts, progress adjustments & overall support. She also believed that fitness goals could be met without having to step foot in the gym or relying on a trainer for sessions. She wanted to empower people to develop long-term changes & solutions in a more flexible space. With her long hours spent in the gym, she found it hard to adapt this new, holistic service & grow her business into what it is today. But in 2020 when COVID rocked the whole world, it set her up for the best possibility for GencityFit.
The Evolution…
“A full service that could met each individual where they’re at & take them where they want to go. ”
In April 2020, with gyms shutting down & no in-person training work to be done, Gentry realized this was her time to evolve the business into the vision she had in mind. A service that is fully online, available to anyone in the US (& now worldwide). Flexible to create routines & a lifestyle depending on each individual, structured with nutrition guidance, training & movement programming, habit & mindset shifts & high level support & accountability. Over the years, Gentry has hired more team members, helped thousands of people, polished their systems, processes, policies & are committed to continue growing!
