OUR STORY...OR, MORE PRECISELY, OUR MISSION

The GYS story started over a decade ago when Cassie Lapple, Founder and Fitness Coach of GYS, was an intern at the Naval Academy. She loved the feel and environment that came with being at a school that trained people to become warriors. This is where she first saw some of the attributes in action that would come to signify the GYS brand, such as strength, discipline, and camaraderie. She knew at that point that she eventually wanted to open a training facility named Got Your Six, which, in military parlance, literally means "I got your back", and that she wanted the Mission of that facility to be to support military vets and first responders through regular charity events, partnerships with like-minded non-profits, and donations. While the training facility is still some time in the future, she is launching her Personal Training business, which includes in-person Personal Training and online training options, to help bring that decade-long vision to reality.
