Our History
About Us
Get Strong is about more than just fitness.
Our Roots run deep.
Nicaragua
Nicaragua is the first international country Get Strong started in.
Starting here showed us what’s possible internationally. Get Strong still has constant mission trips to Nicaragua as a part of our ongoing international efforts.
Our Mission
Our purpose is crystal clear—to make disciples of Jesus Christ.
This is the driving force behind everything we do. We are committed to empowering individuals to embrace and live out the teachings of Christ. Join us in this dynamic mission as we transform lives and impact the world for His glory.

Testimonies
Our program changes lives
Take a look at just a few of the many testimonies we’ve gathered over the years.
“This is what it means to walk with him…”
“Most of us have been reading the stories of the Bible over the course of our life but, this time it is different. The discussions are helping us slow down and apply it to our everyday actions and struggles. It really puts into perspective the trust we must have in our faith just like the people in these stories!
Our group is noticing that God is becoming a natural part of our daily interactions with others; family, co-workers, strangers, etc. There is nothing forced about it. Ahhh ha, this is what it means to ‘Walk With Him.’ Such an awesome feeling! We were all called into this group to grow stronger in our faith and God has delivered on that and more!“

“It has been a blessing”
“What started from my own desire to get back into the Word and answer the call to make disciples last year has turned into 17 guys in 4 different groups doing Get Strong in my gym!
It started with one group of 4 just 4 months ago, and with Todd’s help and through God’s work it has quadrupled in size practically overnight. We all battle and sweat together early in the gym and then gather and discuss the Word after. It has been a blessing for the guys involved and their families as well as the entire gym community! Thank you Todd and the Get Strong team!“

“We will be coming back!”
I have felt God calling me to get out of my comfort zone for some time. I had been feeling a nudge from the Holy Spirit to go on a missions trip and when the opportunity was presented to go to Nicaragua with our church to serve the Get Strong Ministry I decided it was time. At first I was going to go solo, but after some prayer and discussion with my wife, I decided to also bring my 11 year old son Alex. I felt it was important for him to also get outside of his comfort zone and see what a blessed life God has given us. This trip was amazing! Scott and the whole crew were such a joy to be with. The Holy Spirit was felt all over the week and we could feel God using us as the hands and feet of Jesus. We went feeling like we were going to impact the community we were going to serve, and I left feeling like we were the ones more impacted than them. I know we served them well and showed them the love of Jesus for the week we were there but it was also eye opening for us to see how much joy they had with having so little in comparison to our lives here at home. It was truly a soul moving trip that will impact and shape Alex and I’s life going forward. Not to mention for the week we were there we worked out twice a day and ate like we had never eaten before. So we left feeling closer to God, stronger spiritually and physically, and heavier because of all the great food we ate. We will be coming back!
