Welcome!

Hi!

I’m so excited to reconnect with you! Whether we crossed paths at one of my gyms, during a Hammer Race, or elsewhere, thank you for being part of this journey.

I wanted to welcome you personally to the Fitness First Report. This project is close to my heart, and here’s what it’s all about:

I distill insightful, long-form content—think big ideas, valuable strategies, compelling stories, and three-plus-hour podcasts—into 1000-word blog posts that save you time while keeping you informed. I aim to deliver value that fits into your busy life.

I am doing this because learning and growth should be accessible and enjoyable, even with the demands of work, family, and everything else.

Thank you for trusting me with your inbox. It means the world to me, and I’m committed to making every email worth your time.

Look for the first post soon. If you have suggestions, feedback, or just want to say hi, hit reply. I’d love to hear from you.

Gratefully,
Joshua Grenell
