History
Established in 2009.
Gorilla Pit was the dream of one man who started out in his garage and expanded it to the first gym in Mentor, OH. After almost a year of being open, that man contacted me to run his athletic training program. I bring years of experience training high school, college and professional athletes to the Northeast Ohio area. In early 2011 we outgrew the Mentor location and decided to move to North Ridgeville and take our brand of training to the west side.
