Built from the ground up, one athlete at a time.

Ft. Ben Fit was born in 2013 when David Salvidar opened the doors under the name Turbo CrossFit — a small gym with a big vision: create a space where like-minded people could come together, work hard, and discover what they’re truly capable of, physically and mentally.

In 2015, John & Kali joined as co-owners and quickly doubled the facility’s footprint with Craig Berry. The community kept growing. In 2020, the gym rebranded as Ft. Ben Fit with new ownership joining the crew, The Gruelichs + Shupes — a fresh chapter built on the same foundation: community first, always.

In 2021, we took the biggest step yet — purchasing our own building right on Fort Benjamin Harrison itself, putting us closer to the community we serve and giving us a home that’s truly ours.

Community First

We train together and we grow together. The person next to you isn’t your competition — they’re your crew.

Coaching Over Machines

Every single class is led by a certified coach. Real guidance, real accountability — not a screen telling you what to do.

Scalability

Every workout is adapted to every athlete’s ability. Day one or year ten — there’s a place for you here, exactly as you are.

Transparency

We show you what we do and why it works. No gimmicks, no mystery programming — just honest, effective training.

Long-Term Health

We’re not here to get you ready for a 6-week challenge. We’re here to help you build a body and mindset that lasts a lifetime.

Your Place

We want Ft. Ben to be the place you actually look forward to. Not just a gym — your social space, your community, your home base.
