SISU defined by Wikipedia 

1. "is a Finnish word generally meaning determination, bravery, and resilience. However, the word is widely considered to lack a proper translation into any other language. Sisu is about taking action against the odds and displaying courage and resoluteness in the face of adversity."

We named our company Sisu because we believe in getting out of our comfort zone and facing our fears head on whatever they are.  The perseverance and determination that is developed by pushing the body is something we feel everyone should experience.  Overall our goal is to pave the way for you to better yourself physically, emotionally, and mentally.

We have two Coaches right now at Sisu Mobile Fitness James Tatum and Steven Brown.
