The History of Physicality
The Beginning
Physicality's origin story started in 2008 when John Grohol graduated from college with a Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science focused in Physical Therapy. Having done his internship sitting in on multiple surgery operations and following those patients through their rehabilitation process, there was a clear piece to this puzzle that was missing. Instead of continuing to graduate school and receiving a Doctorate, John traveled west to Los Angeles...
The Growth
Shortly after landing in L.A. he started his personal training journey at the Hollywood location of 24 Hour Fitness. After building a successful customer base consisting of a wide range of clients from fitness beginners to athletes and celebrities, there still seemed to be one nagging consistency that kept coming back. No place had a focus on the rehabilitation window from when someone finished their allotted physical therapy sessions to the time they felt comfortable working out on their own.
John started his first fitness company, JG Physical Wellness, in 2011 precisely to bridge this gap. The idea of sending a client off on their own with a stack of papers showing the exercises they did and a "Good Luck" handshake because their insurance ran out should never mean someone is put at risk of re-injury...
The Now
In 2023, John created Physicality as a rebranding of JG Physical Wellness to cover the full spectrum of client needs. The hands on approach doesn't need to be lost in a virtual world, whether you're recovering from an injury or wanting to take your fitness to the next level. So no matter your your current state of health and wellness, there is a fitness plan for you to achieve your goals.
