Dante
FOUNDER
I started Lift Through Life to create more than just an athletic apparel brand—it’s a movement built on resilience, growth, and community. Inspired by my fitness journey during a 2022–2023 deployment with the U.S. Army Reserves, I found strength and clarity through training. Fitness became my anchor through life’s toughest transitions, helping me overcome challenges and achieve milestones like joining the 1,000lb club. Lift Through Life exists to support others in their pursuit of physical and mental growth—lifting not only yourself, but those around you.

LEAD AMBASSADOR
As the Lead Ambassador of Lift Through Life, I’ve helped build a brand focused on self-improvement and community—not just great apparel. Fitness has taught me discipline, routine, and a love for the grind, pushing me to reach goals like joining the 1,000 lb club. One phrase that drives me: “Progress comes a long way when you’re starving.”

Being part of Lift Through Life has transformed my life in and out of the gym. To me, it’s about using life’s challenges as fuel for growth—physically, mentally, and personally. Creating content for our social platforms has strengthened my discipline and work ethic, while also deepening my fitness journey and passion for boxing. LTL has helped me become the best version of myself.

Lift Through Life is more than fitness—it’s a mindset of growth, resilience, and community. Being part of LTL feels like being part of a family, where everyone motivates each other to become their best. As an athlete in lacrosse and football, that team support means everything to me.
My fitness journey began in high school for sports performance, but in college, it became an outlet for mental health. After overcoming injuries like a torn ACL and struggles with self-confidence, I’ve learned to focus on progress, not perfection. LTL has helped me build strength—physically and mentally—and reminded me that this is just one chapter in a much bigger story.

Lift Through Life has a few interpretations. The core idea of Lift Through Life is no matter what is going on in your circle or your life. You are strong enough to go through these times. These difficult moments will teach you to focus and work on yourself by working hard to move forward in life. Getting to be a part of LTL has been incredible. We are a small group of amazing people who are there to help and push each other to their limits and exceed their expectations in the gym and life.
Looking back on how far I’ve come, I would say that my fitness journey has impacted me in a multitude of ways. I’ve been able to get physically stronger, which has benefited me greatly in my career. For example, working out has helped to strengthen my back muscles, which has helped decrease the amount of pain I was experiencing due to straining. I am slowly forming my body into what I want, leading me to meet a ton of awesome people along the way, and there is a long road ahead of me I have only just begun!

Lift Through Life isn’t just a “brand” to me, Lift Through Life is a family. A place where people can become something great. Lift Through Life is a family who inspires people, and a community where everyone is accepted. It makes people feel a worth and that they mean something to this world.
During the summer of my sophomore year, I started to be serious about my fitness and started going to the gym consistently. Ever since then, I’ve felt more confidence, I’ve felt more happier, and I’ve felt like I have a purpose in life. The gym is a home to me, it’s a place where I don’t feel judged and feel like I’m doing something good for myself. My Fitness Journey shaped me into the person I am today and I’ll forever be grateful.

The idea of “Lift Through Life” is to be able to face challenges and adversity and still be able to come out on top above all. Being a part of LTL is very inspiring for me because I'm a part of a group of people with the same or similar message and passion as me. I thrive in being in a group of individuals with a passion for fitness. I’ve played lacrosse for two years and football for five years, which has instilled a strong value in teamwork and lifting the people in your circle.
Lifting got me out of a really dark place trying to get through high school. It made me want to create the best version of myself and find things I never knew I was capable of. Now, it's a massive passion of mine, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. This passion has pushed me to grow my strengths so much that I was able to join the 1,000lb club. My three-year fitness journey has taught me that everything can be achieved with hard work and dedication. Not to be corny, but anything can be in your grasp with hard work.

Lift Through Life means pushing through challenges with strength and resilience. No matter the circumstances, you stay focused, keep your head up, and put in the work to rise above it all—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
My fitness journey has shaped who I am today. It’s taught me discipline, built my confidence, and helped me push through tough times. It’s more than just physical—it’s been a mental reset and a constant reminder that I’m capable of overcoming anything. I’ve earned Spartan Race Trifectas, crushed running events, and grew up playing soccer, golf, basketball, football, wrestling, and tennis. Big thanks to my parents for always pushing me to try new things—it built the foundation for my passion and drive in fitness.

My fitness journey has deeply impacted my life. It began simply as a way to lose fat and get stronger for football. But as I stayed consistent, I started seeing the results I wanted—and that progress quickly became addictive. What keeps me going is knowing that I can improve myself mentally and physically by staying active and living a healthier lifestyle.
Over time, my fitness journey has grown beyond just workouts; it’s become a way of life. To me, Lift Through Life means more than lifting weights—it’s about lifting your life to a higher standard and striving to be the best version of yourself in every aspect. This mindset pushes me not just in the gym but in everything I do.
As a starting linebacker for the varsity football team, I see this journey as an ongoing challenge and a new experience that will help me grow as a person, both on and off the field.

To me, “Lift Through Life” means that with hard work and determination, anything is possible. Being part of LTL keeps me motivated to chase my goals on and off the field. Growing up in an athletic family, I’ve learned that nothing is given—everything is earned.
At 9 years old, my fitness journey has helped improve my endurance, speed, and overall performance in sports like football, basketball, and track. Even without lifting, staying active has made a big impact, and I’m always working to be better.
Chelsea
To me, “Lift Through Life” means any activity—mental or physical—that lifts you up. Being part of LTL feels like family, where everyone supports each other’s goals.
Fitness has boosted my confidence in sports and life, helping me grow in school, on teams, and in friendships. It’s taught me that to be a champion, you have to give it your all and ‘WORK’! Every day I show up, I get closer to becoming a true force to be reckoned with!
