Our Story
RiPT Fitness was founded in 2015 by Dustin and Amy Carnish with a simple mission: bring people together and show that fitness is a way of life. For nearly a decade, they built the backbone of the RiPT community one rooted in connection, challenge, and support.
We are not just another facility; we are your training home base. Our supportive culture, built on accountability and connection, ensures you are never just another scan tag—you’re family. This legacy of care continues today as we deliver intentional workouts that lead to real, sustainable transformation
MEET THE CEO
PJ Moffat
I first joined RiPT in 2015 as a member. As a former Division I athlete staying home with two young daughters, I was craving competition, community, and a place to push myself again. RiPT became that place instantly.
In 2022, I joined the staff, and last May, my family and I took over ownership as Dustin and Amy moved on. Teaching is in my DNA (I hold a Master’s in Education), and RiPT gave me the chance to help people build confidence and make sustainable changes. As a Certified Personal Trainer and Nutritionist, I know firsthand how important it is to prioritize your health—so you can show up for yourself and the people you love. RiPT is our second home, and I’m honored to help make it yours too.
