Who Train.
Josh & Kaitie Biggs didn’t set out to build a gym empire. They set out to build the gym they couldn’t find one with real equipment, real recovery, and a community that actually pushes you.
— The Origin
From Meal
Prep to Fortress.
Fuel Fortress didn’t start as a gym. It started as a conviction that the people working hardest deserve the best tools. That nutrition and training aren’t separate. That community is the infrastructure serious athletes build their lives around.
Josh & Kaitie Biggs proved it first with food. Now they’re proving it with iron.
Josh & Kaitie launch Fuel Nutrition in Bowling Green, KY — a meal prep company built on a simple belief: serious athletes deserve serious food. No shortcuts, no cutting corners. Ready-made, macro-balanced meals for people who train hard and don't have time to waste.
Bowling Green, KYAfter years of delivering nutrition to serious lifters, fighters, and competitors, a pattern emerges: the gym experience doesn't match the ambition. Great athletes are training in facilities that let them down — broken equipment, no community, zero recovery infrastructure. The idea for Fuel Fortress takes shape.
The IdeaThe flagship location opens in Bowling Green, KY. Arsenal Strength equipment, private hot-stone saunas, luxury locker rooms, a full MMA & Muay Thai area, and 24/7 member access. The standard is set on day one: no compromises. The gym everyone's talking about is open.
Bowling Green, KY · FlagshipThe second location opens in Franklin, KY — 24/7 access, full MMA area, private saunas, the full Fuel Fortress experience. Josh & Kaitie begin formalizing the franchise model with operational blueprints, software systems, and a coaching framework so the next owner gets everything they need from day one.
Franklin, KY · Franchise LaunchedFuel Fortress enters Tennessee. The Clarksville location brings the full brand experience to a new market — featuring a first-of-its-kind posing room with adjustable lighting for the bodybuilding community, alongside the complete MMA area, private saunas, and elite equipment lineup. Located near Fort Campbell, Clarksville becomes the brand's military community hub.
Clarksville, TN · Posing Room412 Davidson Street. Nashville's premium fitness market gets the gym it's been waiting for. The Nashville location brings Fuel Fortress to Music City — strength training, HIIT, personal training, private saunas, on-site meal prep, and 24/7 access. One membership covers all four locations.

— The Founders
Josh &
Kaitie Biggs.
Josh and Kaitie didn’t come from the gym industry. They came from the conviction that the people who work hardest athletes, military, competitors, parents chasing something better deserve a space that actually respects that.
Fuel Nutrition taught them discipline: recipe testing, supplier relationships, macro tracking at scale. That same obsessive attention to quality became the blueprint for every Fuel Fortress location
Today, Josh & Kaitie personally coach every new franchisee. Not a handbook a real conversation with the people who built this from scratch.
Six Pillars.
No Compromise.
Every Fuel Fortress location — past, present, and future — is built on the same six commitments. Non-negotiable, always on display.
01 — Luxury Fitness
Premium equipment, designer-feel interiors, private saunas. Every detail chosen as if compromise is illegal. Because here, it is.
02 — Community First
Judgment-free, identity-driven, supportive of every fitness level. The vibe is set by the members — we just build the space they deserve.
03 — Results Built In
Custom programming, nutritional guidance, and real coaches. Your sanctuary for results isn't a tagline — it's the design specification.
04 — Recovery Infrastructure
Saunas, luxury showers, proper locker rooms. Recovery is not an afterthought — it's engineered in before the first piece of equipment arrives.
05 — True Accessibility
24/7 access, multi-location membership, discounts for military, first responders, and students. A premium gym that's actually attainable.
06 — Owner Partnership
Josh & Kaitie personally coach every franchisee. Operational blueprints, software systems, supplier relationships — the full playbook.
