Welcome to Tonic: A Letter from Ingrid

July 5, 2024: LAUNCH DAY

Hey, thank you for visiting us! I'm Ingrid, the Founder & CEO of Tonic Athletics. I hope this letter finds you in great health and high spirits. Welcome to the family 💪🏽

Tonic is a growing fitness brand run by myself and a hodgepodge of talented individuals. Our brand recognizes the tenacity of a human spirit and the art of tranquility. Our mission is to help you unleash (and maybe unlock) your full potential ☀️

My passion for fitness ignited during a pivotal moment in my life when I realized the transformative power of exercise on both body and mind. My journey, like many others, started with personal struggles that demanded me to create a healthier lifestyle for myself. Consistent sessions at the gym quickly became my catharsis, and hitting Personal Records allowed me to celebrate myself at times when that felt tough to do. Over time, training served as a Tonic for all the moments my heart was heavy or my mind was noisy.

After months of fully committing to powerlifting, it didn't occur to me that my mentality and physique had gone through the major changes it had. I was always taking pictures of my body, but saw myself everyday, so I only seriously noticed how much I had changed when I started getting approached by other individuals. Others were constantly asking what my weekly split was and what I did for my workouts. At first, I'd screenshot the workout logs I kept in my Notes app and send it to those who asked for it. But I kept thinking that I wanted a more organized and accessible way to share all the knowledge and tips I'd complied over the course of my growth - so I created Tonic. And truthfully, Tonic has quickly become such a rewarding way to share my favorite medicine with the world. What's that they say? "If I'm eating, everyone has a plate." So eat up! There's more than enough.

We're happy to have you 💐 Training Programs are out now, and we have so much more in store for you 😉

Your body is a temple. I'm here to make sure you nurture it. Here's to your wellness and vitality journey!

Sincerely Yours 🥂,
Ingrid Graye
Founder/CEO, Tonic Athletics
