Building Forward

About

Hi, I'm
Samantha.

Your fitness journey is about becoming, not bouncing back.

Samantha Grillo

I'm a professional fitness coach and the founder of Building Forward. I received my Bachelor of Science in Fitness Development from the State University of New York at Cortland in 2015.

I specialize in women's weight loss and body recomposition, with a deep passion for helping women build sustainability into their lives. My philosophy is simple: fitness should fit your real life, not the other way around.

We focus on Building Forward — getting stronger in every season, especially the hard ones. Whether you're a mom rediscovering your power or someone tired of starting over, I'm here to help you reclaim your strength and confidence.

Coaching that fits real-life motherhood

What this looks like

Coaching for the way you actually live.

  • Custom programs — built around your equipment, your schedule, and the kid in your arms.
  • Nutrition that fits — no separate meals, no off-limits foods, no restriction spiral.
  • High-touch support — weekly check-ins, in-app messaging, and a coach who remembers what you said last month.

Let's talk.

Free consultation. Just a conversation about you, your goals, and how I can help.
