Grow the Kingdom gym puts God at center of fitness
In brief
Grow the Kingdom, a Catholic gym in Greenwood Village, Colorado, integrates prayer and discipline into physical fitness. Co-owner Jayce Rastrelli operates the facility within the Archdiocese of Denver, where the gym features a large crucifix and a Bible displayed prominently near the equipment.
The gym uses whiteboards to list prayers and encourages members to view their workouts as opportunities for service. This approach seeks to move members away from ego lifting and toward a focus on spiritual growth alongside physical training.
