Her philosophy balances physical development with long-term wellness and injury prevention, establishing her as a holistic coach whose influence extends well beyond strength and speed.
Ms. Gray’s journey began with a Bachelor of Arts in mass communication and media studies from the University of Texas at San Antonio.

At Gray Fit Training and Recovery, Ms. Gray creates comprehensive programs that blend sports science with practical coaching. She assesses mobility, strength and movement patterns before crafting progressive plans that include nutrition guidance and mental resilience techniques. She also offers virtual workshops on recovery protocols and regularly speaks on balancing athletic training with academic and professional demands.
Beyond her private practice, Ms. Gray has shared her expertise with Athletes Unlimited, leading group sessions on injury prevention, and as a court coach for USA Basketball, where she refined athletes’ footwork, reaction time and tactical understanding. These roles allowed her to make an impact on athletes at regional and national levels.
Before entrepreneurship, Ms. Gray worked in financial services, where she managed client relationships, streamlined processes and mentored colleagues. Those roles sharpened her strategic thinking and operational skills, which she later applied to building and scaling Gray Fit into a sustainable, community-oriented enterprise.
Ms. Gray maintains professional credentials through the National Academy of Sports Medicine as a certified personal trainer and fitness nutrition specialist. She is also a licensed massage therapist and certified medical assistant, qualifications that enable her to support comprehensive recovery and wellness.
