My name is Ulyssa, and I’m the proud founder of TonedFitz, a fitness gym rooted right here in the heart of Raleigh, NC. This gym is more than a business—it’s my purpose, my passion, my everything. I’ve poured my heart, soul, and life savings into building a space where people come to transform their lives, not just their bodies.

For as long as I can remember, fitness has been my passion, my peace, and my purpose. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of helping others transform not just their bodies, but their entire lifestyles—and now, I’m finally taking the leap to create a gym of my own, right here in Raleigh, NC.

This isn’t just about weights and machines. This is about creating a space where people come to level up in every way—physically, mentally, emotionally. A space that’s raw, real, powerful, and personal. A space that speaks to growth, grit, and community.

I’ve invested everything I have—my time, my resources, my heart—into laying the groundwork. Now, I’m so close I can feel it. But I need your help to bring it across the finish line.
