About Us
The story behind Fit-4-FurBabies and the people making it happen.
Meet Brett Ray
With over 30 years of experience as a personal trainer, Brett Ray has dedicated his career to helping people achieve their fitness goals. But he saw an opportunity to do more — to use fitness as a force for good in the community.
Fit-4-FurBabies was born from a simple idea: what if every workout could also help animals in need? By combining his passion for fitness with a love for shelter pets, Brett created a movement that benefits both people and pets.
Today, Fit-4-FurBabies brings the community together through outdoor boot camps, fitness events, and challenges — all while collecting pet food, supplies, and donations for local animal shelters.
Our Vision
We believe fitness can change lives — both human and animal.
Our long-term goal is to grow Fit-4-FurBabies from local Triad boot camps into a larger movement that supports animal shelters across North Carolina and beyond. We envision a future with yoga classes, 5K events, adoption days, wellness education, and community fundraising — all centered around helping shelter pets find forever homes.
