Who we are

Founded by Courtney Ruzick and Austin Songer, our mission is simple: to help our community become healthier, stronger, and more confident—physically and mentally. What began as a passion for nutrition and wellness has grown into a comprehensive approach to health that brings fitness and fueling together under one roof.

With the opening of Lions Den Gym, we are expanding beyond nutrition to offer a welcoming, affordable space for people of all fitness levels. The gym is designed to support a wide range of training styles, from general fitness and strength training to CrossFit-style workouts, cardio, and functional movement. Our goal is to create an environment where everyone—from beginners to experienced athletes—feels supported and motivated.

Alongside the gym, C&A Nutrition continues to provide high-quality protein, smoothies, and pre- and post-workout fuel, now with more space and expanded offerings. By combining fitness, nutrition, and community, we aim to make Lions Den a true destination gym—a place where people come not just to work out, but to connect, grow, and improve their overall well-being.

We are proud to be active, present, and invested in our community every day, helping people learn how to lift, fuel their bodies, and build healthier lives.
