GET FIT, GET FOCUSED: BOOST YOUR ENERGY, MOOD & SUCCESS WITH DUSTIN CARNISH OF RIPT FITNESS

If you want better brain function, higher energy, improved mood, less anxiety, and more performance in business and life, this is for you.

Hi, I am Mike Ferrante with Century 21 HomeStar and the 21 Mike Team. We are Realtors serving Greater Cleveland, Columbus, and all of Ohio.

This community spotlight is not just about health and fitness—it is about becoming the best version of yourself, in business and in life. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dustin Carnish, co-owner of Ript Fitness in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, and a true expert in fitness, performance, and healthy living.

Meet Dustin Carnish: Fitness Mentor and Performance Coach

Dustin and his wife Amy run Ript Fitness, offering high-intensity interval training (HIIT), personal training, and virtual coaching to clients across Ohio, North America, and even Europe. What makes Dustin stand out is his holistic approach. Ript Fitness focuses on three pillars: fitness, nutrition, and accountability. This isn’t just about lifting weights or running laps—it is about creating a plan that fits your life and goals.

Why HIIT and Interval Training Work

HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) is all about short bursts of intense effort followed by short recovery periods. It boosts your metabolism, builds muscle, burns fat, and saves time. The best part? You do not need a gym or fancy equipment. HIIT can be done with body weight, dumbbells, bands, or just space in your living room.

Online Fitness Coaching That Actually Works

One of the biggest shifts in Dustin’s business came when clients started asking for help outside the gym. From business travel to family obligations, getting to the gym isn’t always possible. Enter virtual training. With the Ript Fitness coaching app, clients track workouts, nutrition, sleep, and hydration—all from their phone. It is like having a personal trainer in your pocket.

Why Most People Fail: No Plan, No Accountability

Too many people think a gym membership is enough. It is not. A plan, structure, and accountability are the missing ingredients. As Realtors, we understand that success is about consistency. Just like we track leads, closings, and appointments, fitness requires tracking nutrition, workouts, and results.

Dustin says it best: “You cannot out-exercise a bad diet.” Whether you are lifting weights, walking, or using resistance bands, having a plan customized to your level and goals is the key.

The Real Estate Connection: Health = Business Performance

So what does fitness have to do with real estate? Everything.

As a Realtor, you need energy, confidence, and mental sharpness. A healthy lifestyle helps you show up better for clients and your business. Dustin shared how diet, sleep, and exercise create a loop that affects your mood, productivity, and decision-making.

Feeling burned out? Lethargic? Try moving more, eating better, and sleeping well. It is not about perfection—it is about progress.

Common Objections: No Time, No Equipment, No Experience

Dustin breaks down the top objections:

No Time: You need three 45-minute sessions per week. That is less than 2% of your week.
No Equipment: Bodyweight exercises and resistance bands are enough.
No Experience: Workouts are customized to your fitness level.

He also challenges parents to stop putting themselves last. “Put your own mask on first,” Dustin says. You cannot care for others if you are not taking care of yourself.

Consistency > Perfection. You will fall off the wagon. Just get back on.
Prioritize your health. There is no time management problem, only a prioritization issue.
