Pain Is Temporary, most known as PIT Fitness Development & Training, LLC began in 2016 by life-long Chicago residents, Jon Calhoun and LaShawn Cargo. They first began this organization to make an everlasting impact in the community of Monmouth, Illinois and other areas in Chicago, by using physical fitness as an icebreaker to connect with elementary and high school students. The goal is to create a safe environment that is open to discussions based on human struggles, adversities and pain that we all can relate as one–to realize that overall, Pain Is Temporary.
