Katy & Rick

Black Bear Fitness Owners

Way back in 1978 Rick and Katy went on a first date.  During that very first date they discovered their mutual interest and desire to one day open a gym. 

Fast forward 26+ years.  Both lifetime fitness enthusiasts and disenchanted with the corporate world, they took a huge leap of faith to follow their hearts....and Black Bear Fitness was born on March 14, 1998.

Black Bear Fitness has become a community of fair minded, fun loving and health orientated people.  It is a supportive environment where everyone is welcome, comfortable and can thrive.

Katy and Rick can be found teaching group fitness classes, personal training clients, working with nutrition clients or greeting members behind the front desk.  With over 30 years of experience, Rick and Katy are excited to help you find and achieve your fitness goals.
