Meet Sally Spooner | Business Owner & Fitness Professional

We had the good fortune of connecting with Sally Spooner and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Sally, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
The vision and business plan for PeaksFit started nearly 20 years ago when Sally started in the industry. Throughout her fitness professional journey, she kept track of things she thought were positive and what things that she would choose not to be part of PeaksFit. After years of experience and traveling the country to visit other studios and get a feel for what she thought was best for members, PeaksFit came to life in 2019. Sally & Jess met while working at OrangeTheory Fitness and decided to join forces and start PeaksFit in order to gain members and gain a more personal fitness experience.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
What sets us apart from others is our passion for truly caring about our members success and happiness in “life” not just in the gym. Our members are our greatest friends and family. This journey was neither hard, or easy, it was what we were meant to do and has always just felt right to us. We got to where we are today, by following our hearts and not being afraid to ask for help or advice. We care about others and in return we have received so much love and support.
The most important lesson we have learnt along the way, is to never be afraid to share your dreams. Once you say it out loud, the pieces and support come together. Also, never forget who helped you along the way. Every single person, is part of our success in one way or another.
We want people to know that at PeaksFit, we believe fitness is an important part of your wellbeing, but, just one of the many pieces. Fitness should not consume you, it should be something that brings your joy and a sense of accomplishment. Our goal is not to build the “perfect physique”. Our goal is to build healthy hearts, strong minds, powerful bodies, and lifelong friendships. We want all our members to “Be the best version of themselves”.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If our best friend was visiting, we would go to Lyons. The parks and nature there are beautiful and feel like you are in another world. We love to take a son to the Farmers Market in Longmont, to experience all the fresh foods as well as the local bands. Pearl Street is amazing in all season.s We love to eat at Farrow in Niwot or The Kitchen in Boulder for dinner! During the Winter going up to the star at Chautauqua is stunning. Hikes and Bike rides are endless in this town for the best scenic views and some wildlife. And of course…..a PeaksFit workout!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
There is no-one specific however there are so many influential people that have played a part in our success. We are confident these people know who they are as we take pride in thanking each and every one of them and do our best to stay in contact. Anyone who has personal trained under Sally or Jess, or been a member of OTF Gainesville, Boulder, or Fort Collins, your support has helped make us who we are. A special thanks to Chad and Kari Michaelsen, for giving us the opportunity to move to Boulder and work in the fitness industry, a place we now call home.
