Achieve Fitness in Morgan has recently transitioned to new ownership and is now co-owned by local brothers Jake and Shane Gale. Jake Gale, his wife, Kathy, and Shane Gale and his wife, Kylee, are all excited about this new opportunity.

Jake and Kathy both call Morgan home, having grown up in the area. They have been married for 18 years and have six children. They enjoy an active lifestyle and spending time outdoors while also staying busy caring for their sheep and riding wheelers.

Shane is a native of Morgan as well, but his wife, Kylee, is from West Haven. They have been married for 15 years and have three children. Their spare time is spent watching their childrens’ sports, staying active and enjoying the outdoors.

Both couples are thrilled to continue building upon what previous owners, Rusty and Kim Hurd, established in the community when they first opened the gym in 2005. “The Hurds grew this gym to be loved by many in our community and built it to what it is today. We are very grateful for the opportunity to be able to carry that on,” they said.

As the new owners of Achieve Fitness, the Gales also had some helpful tips to share with community members who may be looking for motivation or inspiration in their health and fitness journey:

- Focus on daily habits, not the end results. 

- Show up every day, whether it’s five minutes or 60 minutes, get in the habit of being there.

- Love your body; strong comes in all shapes and sizes.

- Hold yourself accountable, find a friend to work out with. It makes it easier to show up.

- Find a workout you enjoy; this could be weights, classes, etc. There isn’t one fit for everyone.

- Work out because you love your body.

- Don’t compare yourself to others; we all start somewhere.

-There is no shortcut. It takes time to create a healthy, stronger version of yourself.

Achieve Gym is a 24/7 gym for members only, offering comprehensive options for everyone.
