Katrina Hutchison, Owner

Katrina is a Pain Free Performance Specialist and has been teaching dance and fitness classes since she was 11 years old. In April 2018, she finally made the decision to quit her full-time job as a soil scientist and pursue her passion in fitness, dance, and adventure.

She has competed in power lifting competitions (setting state records) as well as running, mountain biking, and Spartan obstacle course races (frequently placing in the top 5). She lives in Spearfish, SD and loves anything outdoors (hiking, running, mountain biking, XC skiing, snowshoeing, backpacking, and camping). She is very involved with local community theatre, always has a book nearby, and is fueled by plants!

 

Amara the Explorer, The Real Boss

I am very sad to share that my best friend, adventure partner, and sidekick Amara passed away on June 28, 2024. She became suddenly ill and the vets were unable to figure out exactly what was wrong and how to treat her. I wish I had more eloquent words to fully express how much my best friend meant to me and how my life has changed, but if you knew me at all these past 3 years, you know my heart is broken and I am utterly devastated. Amara was my constant and not a day goes by that I don’t think about her. She was loved by clients, dance students, and everyone that met her.
