SUTHERLAND FAMILY BUSINESSES

DANE AND SARA SUTHERLAND

We purchased the existing business for the Aurora Fitness Center in September 2012 and operated it in its original location for five years while we renovated the current building downtown.

In September 2017, the gym was expanded and relocated to the north side of Aurora's downtown square adding approximately 3,000 square feet to the facility.

Sara operates and manages all aspects of the gym and holds a variety of industry related certifications, while Dane spends his days working a big-kid real job ;)

Using her formal education and corporate career experience in sales and marketing, paired with a Master's in Business Administration, she is happy to help small businesses grow!

Serving up custom mixes of small-batch gourmet flavors that feature a rotating selection of 20+ flavors at a time, you will find something to satisfy any craving. Pair with specialty hard scoop ice cream flavors served in a cup or cone with hypercolor spoons. It's a snacking experience guaranteed to be delightful!

Aging is inevitable, but how we age is (mostly) up to us! This week, we’re diving into longevity—how strength, balance, and mobility play a crucial role in staying active and independent as we get older. Caleigh and Sara put themselves to the test (literally!) with common longevity assessments to see how they stack up. Can they sit and stand without using their hands? How strong is their grip?
