The pulse of determination, the hum of encouragement, and the quiet power of resilience are the tones set at Industrious Spring, a functional fitness gym right off 99 by the cinema. At the center of it all is Kelly Fucheck, whose journey from stroke survivor to gym owner is nothing short of extraordinary.
At just 32, Kelly’s world shifted in an instant when a spontaneous vertebral artery tear led to a stroke. A moment that could have ended everything became the turning point that redefined her life. Waking up in the ICU, she faced the hard truth: a stressful career, extra weight, and unhealthy habits didn’t serve her future. Rather than surrender, Kelly chose to fight. That decision sparked a journey from survival to strength, and ultimately to build Industrious Spring, a place where moxie meets community, and where anyone ready to reclaim their health can find the courage to begin.
Recovery started with two minutes on a treadmill, which was once just a clothes hanger in her bedroom. Two minutes became a 5K. That 5K turned into countless races, including eight half-marathons: progression and priorities. Later, she rediscovered strength training, which reminded her of lifting weights in the firehouse with her dad. Kelly fell in love with the inclusive, barbell-driven environment of functional fitness. “My stroke saved my life,” she says. “It taught me I’m capable. Industrious Spring is my love letter to myself and my community.”
That love letter is written in sweat, perseverance, and support. The gym’s philosophy, “Work Hard. Live Fit.” is simple yet powerful: anyone can unlock their potential through consistent, honest effort. Workouts blend strength training, conditioning, and intervals in a way that keeps members engaged and improving, no matter where they start. Every workout is tailored to the athlete, but still in a group setting, so the others are able to rally behind everyone; they feel both challenged and supported.
The space itself reflects that ethos. Industrious Spring’s unique HALO setup gives members their own “station”, eliminating the intimidation of waiting for equipment and fostering confidence. The team brings decades of experience in Olympic lifting, sports science, and health coaching, guiding athletes to find strength inside and outside the gym. With a focus on functional fitness, the strength built at Industrious Spring carries into everyday life, whether taking a hike, lifting kids for a big hug, or running a marathon. What starts in the gym becomes capability in the world.
Community is the heartbeat of Industrious Spring. From the moment someone tries the first free class, they’re welcomed into a circle of accountability and encouragement. Transformation stories abound, but Kelly lights up when sharing client success stories like Angie, who dropped over 5% body fat, gained muscle, improved her insulin levels, and now beams with confidence.
For Kelly, Industrious Spring isn’t about quick fixes; it’s about building habits that last, like the January Kickstart program, launching January 12, where fitness and nutrition are combined. The perfect way to help members start strong and stay on course in a fun way for 2026. Industrious Spring is more than a gym. It’s proof that resilience breeds strength, and strength builds community. And for Kelly, it’s a daily reminder that hard work and a big heart can change everything.
