In March 2023, while traveling with her daughter to dance recitals, Kristin Koeplin found herself searching for the perfect workout space. Inspired by a transformative fitness experience, she decided to bring that magic back home. Less than two months later, Monarch Fitness was born.
"Fitness has always been my anchor for me through life’s ups and downs. I grew up on a small ranch an hour outside of Bozeman feeding cattle, changing irrigation hand pipes, and showing 4-H animals, cheerleading and running cross country. In college, I joined a gym and fell in love with group fitness classes. From weightlifting to cardio to yoga, I was obsessed with how great my body and mind felt during and after workouts — I still am!
It wasn't until I experienced my first reformer Pilates class that I found my true calling in the fitness industry — first as an instructor and eventually as the owner of three Club Pilates franchise locations.
As with so many of us, covid hit and changed my life. I didn’t realize how busy I had become with work, and I loved spending time with my girls. One by one I sold my studios to instructors that had loved the business too and, in the midst of all of this, I discovered Lagree. A high-intensity, low-impact workout — like Pilates on fire!
Discovering Lagree sparked a vision: to create a fitness studio that blended my favorite elements from my favorite workouts and studios. One that lifted people up with its workouts atmosphere, lighting, and music — where people of all body types, shapes, sizes, and backgrounds could feel safe, supported, and challenged. Monarch Fitness is that dream realized.
At 40 years young, married to a wonderful man, raising three strong, smart, kind teenage girls, and now the founder of my dream studio, I feel I'm the best version of myself that I have ever been. I am so excited to be a part of your transformation, becoming the best version of YOU!!"
