Restore Move Thrive

Hello, I’m Spilios Koutsios, owner and operator of The Pursuit Fitness.

My journey started with my own injury. I found myself struggling to walk, stand, or lift without discomfort and the only solution I was given was to “stop lifting.” That wasn’t an option. So I started searching for better answers. What I discovered changed everything: recovery isn’t about avoiding movement t’s about pairing the right exercises with the right approach, while also addressing the factors outside the gym that truly determine success.
While coaching small group sessions over the last 4 years, I began noticing a pattern. So many people were dealing with pain that was holding them back from living their lives. Missing hikes. Sitting out of sports. Not being fully present with their families because their bodies couldn’t keep up.
That’s when my mission became clear.
I became an Active Life Professional, and committed myself to helping people build strength without sacrificing the life they want to live.
As a husband and father, this is personal. I want to stay active, play golf into my 80s, and fully experience life with my family and I know I’m not the only one who wants that.
That’s exactly why The Pursuit Fitness exists.
To help you move better, feel better, and live without compromise

Hi! I’m Ashley, owner of Anchored Roots Massage 🤍

I graduated from Blue Sky School of Professional Massage in September 2024, and opened my own practice the following month and haven’t looked back since.

My journey into massage therapy started from something personal. I’ve seen so many people, including myself, deal with chronic pain, and I knew there had to be a better way to support the body…something that gets back to the basics of how we’re meant to move and feel.

Fun fact: I had never even received a massage before deciding to become a massage therapist. 🫣Once I started learning, I quickly realized how powerful it can be! Massage isn’t just about relaxation. It’s about helping your body function better, reduce pain, and getting you to feel more like you again!

At Anchored Roots, my goal is to provide care that goes deeper than the surface—supporting your movement, your nervous system, and your overall well-being. 🫶🏼

Outside of the studio, I’m usually on the go, chasing my three kiddos from sport to sport ⚽️🏀🏐 and helping my husband with his electrical business. When we get the chance to slow down, you’ll find us camping, kayaking, fishing, hiking, or biking. Nature is where we reset and recharge!

Hi, I’m Aaron and I am the owner of HigherRoad Fitness.

I am not your normal personal trainer. I am an Active Life Professional.

What’s that? (I hear that often).

It means I’ve invested in my training to get you the outcomes you’ve been searching for. I help people who have been struggling to do the things they love, or have completely avoided doing, because of chronic pain. I create long term plans that get you back to moving confidently and doing the things that bring you joy.

I believe everyone deserves this and can live this kind of life, no matter your starting point.

I believe you can feel strong, capable, resilient, and free to say “yes” to the real-life adventures that make life fun, no matter your age.

I DON’T believe that getting older means feeling worse. That is a lie we’ve been sold. Am I’m here to rewrite that story.

I believe in smart and consistent training, strength, mobility, and physical freedom for everyone, sleep, stress management, and breath work as tools to help you thrive, progress over perfection, and reclaiming your ability to do whatever you want!

I have lived in Hartford with my wife and dogs for about 8 years now. I enjoy staying active either training in the gym, hiking at Pike Lake, or being outdoors in northern Wisconsin. Stop in and say hi!

Hi! I am Carrie and I am Sandberg Physical Therapy! I am a 2006 graduate of Marquette’s DPT program with a BS in Exercise Science. I have spent most of my working years in a hospital-based outpatient therapy clinic treating various conditions and people of all ages. I was certified in dry needling (intramuscular manual therapy) in 2015.

Sandberg Physical Therapy has one focus - YOU! I am here to help figure out what is happening with your joints, muscles, tendons,…the whole body so we can figure out what is causing you pain, limitations, and reducing function in your daily life. The body is a puzzle and I love trying to figure it out! Then we can work to restore your mobility, strength, and get you back to the things you have been missing!

A little about me….I have a fantastic husband, Justin, two awesome daughters, and a sweet red Labrador. I enjoy distance running and strength training, being in a kitchen, and reading! These days you will find me watching my girls play on a basketball court, softball field, or track loving every minute of it! ❤️💙
