Our Team
LIFE CHANGER & DREAM MAKER
Katie Callahan - Owner
My parents enrolled me in dance classes at the age of three, and my love for the art of dance (Ballet, Tap, Modern, Lyrical, Hip-hop and Jazz) grew as I grew. And at the age of 19 years old, I opened On Your Toes Dance Studio and for the next 25 years of my life, my heart and soul was poured into my dance students.
During those years I raised my greatest blessing, my son Tyler. He taught me spontaneity and resiliance, but also patience and purpose. It was also during this time, that I found that various forms of fitness was where I found the most balance for myself. It taught me structure, dicipline and brought me peace. It has been a tool that I turn to not only to work not only on myself physically, but mentally and spitirually as well.
As a single mom in my 30’s, I became certified in Zumba, Personal Training and various styles of group training. This also lead me to become certifed in Holistic Nutrition. By helping others achieve fitness and nutrition goals and sharing in their progress is what fueled my passion. This is when I began holding classes out of my home garage.
In my 40s, I ventured into bodybuilding and brought home awards and trophies that I never dreamed I could achieve. Despite the many challenges of this journey each time I competed, I found it to be the most rewarding physical chapter for me yet.
As 2020 impacted us all in so many ways, we soon found that we were closing the doors to my beloved dance studio. Over these past few years, I have been blessed to continue sharing my fitness journey with so many amazing people. My passion in life is helping others feel their best by providing the tools needed to transform. Knowing that I’ve helped to add longevity to others lives, defines my life purpose. Becoming the Owner of The Ice House Fitness Studio is a blessing beyond belief! I will continue to work hard and share my love, knowledge and passion for this magical venue and the community that surrounds it. I am ready to help you and share in your health and fitness journey!

I’ve always had a passion for movement, but life got busy, and I stopped working out. I ended up losing feeling on the right side of my body needing spine surgery. After that surgery I was in my darkest place yet – I was able to find my momentum to starting over at the Ice House. After regaining confidence I wanted to be able to share that feeling with others so I became certified in Barre, a low impact workout for anyone! Then I moved into Group Fitness certification and have been 100% sold on how movement and nutrition can change a person!
After being diagnosed with breast cancer and the surgeries that followed, doctors were astonished at how quickly my body healed and recovered. The only answer they had for me was “you are in great shape”. This just affirmed what I know about health – our bodies take care of us, when we take care of them! Katies has made it a beautiful and fantastic journey.
