Our Team

Roy Shick

Founder

Roy is the founder of Ranch Fit Club. Originally from Northwest Washington, he grew up on a small ranch on the Olympic Peninsula, where an early love of sports and the outdoors — skiing, mountain biking, and hiking the Pacific Northwest — shaped the vision that would one day become Ranch Fit. He played collegiate football at Western Washington University, earning all-league honors in a nationally recognized program. He then spent 20 years in collegiate athletic administration at Arizona State, Washington, and Texas, helping lead fundraising efforts that advanced facilities and resources for student-athletes — and developing a lasting passion for supporting athletes of all ages and abilities. Those experiences led to Ranch Fit Club: a functional fitness gym designed to serve all ages and disciplines, where toughness, growth, and community intersect. Its mission is to inspire people to embrace their own fitness journey in a setting that reflects the grit and beauty of a working ranch.

Paige Barnett

Coraggio Equestrian Owner / Coach

Born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Paige grew up immersed in sports — competing in basketball and spending years in the show-jumping arena, building a foundation of discipline, performance, and resilience. Ranch Fit shares its property with Coraggio Equestrian, where she has served as Head Trainer for over 17 years. Coaching athletes daily, in and out of the arena, shaped her philosophy: build strong fundamentals, develop mental toughness, and create steady, sustainable progress. For the past eight years she has been active in functional fitness, valuing how directly it translates into everyday life — strength, balance, coordination, and endurance influence how we move, work, compete, and live. She especially loves working with beginners and first-timers, helping them overcome intimidation and discover what they're truly capable of. Her goal is simple: help people build confidence through competence and leave stronger than they arrived.
