Meet the Owners
Sarah and Rick Hillman are the heart and soul behind The Lift Smalltown Fitness. As small business owners, they saw a need for a welcoming, 24/7 gym in their community and decided to make it happen.
Sarah brings the vision and energy — making sure the gym runs smoothly and creating a space where everyone feels welcome, from first-timers to seasoned lifters.
Rick is the calm, positive presence everyone loves — unassuming, encouraging, and always smiling. Beloved by locals, he embodies the approachable, friendly vibe that makes The Lift more than just a gym — it’s a community.


Built for Our Community. Fueled by Passion.
The Lift Smalltown Fitness was born out of a simple idea: everyone deserves a place to train, grow, and feel strong — no matter the size of their town.
Sarah and Rick Hillman, the owners, saw a gap in fitness options in our small-town areas. As small business owners themselves, they knew the value of a space where people could come together, stay healthy, and push themselves — on their own schedule.
