WELCOME TO
BLACK RIVER
FITNESS
Our Vision
Black River Fitness will be located in the heart of Kenai, in a 2400 sq ft warehouse space, adjacent to other locally owned businesses. Black River Fitness plans to remodel this open space, keeping the main area for exercise equipment and closing in a 400 sq ft childcare room, an office, and a quaint changing room. At Black River Fitness, our goal is to provide a supportive and motivating environment for individuals and families on their fitness journeys—by providing a welcoming atmosphere and offering excellent childcare 5 days a week.
Black River Fitness is committed to supporting both the community and our employees. To aid in this, we offer child-friendly shifts, allowing employees to bring their children if they wish.
Join us today and be part of a community that values your well-being.
About Black River Fitness
About Us
Welcome to Black River Fitness! We’re Ben and Trinity Godfrey, locally born and raised Alaskans with two kids of our own. As parents, we understand the unique challenges families face when it comes to fitness—especially when it’s hard to find time for yourself, let alone get to the gym.
Our mission is simple: to support individuals and families in all stages of life, as they work toward their fitness goals. We’re passionate about helping beginners, young families, and anyone who struggles to prioritize their health due to barriers like childcare or a long commute.
At Black River Fitness, we believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to lead a healthy, active lifestyle, and we’re here to make that easier for you. Whether you’re just starting out, juggling family life, or looking to enhance your fitness routine, we’ve got your back.
Your fitness journey should align with your needs, not the other way around.
We can't wait to team up and help you achieve your fitness goals!

Your Safety is Our Priority
Remember to always be mindful of your physical limitations and to listen to your body.
While we always recommend working out with a partner, we know that’s not always an option.
We understand that working out alone can feel intimidating, especially at odd hours of the night. At Black River Fitness, we want you to feel safe taking full advantage of your 24/7 gym access. That’s why we offer 4 emergency panic pendants, available for pick up upon arrival. Simply attach to your clothing, and press the button in case of an emergency to be connected directly to 911.
We have a zero-tolerance policy for harassment, and any concerns can and should be reported directly to the owners.
It is vital that you report issues in a timely manner so staff can review CCTV footage.
