Our Story
Matt & Margo Beukelman,
Rapid Fitness Owners
Matt has been in the industry for over 10 years and has worked as a personal trainer & certified nutritionist to help clients achieve fat loss, strength gain and more.
Margo is a certified pre-& postnatal personal trainer and loves working with women in their pursuit of core & full-body strength.
Our goal is to get plugged into communities around the Sioux Falls Area(Brandon, Tea, and Dell Rapids currently) and fill the fitness needs in those areas.
From Personal Training to Group Classes to Nutrition Coaching to Youth Programs, we aspire to help the people of the communities we go into.
Where We Started...
Matt started Rapid Fitness in Dell Rapids in August 2015.
The first location for Rapid Fitness was a sub-4000 square foot building that was originally built to be a restaurant(not a perfect fit, but a start!).
This is also the location that Matt met Margo in 2016!
Then we expanded..
In 2018, Margo and Matt got married!
Also in 2018, we purchased our own building that was 6000 square feet that would accommodate for the growth we had experienced since opening.
In March of 2019, after remodeling, Rapid Fitness moved into a new and expanded location in Dell Rapids. This larger space allowed for Rapid Fitness to add group fitness!
Brandon, SD
After a grueling 2020(COVID), we decided to go all in on the fitness business and expand to multiple locations.
In June 2021, we purchased a 7000 square foot building & gym in Brandon, SD.
We spent 3 months remodeling, updating equipment and cleaning and now have our second location updated and ready for business.
Tea, SD
In the summer of 2024 another opportunity presented itself when Fitness First of Tea, SD was selling their business. By fall 2024 we had expanded to our third location and remodeled the Tea facility! The remodel allowed for a group fitness room to host heated classes, barbell classes, kids camps and more!
We aim to carry on the strong presence Fitness First brought to the Tea community and we continue to add to our personal training and fitness class schedule each month!
Expanding in Dells(again)..
2024 was busy! We added another 4000 square feet to our Dell Rapids location! This allowed for us to expand our free weights space, add another group fitness room for heated classes and add 247 golf simulators!
We’ve been truly blessed to bring these facilities to Dells, Brandon and Tea–stay tuned for whatever we end up doing next!
