Becky and Steve Hultgren are the new owners of
Better Body Fitness.
New owners plan to
add to fitness center
BY BRAD DEVEREAUX
Fitness enthusiasts in
Lovell may see a few slight
changes in the town's only
health club/workout facil-
ity, as longtime Lovell res-
idents have purchased the
business.
Steve and Becky Hult-
gren are the new owners of
Better Body Fitness after
entering an agreement to
purchase the business from
previous owners Chad and
Lindsay Lindsay in late Oc-
tober. Current members
of the Lovell fitness center
won't notice many changes
as the Hultgrens take over,
but they do plan to open
a small shop there in the
near future.
Steve Hultgren studied
physical education in col-
lege with a minor in busi-
ness and said it has always
been his dream to own a
health club. When he heard
Better Body Fitness was for
sale, he talked it over with
his wife and they made the
deal happen.
Hultgren said he isn't
planning any changes to
the equipment at the facili-
ty yet, but he would eventu-
ally like to convert the room
in the back of the building
to have punching bags and
kick bags to provide a dif-
ferent type of workout for
members.
Hultgren said he will
be at the facility Monday
through Thursday from
4:30 to 6:30 p.m., which will
also be the hours of his store
once it eventually opens. He
encourages people and pro-
spective members to come
by during that time with
any questions or comments.
The new owners also plan
on participating in the up-
coming Holiday Mingle to
introduce the community
to their new business, Hult-
gren said.
Hultgren has been in
charge of cleaning the Bet-
ter Body Fitness for several
years, and said he will con-
tinue to clean the building
as the new manager.
Hultgren said the gym
will continue to offer direct
deposit payment options
and continue to offer mem-
bership plans through local
companies with employee
wellness plans.
Steve and Becky said
they like the business that
the original owners built at
Better Body, and they want
to continue the business on
the same path, while adding
a few new features along
the wLy. Theyplan to hold
instructioxal courses such
as spinningi aerobics and
other workout programs be-
ginning in the early 2011.
Better Body Fitness will
host a bench, lift and squat
tournament, Hultgren said.
The contest will possibly be
held during Mustang Days
and will be similar to the
Strong Man Contest orga-
nized by Lindsay in past
years.

65, father, son, brother,
grandfather and uncle,
died on Nov. 4, 2010, in
Lovell.
Gary was born Feb. 6,
1945, in Lovell to Joe and
Louise Good. The oldest
of the four children, Gary,
began a life of hard work
and a love of animals and
outdoors at an early age.
He spent many days
and weeks exploring the
Big Horns ranching and
hunting. Gary welcomed
the quiet mountains year
round. He spent many
hunting seasons teaching
his brother Rusty the cor-
rect way to hunt elk, qui-
etly and not in the trees.
And sometimes taking
more than his limit.
During his senior year
of high school Gary mar-
ried his first wife, Gall
Tillett. Also during his se-
nior year he began driv-
ing for his father at Good
Transportation. In 1966

Gall and Gary welcomed
their son Dennis to the
family. Years later the
couple divorced.
In 1984, Gary married
his second wife, Cece Da-
vis of Wheatland, and they
welcomed their daughter
Jenny the same year. They
were divorced in 1987 and
Gary continued his profes-
sional driving career of 45
years until his retirement
in 2006 from Crete Carri-
er Corporation.
During this time he
married his third wife,
Connie Gibson, and they
are currently separated.
Gary took great pride
in his professional and
personal appearance. He
was always dressed "to the
nines" with fresh pressed
pants and shirt, classic
black vest, hat and boots.
He always made the la-
dies smile with his classic
cowboy looks and old-time
charm.
But he had more than
just the look. Until 1979,
Gary and his family ran
cattle on the Pryor Moun-
tains, Crooked creek, War-
ren flats and Burlington.
From moving cattle horse-
back to horsepower Gary
had his hand in every part
of the ranch.
After his retirement in
2006, Gary began show-
casing his artistic abili-
ties with his amazing yard
work and yard creations.

him very happy.
One of the fondest
memories Jenny and Den-
nis have of their dad is cov-
ering thousands of miles
in the truck. From learn-
ing to drive, tarp down
loads or the true mean-
ing of music--as the miles
markers grew so did they.
Gary made friends ev-
erywhere he went with a
big smile, working ethic,
a helping hand and stories
to tell. Gary will be great-
ly missed.
Gary was preceded
in death by his father,
Joe Good; sister Betty Jo;
grandparents Jess and
Eletha Bookout and many
beloved aunts and uncles.
He is survived by his
mother, Louise Good of

ra) Good of Lovell and

Dennis (Tracy) Good of
Casper and Jenny (Mar-

es and nephews, cousins,
