THE TEAM
OWNER AND HEAD COACH
Andrew Slac
"Training at Black Rose was one of the best things I'd ever done. Becoming the owner is one of my greatest honors. Coaching this crew is invaluable."
Andrew brings a wealth of athletic expertise from his life as a professional dancer and is proudly certified through West Side Barbell and The Ready State.
HEAD OF OPERATIONS
Kati Vanloo
Also known as: KVL of all trades. Her insatiable curiosity has led to a variety of professional experiences ranging from PR and marketing, project management, fundraising, business coaching, professional dancing, fitness and dance instruction, nutrition counseling, and more.
When she's not in the gym with the Black Rose crew, you'll find her running her own business as a nutritionist and health coach, helping women master their metabolism and ditch diets for good.
HEAD OF GROWTH
shasta gibson
Shasta is an advertising exec by day and a Black Rose fixture by night. After playing sports most of her life, she joined the gym in 2017 and discovered a love for heavy barbells and feeling like part of a team again.
Outside of the gym she spends her time traveling with her fiancé, cuddling her English bulldog, and doing her part to keep Salt & Straw in business.
