Walnut Valley Outpost opened as "Cowley Fitness" in March of 2013. It all started with owner Tara Sutton offering small group fitness training. As a practical application of her master's degree in aging studies and graduate certificate in public health Tara knows how absolutely vital physical fitness is for staying healthy throughout life. Unlike the latest fitness craze the principles of strength and fitness never go out of style and are sustainable over a lifetime. No matter whether you are an athlete at heart, mom or a grandmother keeping up with the grandkids there is something for you in our fitness classes.  

In 2019 Cowley Fitness grew into Walnut Valley Outpost. Bicycles have always been in Tara's heart, she grew up on a cattle farm in Missouri exploring the nearby dirt roads, creeks and fields on her bike. When she discovered how wonderful Cowley County is for gravel cycling it reignited all the feels of freedom and wonder. Walnut Valley Outpost was born from a need to service our local community and also share how wonderful our community is with the world! We host group rides and events throughout the year. Our shop is filled with things for the beginner to the most advanced cyclist. We're here to repair what you break and guide you along the way. We can't wait to see you out there riding!

We're here for you and we'd love to hear from you!
