L.A. Fitness to Mandarin, Orangetheory Fitness to Tinseltown

health club news

More fitness centers are coming. L.A. Fitness will put its sixth gym in the Jacksonville area on Old St. Augustine Road in Mandarin. It’s going into Old St. Augustine Plaza, just north of I-295. The shopping center currently has a Publix, Burlington Coat Factory and Hobby Lobby. Part of the middle of the center will be torn down, and L.A. Fitness will put in a new 37,000-square-foot building.

Construction is expected to begin early next year.

Meanwhile, a new Orangetheory Fitness is going into the Shoppes of Tinseltown, off Southside Boulevard. It’s a much smaller facility, only 3,581 square feet. But the chain is built around one-hour, high-intensity workouts done in groups but aren’t really classes. The chain was ranked 60th in Inc. magazine’s list of the fastest growing companies in the country, released this week.

The Tinseltown studio will be the fifth Orangetheory in the area. Opening is expected mid- to late November.More fitness centers are coming. L.A.
