Fitness International plans to open Club Studio locations at 8484 Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills and 2001 Wilshire Boulevard in Santa Monica. The Santa Monica site would be the brand’s second in the city; opening dates, club sizes and specific amenities have not been announced.
Fitness International plans to add two Club Studio locations in Los Angeles, with proposed sites at 8484 Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills and 2001 Wilshire Boulevard in Santa Monica. The expansion would broaden the company’s premium group-fitness concept in Southern California, although the company has not provided opening dates or detailed plans for either club.
The Santa Monica site would be Club Studio’s second location in the city, according to the report by Athletech News. The brand currently operates a handful of clubs in Southern California, based on information on its website. The available announcement does not specify how many clubs the chain will have once the new sites open.
Fitness International says both planned clubs will bring together boutique-style group classes, strength and cardio equipment, personal training and recovery amenities. The company has not identified the precise equipment, recovery services or class schedules planned for either address, and has not said how large the clubs will be.
Nick Roberts, Fitness International’s chief real estate officer, described the neighborhoods as a fit for the company’s approach. He said residents and workers in the areas were seeking more than a conventional gym experience. That is the company’s rationale for the locations; the announcement did not include customer research or other data supporting the claim.
Two New Sites Extend Club Studio’s Reach
The planned openings would increase Club Studio’s presence in two high-profile Los Angeles-area communities and give residents and workers nearby another option beyond a conventional gym. The locations would combine classes, gym equipment, personal training and recovery services in a single membership-based setting, according to the company’s description.
The expansion also illustrates Fitness International’s investment in a concept positioned above its traditional big-box gym model. Club Studio is designed to bring several studio-style workouts together in one place, rather than focusing on a single format such as cycling or Pilates. For prospective members, the exact value and convenience will depend on details that have not been announced, including pricing, schedules and which amenities will be available at each club.
For the local fitness market, the sites add to the range of formats competing for customers who want instructor-led classes and gym access. The plans alone do not establish how many jobs the clubs may create, how many members they could serve or what effect they may have on nearby businesses.
How Club Studio Combines Fitness Formats
Fitness International, the parent company of LA Fitness, launched Club Studio in 2023 as a higher-end alternative to traditional big-box gyms. The concept brings five boutique fitness studios under one roof and offers six class formats, including HIIT, cycling, boxing, reformer Pilates, yoga and trampoline-based workouts.
Club Studio also promotes recovery services such as cryotherapy, massage beds, compression therapy and percussion therapy. Those services are part of the brand’s broader fitness and wellness positioning, but the announcement does not confirm which ones will be installed at the Beverly Hills and Santa Monica sites. The company describes the model as a combined destination for classes, equipment and recovery rather than a single-purpose studio.
The Los Angeles plans form part of a wider expansion push. Athletech News reported that Club Studio is targeting major markets including Los Angeles, New York City and Houston. The report did not give a timetable, address list or opening count for those other markets, so the two announced sites are the only specific locations covered here.
Opening Dates and Club Plans Pending
No opening dates have been announced for either location. Fitness International has also not released the clubs’ planned sizes, membership prices, construction schedules or expected capacity. The announcement does not say whether both sites will open at the same time.
It is also unclear which specific classes and recovery amenities will be offered at each address. The company’s general Club Studio description includes several formats and services, but that does not confirm that every offering will be available at both new clubs. No additional information about permits, construction progress or hiring was provided in the source report.
The plans identify street addresses, but the report does not give further details about the properties or explain whether any site preparation has begun. The scale and timing of the broader expansion in New York City, Houston and other markets also remain unspecified.
Further Details Await Company Updates
The next confirmed milestones would be Fitness International’s announcements of opening dates and club-specific details. Those updates could clarify class programming, recovery services, membership options and the timeline for each address. Until the company provides that information, the two locations should be understood as planned additions rather than clubs with confirmed launch dates.
Prospective members and nearby residents can watch for updates on Club Studio’s website and from Fitness International. The company has not stated when it expects to release its next update, so no opening timetable can yet be reported.
