Title: Gym to go into old arvest on brookside Post by: sooneralum2012 on August 24, 2016, 01:00:21 pm I was walking along brookside last night and noticed that the old arvest bank at 33rd & Peoria is undergoing renovations to be transformed into a gym. The gym is going to be called Revved Fitness and has an estimated opening date of December 2016. It looks like their will also be a health bar called Nutrify going into the same spot.
Glad to see the spot isn't going to sit empty much longer. Even though it's not a high end retailer, it does add some nice diversity to the area.

Title: Re: Gym to go into old arvest on brookside Post by: cannon_fodder on August 25, 2016, 07:03:34 am Good luck to them. Gyms can contribute life to a street.
But there are low barriers to entry, high competition, and spotty brand loyalty. Hence, there have been 5 or 6 open and 4 or 5 close in the last ~4 years in my neighborhood. I would think the high rate would be fatal to a gym at that location, but maybe being seen is worth extra fees for members?

I wish them luck but Peoria is going to be congested for at least another year.

That boss fitness location a block down is almost impossible to find even if you know where it is.

One thing I've noticed is that midtown is in desperate need of another high quality gym. Right now sky fitness at promenade is the only option in the area that provides the amenities people who are willing to pay 50-60 a month want. So that gives me hope it may work out. Either way, at least they are doing the renovations to transform it from a bank. If they do fail it will be a lot easier for some other business to pop in.

It doesn't have the newest equipment but it's a nice gym and convenient for midtown residents.
