Exciting Developments in Midlands Fitness: New Gyms and Changes
The fitness scene in the Midlands is evolving rapidly, with several new gym constructions and renovations taking place. Whether you are a seasoned fitness veteran or just starting, these developments could offer you fresh opportunities to pursue your fitness goals.
New Openings in Lexington
In the Red Bank area, Planet Fitness is expanding its reach with the opening of a new two-story facility at Platt Springs Crossing. This mixed-use development, overseen by Mimm’s Contracting and NAI Columbia, is making significant strides. The latest updates indicate that the building’s exterior is nearing completion, with windows recently installed.
Mimm’s Contracting has shared on social media, “This is one of those moments where the building really starts to come to life—with natural light, clean lines, and visible progress.” Scheduled to open soon, Platt Springs Crossing encompasses 57 acres and is set to host a variety of businesses, including a Lowe’s Foods, Panda Express, Whataburger, Chipotle, and a Prisma Health urgent care facility.
Columbia’s New Hustl Athletic Club
Columbia is also making waves in the fitness community with the upcoming launch of Hustl Athletic Club. A renovation permit was issued for the facility located at 1815 Barnwell St., allowing for interior demolition and upgrades. With two training facilities planned, the Hustl Athletic Club aims to be a premier destination for fitness enthusiasts.
The facility is expected to open early this year, and the brand is set on offering a sports performance space at 1124 Shop Rd., anticipated to debut in March. These new options are sure to cater to various fitness needs, whether you are looking for general workout facilities or specialized training.
West Columbia’s Transformation
In a noteworthy change, MUV Fitness at the Westside Plaza Shopping Center has transitioned to Revolution Fitness. This shift occurred in April 2025, marking the end of MUV Fitness’s presence in the area. While other locations across Columbia have been rebranded as Onelife Fitness, the West Columbia branch remains unique in its new identity.
Revolution Fitness now serves as the primary gym in West Columbia, positioned across from a recently opened Planet Fitness. This neighborhood transformation reflects the dynamic shifts occurring in the fitness landscape of the Midlands.
Conclusion
Whether you’re looking for a new gym or simply curious about the latest fitness trends, the Midlands offers exciting options. From the expansive Planet Fitness in Lexington to the innovative Hustl Athletic Club in Columbia, there’s a facility to match every preference and fitness level. Keep an eye out for these developments, as they promise to enrich the local fitness community. With these new establishments, now is the perfect time to set your fitness goals and embark on a healthier lifestyle.
