Fitness Facility Plans Western Springs Opening

WESTERN SPRINGS, IL - A fitness center that's grown significantly since it first opened in Chicago's Beverly neighborhood two years ago is planning to open a second location. This one will serve residents of the western suburbs with a location on the corner of 47th and Gilbert Avenue in the Garden Market Shopping Center of Western Springs.

Owner Jennifer Harkins said she expects to open the Western Springs gym in February 2018.

"We are so excited to expand Treadfit to Western Springs, and can't wait for everyone to experience all that this workout has to offer," Harkins said. "With a smaller class size and plenty of one-on-one encouragement and instruction, Treadfit stands out from other facilities in the area. Our clients have the opportunity to experience high energy, transforming classes that leave them feeling rejuvenated and challenged."

Treadfit offers 50 minute workout classes using interval training on the treadmill coupled with full-body strength training, according to a news release. All classes are led by experienced and certified trainers and feature workouts open to all fitness levels, including walkers, joggers and hardcore runners. Class sizes are maximized at 15 people.

At the Western Springs location, Treadfit will offer 22 classes every week. Costs start at $17 per class.

"This is a workout experience that is designed for everyone," Harkins said. "We look forward to providing our Western Springs clients with a new workout experience and know they will be amazed with the results."

In Beverly, Treadfit has more than tripled its client base since opening in 2015 and now has more than 2,000 visits from clients every month.
