XSportsFitness has listed a location coming soon to Fort Totten, specifically at South Dakota Avenue & Galloway Street NE. That of course is the location of the Art Place at Fort Totten development. The website states that in addition to cardio equipment, the gym will offer a number of amenities such as group fitness classes, pool/whirlpool, sauna, basketball court, personal fitness training, tanning salon, and children’s play area.
We know that the brokers for Art Place have been targeting a gym (the team has publicly stated interest in a gym and a gym has been pictured in all of the renderings). We have seen businesses prematurely announce upcoming locations on their websites in the past only to backtrack (here’s looking at Carolina Kitchen/TKO Burger), but we are still posting this here since it is on the company’s website and the representative we spoke to on the phone confirmed that they are in the beginning stages of opening a gym in that location. One more item to check off our neighborhood wishlist!

I wanted a gym so maybe I will get motivated. Lol Sent from my Kyocera Rise
Agreed Barbara, a gym has always been at the top of the wishlist. It will be a while before it opens, so you have time to find a gym buddy so that you can stay motivated to use it when it does open!
Does anyone have any idea when the location is going to be open? It had originally said Spring 2016, and now on their website and when you call customer service they don’t even give you a vague idea of how much longer its projected to take.
Hello, according to the broker’s website, the project will be completed in May 2017. The retail spaces will be turned over to the retailers in Dec 2016 for buildout. See this link:
