New fitness-center concept opens its doors in San Antonio

A health club out of Colorado is taking the personal-trainer fitness model to a whole new level.

Highlands Ranch-based Fitness Together recently opened its first facility in Alamo Heights. The business occupies roughly 1,600 square feet at the Vineyard shopping center, which is located at the northwest corner of Loop 1604 and Blanco Road on the far North Side.

Unlike other fitness clubs that offer personal trainers as one of many services, Fitness Together’s exclusive focus is on providing personal trainers for customers.

“This is more high-end than anything San Antonio has ever seen,” says Zack Marks, CEO and president of Fitness Together in San Antonio; he will be heading up the development of the franchise here.

Marks’ program calls for getting four to five Fitness Together locations set up throughout the San Antonio area over the next five to six years. Locations near the Alamo Heights community in North Central San Antonio as well as the tony community of the Dominion in Northwest San Antonio and the city of Boerne — which is just northwest of the city — are all areas of interest, he adds.
