A fitness chain with more than 250 locations across the Southeast is planning a new workout facility in Simpsonville.
Simpsonville City Council earlier this month unanimously approved first reading of the annexation and rezoning of two tracts totaling roughly two acres on Southeast Main Street to make way for a new gym. City Planner Jon Derby confirmed the facility will be a Burn Boot Camp.
The new gym will be the company's fourth in the Upstate, joining two others in Greenville and one in Spartanburg, according to the Burn Boot Camp website.
The Simpsonville facility will sit next to Hope Church across the street from Heritage Village, near Heritage Park.
According to the Burn Boot Camps website, its gyms offer 45-minute, trainer-led workout sessions. The workouts offered typically follow the high intensity interval training model, a form of exercise that alternates brief rests with periods of vigorous exercise. Trainers also offer guidance on nutrition.
Each location has a fully staffed childcare center, the cost of which is included in membership.
City Council will vote on second reading of the annexation and rezoning during its December business meeting.
