Multimillion-dollar gym to open in north Manatee County

A new $5 million fitness facility in Parrish is getting prepared to open just as summer is heating up. 

A Crunch Fitness franchisee, CR Fitness Holdings, is opening a 28,000-square-foot facility at the Creekside Commons shopping center in Parrish at 8840 U.S. 301. The opening date has not been set due to county permitting and inspections, a company spokesperson says, though the goal is to have the facility open by late summer. 

The cost of land and construction for the facility, including equipment, was $5 million.
