The Company That Closed X-Sport Gym Is Finally Opening a Nicer One in the Same Space

819 S. State, the 2nd floor gym space with an entrance at the base of the condo building (seen in the picture) is going to be a gym again.

Club Studio is moving in. What Now Chicago found the listing, and Mr. South Loop, who has had his eye on that storefront since last fall, says the same thing. Construction has started. No opening date yet.

Here is the part that got us. Club Studio is a Fitness International brand, and Fitness International owns LA Fitness. XSport had that space for years and closed not long after its chain got folded into LA Fitness. So by a circuitous route, the company that emptied the space is the company filling it back up, this time with a Pilates reformer studio, cryotherapy and cardio trampolines.

We are not complaining. That is a big dark retail space on a block that needs people walking past it.
