To think that speedwalking seniors were once the only ones getting a workout at the mall. FIT on the Garden brought free yoga and Pilates classes to the Pru during the summer. Come spring, Somerville’s Assembly Row will open FitRow, a 15,000-square-foot home for five boutique fitness studios, including Title Boxing Club, which offers both boxing and kickboxing classes, and Orangetheory Fitness, which delivers heart-rate-monitored, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) via treadmills, row machines and floor exercises. Three other tenants are still TBD, but a Squeeze Juice Company bar will be pressing produce from an onsite garden maintained by Green City Growers. Meanwhile, Chestnut Hill’s The Street is about to welcome a YogaWorks location, soon to be joined by outposts of Btone Fitness—whose workouts are performed on the Megaformer machines favored by Hollywood physiques—as well as Barry’s Bootcamp, another HIIT hub that alternates treadmill time with strength training. And less than a mile away, the bygone Atrium mall is being transformed into the Life Time Center, which will house medical offices and Life Time Athletic, the company’s third and largest Massachusetts location at 129,000 square feet. Slated to open in the spring, the facility will include seven studios for yoga, cycling, Pilates, barre and other group fitness classes, along with an LT Medical department offering chiropractic and physical therapy services, a spa, a cafe and 400 cardio and resistance machines lit by the same skylights that once greeted shoppers.
