LA Fitness to Open in December on Liberia Avenue

LA Fitness is set to open the doors to its 45,000 square foot Manassas facility in early December. 

The facility joins fitness giant Gold's Gym and the smaller fitness franchise TITLE Boxing Club on Liberia Avenue, making it at least the third gym on one of the city's busiest retail strips outside of Old Town.

 In addition to offering indoor basketball and racquet ball courts, childcare and group fitness, the club will also have a junior-size Olympic swimming pole, staff said.

The pool has three swimming lanes and a standard water temperature of 87 degrees. 

 It will be one of three indoor swimming pools in the Manassas area.  Until September, the Freedom Aquatics and Fitness Center on the Manassas campus of George Mason University had the only indoor pool in the area.  

The Central Park Aquatic Center at 10371 Central Park Dr. in the Manassas area opened in September, according to Prince William Today reports. 

In addition, LA Fitness offers a tiered spinning room so all spinners can see their instructor, no matter where their bikes are in the room, staff added. 

Crews began construction on the new gym earlier this year in a Davis Ford Crossing Shopping Center parcel that was once the home of an international foods store.

LA Fitness plans to open at least two more locations in the Washington DC area—one in Bowie on Friday and the other in Mitchellville by first quarter 2014, according to a Washington Post report.

 There are about 18 LA Fitness locations in the Washington area, including a center in Woodbridge. 

The Manassas location's address is 9902 Liberia Ave. The phone number is 703-334-0439.
