Anytime Fitness to relocate – Blair Enterprise Publishing

Anytime Fitness of Blair will finally have a home of its own after opening in 2009.

The gym, located in a strip mall at 2100 S. 20th St., by Walmart, will be moving into the former Washington County Technology Center building at North 19th and Washington streets this fall. The building has been vacant since the facility closed in 2015.

Ronnie Nichols, owner of Anytime Fitness since it opened, said the new location will have more parking and about 900 square-feet of additional usable space.

"I can't expand here," he said this week. "It's just best to be in my own building."

Nichols decided to open an Anytime Fitness when he was working for FedEx Ground. He delivered to a new Anytime Fitness location in Council Bluffs, Iowa. He was intrigued that the gym was available 24 hours per day, seven days a week to members via key fobs.

Nichols, who was living in Fort Calhoun at the time and has since moved to Blair, sold his FedEx route, and planned to open his own Anytime Fitness franchise. He decided on Blair.

"It was close to home," he said. "Blair is a perfect size for an Anytime Fitness."

The gym now has nearly 1,000 members, although membership fluctuates throughout the year. Nichols has one contracted personal trainer.

Interior demolition is expected to begin in early June, he said. New flooring and a security system will be installed. He's targeting October or November to reopen in the new space.

"We're pumped," Nichols said.
