The block got a little healthier Wednesday around Tom Hill Sr. Boulevard with the opening of Planet Fitness.

The 16,500-square-foot gym opened in the former Regal Cinema.

The Florida-based fitness center has been pre-selling memberships for about six or seven weeks, but it was slow-going for a while, said David Crumbley, Planet Fitness regional manager. Crumbley said people were skeptical because they were not familiar with the business, but when the doors opened Wednesday, people were flooding in. They know were here to stay, he said.

Crumbley said the centers target audience are people who have never belonged to a gym before. We like to keep it relaxed and welcoming, he said.

More demonstrative gym users and serious bodybuilders are welcome at Planet Fitness, but Crumbley said they should watch their behavior or theyll set off the centers Lunk alarm.

The large red light over the strength training area will be activated and the alarm will sound if a lifter grunts too loud or drops weights on the ground.

That intimidates people, Crumbley said.
