Construction has begun on Texas Family Fitness, located in the southeast corner of the Hillside Village Shopping Center. The 32,000-square-foot gym is scheduled to open in March 2020, district manager Edgar Valdez said.

The two-story gym will feature free weights, cardio machines, hydro massage, red light therapy, a turf area and several studios for group classes, Valdez said.

Residents can enroll now and begin training in a smaller space across the street until the new location at 6464 Mockingbird Lane opens. Pre-enrollment rates start at $7.99 per month with no enrollment fees.

The gym’s Lakewood location will fill the remainder of the Albertsons that has been closed since 2016. Property owner Northwood Retail partitioned the 55,400-square-foot space into two spaces.

The other tenant is ASI Gymnastics, which opened in May.
