Machines in place, Total Fitness opens

The doors are open and the equipment is in place.

Total Fitness, the newest business to get into shape in Austin, is holding what owner Jennifer Jenkins is calling a “soft opening” Sunday at its strip mall location between Jimmy Johns and Sassy Strawberry.

The front part of the gym where the weights, cardio machines, treadmill and elliptical machines are located will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. up until around mid-June when the fitness studio opens.

Once that happens the gym will move to its 24-hour, seven days a week schedule.

“I’m excited,” Jenkins said. “It’s all starting to come together. We’ve been painting an empty room for a long time and now it’s starting to fill up.”

Those interested are invited to come out to the gym Sunday and check it out.
