OHM Fitness has opened its first West Valley location in Peoria’s The Shops at Lake Pleasant in Arizona. One of the first fitness studios to offer small group workouts using electro-muscle stimulation (EMS), the studio’s 2,200-square-foot space marks a larger expansion plan for the company in the West Valley and nationwide.
The studio had a soft opening on November 11, attracting “over 200 members to its signature 25-minute workouts that deliver the benefits of a three-hour traditional gym session through advanced EMS technology,” reported the company in a media release.
Franchisees Casey Meyeres, April Meyeres, Candice Johnson, and Chris Johnson lead OHM’s West Valley location.
“This Peoria location represents the first of three planned OHM Fitness locations in the West Valley,” said Candice Johnson. “We’re investing in this community because we believe in bringing innovative fitness solutions to areas experiencing rapid growth.”
The venture represents a partnership between two local families. Longtime friends Casey and April Meyeres with Chris and Candice Johnson, joined forces to bring OHM Fitness to the West Valley after experiencing results as members of the fitness modality.
“What started as our two families driving 30 minutes to work out in Scottsdale has turned into an exciting business venture together,” said April Meyeres. “We believed so strongly in the concept that we wanted to make it accessible to our own community.”
The studio features OHM’s proprietary EMPower Suit technology, delivering wireless EMS training in a boutique fitness setting.
“The response from the Peoria community has been extraordinary,” said Casey Meyeres. “Members are experiencing impressive results with our low-impact, high-efficiency workouts, and we’re excited to finally be open to bringing OHM’s innovative workout to our own backyard.”
Located near popular brands, including Restore Hyper Wellness and Over Easy, the studio offers evolved EMS workouts with enhanced science-backed methods. The location features dedicated spaces for personal training and virtual coaching.
OHM Fitness has 17 locations nationwide, with seven opening in early Q1 2025.
