EoS Fitness reports it opened in 2026 with strong momentum as the brand continued to scale across core markets. The High Value / Low Price (HVLP) gym operator with over 225 locations open or on the way nationwide said it opened the year with strong momentum as the brand continued to scale across core markets.

EoS reportedly acquired 14 gyms, signed 11 new leases and opened three new locations to reinforce its long-term growth strategy.

“The continued expansion brings EoS closer to its goal of operating 250 gyms by 2030 while maintaining a sharp focus on consistency, innovation, value, and accessibility,” the company wrote in a media release.

Acquired Big-Box Gym Locations Across Four States
The newly acquired gyms in the U.S. are in Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Each is expected to receive a full redesign before reopening as EoS Fitness over the next year. The company said the renovations are designed to “transform the traditional big-box gym spaces into the high-energy, modern fitness environments” that EoS said it is known for in the market.

“Our growth this quarter reflects strategic expansion paired with purposeful reinvestment,” said Rich Drengberg, CEO of EoS Fitness. “We are scaling with intention by entering the right markets, upgrading facilities at scale, and continuing to raise expectations for what value-driven fitness can deliver.”

New Openings, New Leases and Continued Reinvestment
Beyond acquisitions, EoS reportedly opened three new gyms and signed 11 new leases in high-growth markets in the first quarter. The company also said it reinvested $10 million in existing gyms during the quarter, optimizing gym floor layouts and elevating technology and functionality.

“For us, opening new gyms is about more than adding locations,” said Richard Idgar, chief operating officer, EoS Fitness. “We focus on building environments that operate efficiently and feel exceptional for our members. That operational discipline allows us to grow quickly while maintaining a consistent, premium experience across all markets.”

EoS is also expanding its footprint in Los Angeles with a $6 million renovation of its studio on Sunset Blvd. in partnership with Kimco Realty. Expected to open in 2027, the project will add to the brand’s Southern California presence, which now includes more than 53 locations open or on the way.
