The Edge Fitness Clubs plans to launch its first Infrared Yoga Studio in Fairfield, CT, in early November, marking the first phase of the company’s multi-state amenity expansion plan.

By integrating boutique-style modalities into its large-format clubs, The Edge aims to “bridge the gap between affordability and innovation, providing members with access to cutting-edge fitness experiences under one roof,” the company stated in a media release.

In addition to expanding its group fitness options, the clubs will offer “premium” strength-training equipment, including “top-tier” free weights, “selectorized  and plate-loaded” equipment, and “functional” training tools.

The new amenity additions include:

  • Infrared Yoga – Combining traditional yoga with the restorative benefits of infrared heat for enhanced flexibility, detoxification and recovery.
  • Edge Core – Small-group Pilates reformer sessions focused on precision, posture and strength.
  • Edge Lift – Semi-private strength-training designed to build confidence, technique and measurable results.
  • Finish Recovery – A dedicated space for stretching percussion therapy and restorative tools for faster recovery
  • Edge StrongR – A high-intensity, coach-led class built around community and measurable progress.

The Edge Fitness Clubs Fairfield is the first location to offer these upgrades, beginning November 6. The brand will continue to expand its footprint across the Northeast and Midwest, with additional amenity launches planned in multiple markets through early 2026, reflecting the company’s long-term strategy to move beyond the traditional gym model by integrating wellness, performance, and recovery into the member experience.

“At The Edge, we’ve always believed that premium fitness experiences shouldn’t come with a premium price tag,” said Founder and President Vinny Sanson. “Our new amenities, starting with Infrared Yoga, deliver boutique-quality programs within the full-service fitness environment our members know and love.”

Founded in 1988, The Edge Fitness Clubs has over 350,000 members across its 43 locations in nine states: Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island.
