The Edge, with a reported membership base of over 350,000, announced a $25 million investment in a comprehensive refresh of existing clubs to elevate the member experience as it continues to grow across the Northeast and Midwest.

The investment will support the rollout of new features, including new equipment, expanded amenities and branded updates that unify and elevate the in-club experience. These renovations have already begun in numerous locations across the country.

“We’re entering a new era for The Edge,” said company President Vinny Sansone. “This $25 million-plus reinvestment strengthens our position as one of the most innovative and accessible fitness brands in the country. We’re bringing the premium, design-forward experiences typically found in luxury fitness clubs into a big-box gym environment at a price point that stays true to our mission.”

“As the fitness and health landscape evolves, we’re building toward a more integrated vertical, one that blends ’boutique-in-a-box’ studio fitness, strength training, recovery, wellness, and smarter nutrition and progress tracking into a single, cohesive experience,” Sansone continued.

“We’re upgrading every touchpoint of the in-club journey so our members, current and future, benefit from cutting-edge strength equipment and elevated amenities that deliver true boutique fitness experiences through Edge Lift, Edge InfraRed, and EdgeCore, as well as a forward-looking brand standard designed for the next generation of health-focused consumers—those seeking sustainable results, performance, and long-term well-being, not quick fixes.”

The announcement coincides with new executive hires this year, including Jake Malzahn, VP of Sales; Jenn Kuehn, VP of Studio Fitness & Programming; and Mike Poirier, VP of Fitness, “bringing deep industry expertise across member experience, revenue growth and performance innovation to accelerate the company’s vision for 2026 and beyond.”

Founded in 1988, The Edge Fitness Clubs operates 43 member clubs in 9 states, including Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island.
