The gym and fitness club is expected to open this fall at the site of the former Arnold Bowl.
ARNOLD, Mo. — A new fitness center is expected to open in Arnold in late 2026.
A Planet Fitness gym and fitness club is scheduled to open in September at 1140 Jeffco Blvd., where the former Arnold Bowl used to operate, said Mike Hamilton, Midwest Fitness Partners COO.
The Midwest Fitness Partners purchased the bowling alley in 2022, and the group already owns 21 other Planet Fitness locations throughout the St. Louis area.
Hamilton said Arnold looked like a good spot to open the new gym.
“We believe it is an underserved community that does not have a high-value, low-cost gym,” Hamilton said. “Some of our members who belong to nearby clubs have given us feedback. They have said, ‘I can’t believe you are not in Arnold.’ It took us a while to find the right location.”
Hamilton said construction on the 35,000-square-foot, two-story gym in Arnold is expected to start in March, and the building may be completed in August.
