Harrisburg fitness enthusiasts can get their sweat on at a new YMCA location.
The Harrisburg YMCA on Thursday announced that it has taken over operations of the former “Fit on Market” fitness studio in Strawberry Square downtown.
The 3,420-square-foot boutique fitness center opened in 2020 at 312 Market St. and was operated by Harristown, the owner of Strawberry Square. However, beginning April 1, the Y began leasing the space and operating it.
“We are always looking for new ways to serve our members where they are, and this space allows us to bring the YMCA mission directly into the center of downtown Harrisburg,” said David Ozmore, president & CEO of the Harrisburg Area YMCA.
Previous Fit on Market members’ rates will be matched until their membership terms end. Strawberry Square tenants and Fit on Market members can get 20% off the standard Y membership rate, if applied for before the end of June.
YMCA members can access the new location even when Strawberry Square is not open. Shower facilities and lockers are available to all members.
On-street parking downtown is free before 8 a.m. and after 5 p.m., and all day on Sundays.
According to the Y’s press release, the organization’s expansion reflects its commitment to the revitalization of downtown Harrisburg. The Market Street gym is the Y’s second downtown location, with its first being located on N. Front Street.
“We welcome the Harrisburg Area YMCA as our new tenant here to bring its respected brand to Strawberry Square,” said Brad Jones, president & CEO of Harristown. “Serving both the workforce and residential populations here in the city, this location will add a very convenient branch to the YMCA lineup of central PA locations.”
