AVON — A pair of former drill sergeants are challenging rural people to fall in and get in shape at Fueled Fitness, which opened its third location in Avon in November. The new 24-hour fitness center is at 70 East Main St., in the Tops Plaza.
Brothers Gregg and Connor Mark, co-owners of the expanding fitness center business, also operate locations in Mount Morris and Dansville. The brothers hope to provide access to quality gym equipment to rural areas like the ones where they grew up.
