Broadway Marketplace to Debut a New EOS Fitness Hub in Tempe

Tempe, AZ – A fresh wave of fitness options is on the horizon for residents of Tempe, as the Broadway Marketplace development announced that the well‑known EOS Fitness brand will open a new location in its sprawling mixed‑use complex. The facility, slated for completion in September 2025, will occupy a substantial portion of the 300,000‑square‑foot retail and residential space that has already begun to transform the downtown corridor.

A New Pillar for the “Live‑Work‑Play” Community

Broadway Marketplace, an ambitious project spearheaded by the city’s downtown revitalization plan, already boasts a lineup of flagship tenants, including a Target, a Barnes & Noble, and a Whole Foods Market. The introduction of a full‑service gym is a strategic move to round out the ecosystem and keep residents within the complex for health, shopping, and living needs.

“The addition of EOS Fitness is a natural fit,” said Maria Sanchez, project manager for Broadway Marketplace. “We’re creating a space where people can work out, dine, shop, and live all in one place. It’s part of the vision to turn downtown Tempe into a vibrant, 24‑hour community.”

The new gym will occupy roughly 70,000 square feet of the building’s lower floors, offering a mix of cardio, strength training, and specialty classes. According to the EOS Fitness website, the space will include:

• Cardio & Weight‑Training Suite – 40,000 sq ft of state‑of‑the‑art equipment, from treadmills and ellipticals to free‑weight stations and functional‑training zones.
• Group‑Fitness Studio – 20,000 sq ft dedicated to spinning, yoga, Pilates, and high‑intensity interval training (HIIT) classes.
• Spa & Recovery – 5,000 sq ft of sauna, steam, and massage services.
• Kids’ Play Area – a supervised, play‑zone that lets parents exercise while their children are entertained.
• Private Training Rooms – 10 rooms for one‑on‑one sessions or small group coaching.

EOS Fitness is known for its “no‑membership‑fee” policy in certain locations, and the Tempe location will follow suit. Membership will be priced at $60 per month, with a complimentary one‑month trial for new sign‑ups. The gym will also offer a corporate wellness program for local businesses, encouraging a healthier workforce.

Economic Boost and Job Creation

The partnership is expected to generate more than 30 direct jobs, including trainers, support staff, and front‑desk personnel. In addition, the new gym will drive traffic to nearby retailers and restaurants, boosting sales for the complex’s existing tenants. Local economic analysts project that the increased foot traffic could result in a 4‑5% uptick in sales for neighboring businesses in the first year of operation.

Tempe’s Mayor, David Smith, praised the development as a “win‑win” for the city. “A new fitness center not only meets a community need but also fuels local employment and enhances the overall attractiveness of downtown Tempe,” he said during a press conference earlier this week.

Community Outreach and Accessibility

EOS Fitness has highlighted its commitment to community engagement. The company will host a series of free “Open House” events in the weeks leading up to the grand opening, providing residents of Broadway Marketplace with complimentary classes and tours of the facilities. Additionally, the gym will partner with the Tempe School District to offer after‑school fitness programs for middle‑school students.

The new location will be fully accessible via public transit, with a dedicated bus stop and ample bike racks on the building’s exterior. An entrance will be located directly on Broadway, ensuring easy pedestrian access from the main retail corridor.

The Grand Opening

The official ribbon‑cutting ceremony is scheduled for September 25, 2025, and will be attended by local officials, community leaders, and members of the EOS Fitness family. The event will feature a free fitness class, a guided tour of the new facilities, and a press briefing on the gym’s offerings and community initiatives.

“We’re thrilled to bring the EOS Fitness experience to a city that values health, community, and innovation,” said Mark Kahn, CEO of EOS Fitness. “Tempe’s vibrant downtown and growing population make it an ideal location for a gym that offers both quality and convenience.”

Looking Ahead

Broadway Marketplace’s newest tenant is part of a broader trend of mixed‑use developments integrating wellness spaces into their core offerings. As Tempe continues to attract young professionals and families, the addition of a full‑service gym will help solidify the city’s reputation as a modern, livable hub in the Phoenix metropolitan area.

With its blend of convenience, community focus, and quality fitness programming, the new EOS Fitness at Broadway Marketplace promises to become a cornerstone of downtown Tempe’s live‑work‑play lifestyle.
