CITRUS HEIGHTS, CA (MPG) - Club Studio Fitness, a new cutting-edge fitness training club in the Sunrise Village Shopping Center, celebrated its grand opening on Monday, Sept. 16, opening its doors to some 1,000 new members to its 36,000-square foot state-of-the-art health club at 5419 Sunrise Boulevard.

Club Studio, adjacent to the new Amazon Fresh grocery store still under construction bills itself as “state-of-the-art” and will offer several high-end services for members, according to Brandon Garcia, the studio’s general manager.

“It’s been a long time coming,” Garcia said. “We’re excited to welcome our new members and invite the public to tour the club and see what we offer.”

According to a company brochure, Club Studio offers fitness “in a class of its own.” The facility creates “a cutting-edge fitness experience that brings top-of-the-line amenities, best in boutique studio classes and wellness services together in one state-of-the-art gym.”

The parent company, Fitness International, whose brands include LA Fitness, City Sports Club and Esporta Fitness, spent approximately $10 million to remodel the building’s interior and on new equipment, said a company spokesperson, its director of public relations.

The Citrus Heights health club is the fifth Club Studio location to open by the company which plans to open 10 such branded locations nationwide by the end of 2024, and 23 locations open nationwide by the end of 2025.


Plenty of treadmills, ellipticals and more are available for member use.


The studio closed a smaller satellite site open on Greenback Lane and Sunrise Boulevard next to Red Lobster late this summer where customers were able to sample fitness equipment and purchase memberships while construction was ongoing.

“We had a very good pre-sale period,” Garcia said. “A thousand new members was our target membership goal, and we have exceeded it.”

Garcia provided a pre-opening tour of the club before it welcomed its new members for their first workouts on Monday morning.

“Club Studio Citrus Heights features five such boutique fitness studios and spacious free weights, strength, functional training, and cardio areas, along with recovery services (including cryotherapy, red-light therapy), personal stretch stations, upscale locker rooms and more,” Garcia said.

Services include multiple fitness classes, a weight room, a recovery lab which includes hydro massage beds, compression therapy, cryotherapy and red-light therapy and a med lab, which will include vitamin B12 shots, IV treatments, Botox, and facials.

The new studio also includes full locker rooms with showers and infrared saunas, along with a café, which will serve smoothies, snacks, pre and post workout energy drinks and more, Garcia said.

A full schedule of yoga, hot Pilates, high intensity interval training, a trampoline class, low impact fitness classes, and boxing and weightlifting classes were being finalized, he said.

Club Studio has a staff of about 46 people, and an additional 30 instructors who lead classes, said Jessica Curlo, operations manager. The club has a capacity of about 500, she said.


Club Studio Fitness sells athletic wear and other attire at its on-site store.
