CITRUS HEIGHTS, CA (MPG) - The main lobby of Club Studio Fitness, a cutting-edge fitness training club in the Sunrise Village Shopping Center was bustling Saturday morning, Sept. 27 during its first anniversary.

Some members stopped to check out a variety of informational booths set up for the special occasion.

“It’s been an amazing year,” said Brandon Garcia, the studio’s general manager. “Our membership is over 3,000 and steadily growing.”
