The Edge Fitness Clubs has unveiled plans for a new Johnston, Rhode Island location called Edge Immersion. This venture is positioned as a next-generation concept that transforms a traditional high-value, low-price gym into a comprehensive wellness environment.
Planned services for the Edge Immersion concept include expanded strength and functional training zones, Olympic lifting platforms, turf areas, a full suite of group fitness studios including infrared yoga and Pilates, a recovery center with red light saunas, cold rooms, massage chairs, compression boots, and cryotherapy, plus women-only areas with dedicated glute zones and modern workspaces for members.
Because of its promise of versatility, Edge Immersion will appeal to someone who values both high-intensity training and deliberate recovery. Coupled with the price-conscious price, the gym concept certainly offers a compelling package.
