Time to get in shape, FIT3 debuts in Tysons Corner

If you are looking forward to Tysons Corner becoming a walk-able neighborhood, it may be time to get in shape. FIT3, billing itself as “America’s largest fitness, health and wellness superstore” opened its doors in October at the corner of Leesburg Pike and Spring Hill Rd., home to a former Circuit City. The 20,000 square foot store is the first in what the owners hope will become a nationwide chain. FIT3 is part sports specialty retailer and part fitness center. It sells top brand fitness equipment and accessories as well as specialty products for yoga, boxing and mixed martial arts. And why not get in a workout while you are shopping? Tucked between the racks of workout gear is a yoga studio (free classes daily), simulated running track and martial arts/boxing ring. They also sell vitamins, nutrition supplements and athletic footwear, featuring computerized, personalized sizing. It is a one-a-kind, one-stop-shop for fitness, exercise and nutrition that is big, bright and new. And while we can’t control the traffic on Leesburg Pike, we can tell you the parking at FIT3 is spacious and free.
