EoS Fitness, a fast‑growing Texas‑based gym chain, confirmed plans to build a new 40,000‑square‑foot facility in Willis. The company’s spokesperson said the gym is expected to open its doors in 2028, providing Willis residents with expanded fitness options and new employment opportunities.
Location and Site Details
The gym will be situated in a developing shopping center on the southeast side of I‑45 and FM 1097. EoS Fitness has signed a long‑term lease for the freestanding site, positioning the facility near existing retail and dining options that are already attracting traffic to the corridor.
What the New Gym Will Offer
Typical EoS Fitness locations feature a broad range of amenities, and the Willis gym will be no exception. Members can expect:
- Group fitness classes ranging from high‑intensity interval training to yoga and Pilates.
- Personal coaching and training programs tailored to individual goals.
- A full free‑weight area, including barbells, dumbbells and squat racks.
- Recovery equipment such as foam rollers, stretching stations and cardio‑low‑impact machines.
These offerings align with the chain’s mission to provide a welcoming environment for families, fitness enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
Impact on the Local Economy
The addition of a large‑scale gym is expected to create a variety of jobs, from construction workers during the build‑out to full‑time staff once the facility opens. EoS Fitness currently operates 35 locations across Texas and has announced plans for an additional 32 sites, indicating a strong growth trajectory that could benefit the Willis community.
Local officials have expressed optimism that the project will contribute to the area’s economic development, drawing shoppers to the surrounding retail center and increasing tax revenue for the city.
