The project will be operated by franchisee The Undefeated Tribe and become its eighth location in the San Antonio market. The club will combine traditional strength and cardio equipment with specialized training and recovery amenities. Planned features include Olympic lifting platforms, a functional HIITZone with indoor turf, group fitness classes, hot yoga, Reformer Pilates, TRX training, and personal training.
