Fitness Options Abound In Oak Cliff

WHEN CLAIREVISTA and Anytime Fitness opened over a decade ago, our neighborhood finally gained choices in where to sweat it out.

Beyond the fitness center at Methodist hospital, City of Dallas recreation centers and a few boxing gyms, there wasn’t much else.

Then came a (now-defunct) yoga studio, a couple of Planet Fitness franchises, and soon after, that marker of a hip neighborhood that’s no longer esoteric, a smattering of personal- and cross-training gyms.

Now the fitness game is really on.

A pilates studio opened on West Davis in October.

Dana Jones opened Duro Pilates because she needed a place in the neighborhood to practice the discipline.

Jones and her family live on the second story of the old Cannon’s Village shopping center on West Davis at Edgefield.

“Since we own that building, and we had a tenant moving out, I thought I’d just do it myself,” she says. “I want it to be a place for neighbors to come and do pilates without going outside the neighborhood.”

Besides that, our neighborhood also is getting a mega gym.

LA Fitness signed onto the new plan for Wynnewood Village and will build a 34,000-square-foot center on Illinois Avenue. An LA Fitness of similar size opened in Delaware last year, boasting indoor swimming pool, full-court basketball gym, racquetball courts, a whirlpool spa and strength and exercise classes such as boot camp conditioning, cycling, kick-box cardio, Pilates and yoga.

Construction could begin this year.
