East Atlanta Family Fitness Center to open as fourth fitness center for the greater East Atlanta area

East Atlanta Village is getting a fitness center.

Ace Hardware, which closed last year, is slated to become a health club, according to East Atlanta Patch.

Located at 1231 Glenwood Ave., the 11,360-square-foot space had been advertised available for lease since the hardware store’s closure.

East Atlanta Patch spoke with Jim Camp of Adams Commercial Real Estate, the company marketing the property.

Camp said the fitness center will open Aug. 1 target and will be called the East Atlanta Family Fitness Center (EAFFC).

EAFFC will operate 7 days a week, will feature a child-care drop-off area, free weights, treadmills and full-circuit work-out stations.

Several readers have been in contact with us hoping for details as to what would open in the hardware store’s place, noting they’d like more restaurant options.

Considering the size of the space, a fitness center makes sense.

What are your thoughts? Does the EAV need a fitness center or would something else be better suited?

  1. EAV does not need a fitness center; it needs an ACE hardware or a grocery store (you know, businesses that that are necessary for a real neighborhood to thrive).

  2. I’ve lived in this neighborhood since I was 13 and am now 55. It’s nice to see it come alive again. I am dissapointed to see Ace go away.
    I also don’t think we need another fitness center. I think it would be great to have a “Family Style” restaurant. There are a lot of places for younger people to hang out, but what about those that have children and would love to go out for a meal without having to drive 10 or more miles to get there.
