The Zoo Health Club has leased 17,000 square feet at Somerset Shopping Center in Bridgewater, marking the national fitness chain’s first location in the Garden State. The 219,000-square-foot center is exclusively leased and managed by commercial real estate services firm Levin Management Corporation (LMC).
Vanessa Fernandez, an LMC leasing representative, negotiated the long-term lease. Jonathan Cashion of Katz & Associates represented the tenant.
“Located in the heart of one of the state’s wealthiest counties, Somerset Shopping Center is a stellar location for any retail tenant,” said Fernandez. “The Zoo Health Club is a growing, affordable fitness franchise with 48 clubs currently open nationwide. This newest location will complement the existing tenant mix at Somerset Shopping Center and serve as a great new amenity for those who live and work nearby.”
The Zoo Health Club offers a wide variety of cardiovascular, free weights and strength training equipment; personal training; and a fun and challenging assortment of group exercise classes, including indoor cycling, yoga and Zumba. Facilities include locker rooms and showers, and an on-site Kids Club gives youngsters a safe, fun place to play while their parents workout. Affordable membership options make fitness goals easily attainable.
“What makes The Zoo Health Club unique is that our workout model caters to all demographics,” said David Barone, who owns the Bridgewater franchise. “At this new facility, exercisers of all ages and fitness levels are welcome. Somerset Shopping Center is a well-located, well-maintained and accessible shopping center, making it the perfect location for this chain’s entry into the New Jersey market. I look forward to introducing The Zoo Health Club experience to residents of Bridgewater and surrounding communities.”
