ORLAND HILLS, IL — A new fitness club opened its doors Wednesday just in time for New Year's resolutions.

The Edge Fitness Club cut the ribbon on its third Chicago area gym Wednesday at a building in Orland Hills. While the gym was first slated to open over a year ago, COVID-19 shipping delays pushed the grand opening to December.

A spokeswoman for the club told Patch members filled the entire 40,000 square foot facility on opening day at the 9291 West 159th Street location.
