Come Labor Day, area residents will have another choice for where to get their workout with the announcement that Boost Fitness of Hudson is coming to town.

The local, independent chain of fitness centers recently announced it will open its seventh fitness center at 553 Main St. (Rte. 38) around Labor Day weekend.

The 20,000-square-foot Tewksbury club, which will employ 25 to 30 people, will feature a large exercise room for group classes, a cross-training area and a room for spin, an exercise using stationary bicycles.

There are six other Boost clubs across Massachusetts located in Auburn, Northboro, Hudson, Oxford, Westford and Worcester.

“One benefit of our multiple locations is that members can use any of our clubs, 24 hours a day,” says owner Mark Federico in a press release on the company’s website. “In addition to convenience, we offer fitness classes, personal trainers and the latest equipment. As a result, we’ve grown and are now the largest independent chain in central Massachusetts. Middlesex County is a natural extension of our expanding market.”

A traffic light being installed on Rte. 38 will improve access to the club, according to Federico.

Federico said the size of Boost Fitness is an advantage to his business, as well as to club members. Boost has been in business for about a decade and is big enough to provide members with stability, unlike smaller clubs, but it is also small enough to respond to member needs and provide more personal attention than large chains.

Federico says he decided to open a location in Tewksbury, because he believes the area is underserved and because a prime location was available. To date, membership pre-sales are high. Anyone interested in joining the Tewksbury club can sign up online for as little as $9.99 at www.myboostfitness.com. Boost Fitness also offers individualized, group and semi-private fitness training.
