Bronko Lemke, owner of , who bought into and will merge the two businesses, told Patch that a planned expansion is getting bigger. 

The new facility, called Snap Fitness and Training Center, which will be at the current Snap Fitness location next to and , was originally going to expand by 1,200 square feet into unused space in the building. Now, Lemke says he and business partner Jamie Jerdee will lease an additional 1,400 square feet of unused space.

The existing Snap space will be used for cardio, personal training and a functional training space, Lemke said. The 1,200 square foot build out will become the weight room, while the 1,400 square foot build out will become a studio for exercise classes, suspension training, kettlebell, cycling, kickboxing, boot camps and teen weight-training classes.

Lemke, NAC last year, is hopeful the expansion will be completed by early May.

NAC members will become Snap members, Lemke said, which will give them access to the 24-hour facility Snap touts. 

Lemke said the merger is a good business move when there is a saturated fitness market, like there is in Northfield.
