Club Studio Fitness is planning a second Santa Monica club, this time along Wilshire Boulevard rather than inside the mall that already hosts its first beachside location. The boutique fitness brand’s planned Santa Monica-Wilshire Blvd. club has no specified opening date.
WhatNow reported that the new club is planned for 2001 Wilshire Blvd. in Santa Monica. The building at that address was constructed in 1980 and spans 106,813 square feet, according to PropertyShark.
If it opens, the Wilshire club would mark Club Studio Fitness’s second Santa Monica outpost, joining its existing club inside Santa Monica Place. That mall location is already up and running: it occupies a 48,000-square-foot space that replaced the first level of the former Bloomingdale’s, according to a 2023 Macerich announcement. The Santa Monica Place club held its grand opening on Sept. 19, 2026, per Westside Current, and features five boutique studio rooms for CS4, boxing, cycling, heated yoga and reformer Pilates.
What a Club Studio Membership Looks Like
Club Studio Fitness blends traditional gym amenities with boutique-style classes. Its format includes reformer Pilates, the CS4 cardio and strength program, cycling, boxing and heated yoga, the station’s report notes, alongside recovery-oriented extras like saunas and steam rooms.
The Santa Monica Place club specifically offers cryotherapy, HydroMassage beds, Normatec compression therapy and a dedicated recovery room, according to the same Westside Current account of its grand opening. A separate description of the brand’s broader offerings, via What Now Los Angeles, lists free weights, cardio equipment, a lap pool and a basketball court as part of the format, with additional wellness features including a steam room, sauna, whirlpool spa and cryotherapy.
A Fast-Growing Fitness International Brand
Club Studio Fitness was founded in 2022 in Irvine, California, and is operated by Fitness International LLC, the same company behind LA Fitness, Esporta Fitness and City Sports Club, according to Macerich. As of July 2023, Fitness International reported more than 700 locations across 27 U.S. states and Canada under its various brand names.
Club Studio itself already has locations at Santa Monica Place, 555 West 19th St. in Costa Mesa and 3949 Portola Parkway in Irvine; its Beverly Hills location at 8484 Wilshire Blvd. is listed as coming soon. Fitness International continues to expand the Club Studio brand on the West Coast, according to Chain Store Age, and the company’s club finder lists several other coming-soon spots, including a Scottsdale South location on Scottsdale Road, with additional planned clubs both inside and outside California.
Separately, Santa Monica has approved a 260-unit apartment project at the site of the former Gap store near Wilshire Boulevard and 20th Street, according to Westside Current. The project sits in the same general corridor where Club Studio Fitness is now eyeing its potential second Santa Monica club, though no timeline, permit, or lease information for the Wilshire Boulevard gym has been made public.
