Peaches Fitness Club, the women-focused gym that siblings Rachel Berrier and Sean Kaplan opened in Albuquerque in June 2024, is planning to expand with a new location on the city's Westside. Ground-up construction on the project is expected to begin next month, according to an article preview.
The expansion was first reported by The Business Journals, which detailed the brother-and-sister team's plans to grow their women-focused fitness business into a second Albuquerque location. Berrier and Kaplan built the original Peaches as, in the company's own words, a place designed specifically around the way women want to train, according to the gym's About Us page. The company describes itself as locally owned and built for the women of Albuquerque.
What the Current Gym Offers
Peaches currently operates out of 2801 Eubank Blvd NE, Suite P, in Albuquerque, per the gym's website. Every membership, whether month-to-month or on a 12-month plan, includes access to classes, a sauna, equipment and a cold plunge, the same listing notes.
Members can take yoga, Pilates, Zumba and strength-training classes, and the gym also offers certified, women-focused personal training and nutrition coaching, according to the same source. That built-out class and wellness menu has made Peaches one of the names that show up when locals go looking for something beyond a standard big-box gym; a guide from ABQ Mom groups it among the area's specialty gyms, part of a broader category of fitness businesses built around distinct offerings.
A Busy Moment for Albuquerque's Gym Scene
The Westside move comes as Albuquerque's fitness market has seen other expansion activity, though the details of those moves have not been independently confirmed beyond initial reporting. A report attributed to Albuquerque Business First said Crunch Fitness planned to open two more Albuquerque locations in fall 2025 after re-entering the market that January, with figures describing a $16 million investment and 200 jobs tied to that expansion. Separately, a report attributed to the Albuquerque Journal said Genesis Health Clubs had acquired New Mexico Sports & Wellness, a chain with five Albuquerque-area locations.
Neither of those reports' underlying figures or terms have been independently verified beyond the initial accounts, but together they paint a picture of a local gym market where chains are actively buying, building and expanding. Against that backdrop, Peaches is pressing ahead with its own growth, betting that a homegrown, women-focused model can carve out space on the Westside even as larger operators move through the city.
For now, the specifics of the new Westside site, including its address, size, cost and projected opening date, have not been detailed beyond the plan to begin ground-up construction next month. Peaches has not released additional information on staffing or membership plans for the second location.
