Planet Fitness Coming to Roseville

New health club center expected to open in time for New Year's.

Taking over a retail space formerly home to a Circuit City electronics store, Planet Fitness is coming to Roseville.

The New Hampshire-based fitness center company will be occupying 25,000 square feet adjacent to neighboring Sports Authority in a small shopping district that is just south of Highway 36 and east of Fairview Avenue.

"They (Planet Fitness) are currently about half done with the renovations and remodeling and expect to be open before the first of the year so as to be ready for all the New Year’s resolutions,'' Pat Trudgeon, Roseville community development director, told Roseville Patch.

With Planet Fitness taking the space that has been vacant since Circuit City's shuttering in 2009, Roseville will no longer have any significant empty retail spaces, Trudgeon said. "Good to see that the economy is coming back, at least in Roseville."

Meanwhile, officials at Planet Fitness could not be immediately reached for comment.
