Youfit Health Clubs opens 5th metro fitness center

Youfit Health Clubs, a Florida-based fitness chain, has opened its fifth location in metro Atlanta, the company announced this week.

The new club is in Suwanee at 2855 Lawrenceville Suwanee Road and joins clubs in Norcross, Kennesaw, Douglasville and Buford.

Youfit markets itself as a no-frills fitness center where budget-minded patrons who aren’t interested in becoming bodybuilders pay by the month. The chain’s founder, Rick Berks, also founded the Planet Fitness chain in the early 1990s, though he later sold the trademark.
