Onelife Fitness is plotting a $12 million, 60,000-square-foot full-service club at Perring Plaza in Towson, a move that would drop a big-box gym into the East Joppa Road corridor. The company says the facility will include pools, recovery studios, group-fitness rooms, and childcare, pitched as a premium yet affordable option for Baltimore County residents. If approvals move forward, construction could reshape the shopping center’s tenant mix and add a new competitor to the area’s fitness market.
According to the Baltimore Business Journal, the Towson club represents about a $12 million investment and would occupy roughly 60,000 square feet at Perring Plaza. The outlet reports that the project joins two other regional Onelife projects currently under development in the Baltimore area.
Where the Club Would Go
Perring Plaza, identified at 1951 East Joppa Road in public filings, is a long-standing shopping center marketed with available retail suites, according to a public SEC filing. The plaza sits along a busy stretch that feeds into Towson and Parkville neighborhoods, so a 60,000-square-foot club could raise questions about traffic and parking for nearby residents and businesses.
What It Could Mean for Towson
The club would deepen Onelife’s Maryland footprint and put a new full-service option up against existing local facilities, from community centers to private gyms. Onelife has been investing in the region, including multi-million-dollar projects elsewhere in Maryland, a signal that this Towson plan is part of a broader growth push, as reported by Newswire.
Next Steps and Timeline
Neither Onelife nor county officials have posted a firm opening date for the Towson club. Onelife’s sign-up page lists contact details for presale inquiries, as shown on Onelife Fitness. Local planning and permitting will be required before construction can begin, and residents should expect to see formal filings with Baltimore County in the months ahead…
