Essentia Health Fitness and Therapy Center to Relocate to Miller Hill Mall
They Hope to Open This Fall
DULUTH, Minn. – Essentia Health says they plan to relocate their Fitness and Therapy Center to the first floor of the former Duluth Younkers department store.
The new fitness center will fill half of the first floor space and will offer a larger exercise area, more equipment and larger locker rooms.
Essentia plans to invest $15 million in the purchase and remodeling of the 145,000 square-foot-store.
“Essentia Health saw an opportunity to contribute to the redevelopment and vibrancy of the Miller Hill Mall,” says Brad Beard, chief operating officer of Essentia Health’s East Market. “Essentia Health is always looking for locations to better serve our patients and employees. As we grow, we need affordable space that helps reduce the cost of care to our patients.”
Members and patients can also look forward to:
- Larger aerobics studio
- Two dedicated therapy gyms for greater privacy
- Expanded personal training services
- A walking track
- Free, convenient parking
Plans for the rest of the building are still being developed and will be announced when they are finalized.
The new center is expected to open this fall.
