EoS Fitness to open 40,000-square-foot gym in south St. Pete

The Phoenix, Arizona-based gym franchise EoS Fitness is expanding its footprint with its first St. Pete location.

EoS Fitness, a low-cost gym known for its smart technology and high-end amenities, will replace the old Bealls department store, which closed in July, at 2830 54th Avenue South just outside the city’s Skyway Marina District.

The 39,600-square-foot gym will join other tenants at the Seville Square shopping plaza such as Publix, Bank of America, and Truist.

Bealls was one of the original anchor tenants at Seville Square when the plaza was built in 1988. The Publix, located on the west side of the plaza, was originally an Albertsons when the building was constructed in 1976, pre-dating the rest of the shopping center by 12 years.

The plaza is owned by Tampa-based RMC Property Group, one of Florida’s largest full-service real estate companies.
