YouFit Gyms (formerly YouFit Health Clubs) is a national chain of fitness clubs. In October, 2021, YouFit underwent a company-wide rebrand,[1] including a new name and new personalized services, investing more than $20 million to fully update and renovate all 80 facilities in 10 states.

Background[]

In 2021, Brian Vahaly, a private equity executive and former professional tennis player, became CEO of YouFit Gyms.[2] The COVID-19 pandemic had a devastating impact on the fitness industry[3] and Vahaly had guided the chain out of bankruptcy during the pandemic.[4]

YouFit was founded by Rick Berks.[5] The first YouFit, in St. Petersburg, Florida, opened in 2008[6] and grew to over 100 gyms across the United States.[6] Berks retired from YouFit in May 2020.[7]

Locations[]

There are currently 80 YouFit Gyms across 10 states. Florida, Arizona, Texas and Georgia have the most locations. YouFit Gyms also has locations in Alabama, Louisiana, Virginia, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania and Maryland.
