The improved Showers Drive 24 Hour Fitness will offer a new pool area, steam room, sauna, group studio and additional training space. In total, Newell estimates that the club will be about 35,000 square feet and equate to more functional space than either of the two existing clubs. For comparison, the California Street club’s square footage is in the “low 30s,” Newell said.
“It’ll be more than enough to accommodate all of the existing members from both of these clubs in Mountain View, and then also more than enough to accommodate new members as well,” he said.
The fitness chain has multiple locations in the south Bay Area with about 10,000 members.
As 24 Hour Fitness makes headway with its own construction plans, Los Alto School District’s plans to add a 10th campus in the shopping center come into clearer view.
For the past decade, the district has tried to solve an “overcrowding issue” by adding a new campus. In 2019, through a complex deal involving a $ 150 million bond measure and the use of transfer of development rights (TDRs), the district purchased 11.7 acres of property in the San Antonio shopping plaza.
The site purchased by the Los Altos School District will be the future home of a new school campus.
But the district doesn’t expect to open its school until 2025, a timeframe that was established in January of last year during a school board meeting. When the Los Altos School District Board of Trustees convened in October, district assistant superintendent Randy Kenyon said the campus will be a two-story building with about 900 students.
Keyon could not be reached for comment by the time of publishing this article.
