Maplewood local Brian Crowell and his father Wayne Crowell (the former Maplewood fire chief) have teamed up with Ron Glass to create a 6,500 square foot facility set to feature workout areas, training, showers and lockers. East Side will provide space for do-it-yourself workouts, cardio circuits, and personal training sessions. Classes in cardio, strength training, and group exercise will be added in 2010. The 5 am weekday opening time will allow commuters to come for an early workout, take a shower, and then catch the nearby jitney to the train station, while childcare will allow parents to work out while their kids are nearby.
