Confirmed: A Popular Gym Chain is Adding a 2nd Tyler, TX Location

Instead of just heading out on his normal route to work out yesterday, a buddy of mine, hoping to duck rush hour traffic here in Tyler, TX, decided to punch Planet Fitness into his phone GPS.

His thought being that a different way may save him a couple of minutes and a headache. He was surprised though when his GPS tried to take him to the outdoor mall, over there next to Studio Movie Grill.

I've been hearing rumblings about a new Planet Fitness in the Rose City, and we can now confirm that those rumors are true. It's great news for folks in South Tyler who are now set to get a new gym in the Cumberland Shopping Center.
