About Us

The origins of the current day Fitness Zone started in 1987, when a trio of friends opened the World Gym in Beverly, MA. The World Gym became a fixture on the Gym scene, and flourished throughout the 1990’s. In 1996 the Fitness Zone took over the Cape Ann Nautilus & Fitness space in Blackburn Center, and became our second location. The World Gym was sold in 2000, and today the Fitness Zone remains an inspiring and vibrant part of the Cape Ann Community.

We have been owner operated from our start, immersed in the daily goings on of the facility, and membership. Our years of hands on ownership has allowed us to be uniquely in tune with membership, facility and equipment needs and maintenance. Our expertise has developed over 30 years of involvement in the fitness Industry. We pride ourselves on our diversity of equipment. We know what works, new or vintage, bringing our members the best equipment available. We have chosen all the equipment to give our members the necessary tools to achieve the fitness goals, for all fitness levels.

One look around the Fitness Zone, you will see and feel an inspiring and energized facility that is an affordable, friendly, and clean operation. A staff that is committed and knowledgeable. A top quality training program, with the best trainers in the area. A healthful high-protein smoothie bar, and 24/7 accessibility.

We are proud of the Fitness Zone, and where we stand at this time. However, we will never stand still, the transformative condition that we have embraced, is the foundation of our success. Every day we ask, ” How can we do better, become stronger, wiser, and improve upon the Fitness Zone.” Every day we set out to effect the changes necessary to move us forward…. to make the Fitness Zone better than the day before, and through all the change and transformations, that has been our only constant. Thank you all for the privilege of serving this wonderful community.
