Welcome to Thursday, loyal readers. Here’s what you need to know today.
K Street gym reopens
Here’s some encouraging news for Downtown Sacramento: After a long temporary closure, locally based California Family Fitness has reopened its gym at 1012 K St. The gym is currently operating on a modified schedule, which could expand based on attendance. Learn more on the location’s website.
“We are pleased to confirm that we have reopened our Downtown club after a prolonged closure related to the Covid-19 pandemic. As we continue to assess downtown traffic and our member’s needs, the club will operate with limited hours. We anticipate continuing to expand club hours and look forward to celebrating a full reopening in the near future,” Cal Fit representatives said in a written statement.
The Downtown Sacramento gym initially shut its doors to slow the spread of Covid-19. When it remained closed last summer, Cal Fit President and CEO Randy Karr told me he was evaluating the situation downtown to determine a schedule for reopening. He described the K Street location as one of Cal Fit’s “commuter clubs” that previously relied largely on traffic from office workers.
Speaking of downtown …
A three-story restaurant and bar space that previously housed The Pier Nightclub, Bar & Grill is reopening later this year, with the new owners planning to revive the concept that closed in 2018. Nasser Azimi, a partner in the planned business, said aside from some cosmetic upgrades, the business operating out of the space at 419 J St. in Downtown Sacramento will largely remain the same. Learn more in this article by reporter Jake Abbott.
