BETHLEHEM TWP., Pa. – A new fitness facility, promising a “better gym experience,” is opening soon in the Lehigh Valley.

Asylum Fitness, offering a wide array of cardio and strength training equipment along with personal training and group fitness classes, is planning to open within the next few months at 2920 Easton Avenue, Suite 5, in Bethlehem Township, Northampton County, general manager Coty Moyer said.

The Shops at Bethlehem space was previously occupied by a Maxx Fitness location, which closed last year.

The Asylum Fitness team started improvements on the space about a month ago, and the gym should be open to the public by late fall, Moyer said.

Asylum Fitness will feature all new equipment, including top-of-the-line treadmills, ellipticals, stair climbers, stationary bikes and strength machines, along with free weights and functional training equipment such as battle ropes, medicine balls, resistance bands and push-pull sleds.

The new gym also will feature upgraded locker rooms, childcare services and a designated room for Zumba and other group fitness classes.

“We’re passionate gym-goers who understand what you’re looking for,” a message on the gym’s website reads. “Whether you’re a serious lifter, in the military, a first responder professional, or simply seeking functional and fun fitness, we’ve got the equipment, trainers, and coaching to support your goals.”

Asylum Fitness will operate daily, with morning, afternoon and evening hours, Moyer said.

It will offer monthly memberships, with no long-term contracts, no enrollment fees and no annual fees, Moyer said.

Membership plans and pricing are still being finalized, but individuals can stay updated on the latest announcements by sharing their e-mail address on the “notify me” section of the gym’s website, Moyer said.

Discounts will be extended to military members and first responders, Moyer added.

“Commitment should be to yourself — not to your gym,” a message on Asylum Fitness’ website reads. “That’s why we offer the freedom and flexibility to fit your lifestyle. Enjoy simple billing every month with no long-term contracts, or just pay per visit when you’re in town.”

Individuals will be able to choose the features that fit their goals, with options to purchase training, coaching and classes a la carte. 

“Upgrade to VIP access for exclusive perks,” a message on the gym’s website reads. “You’re in control of how you train, who you train with, and what you pay for.”

The Shops at Bethlehem is in a fast-growing area, on the border of Bethlehem and Bethlehem Township, with new and under-development apartment complexes.

The Giant-anchored shopping center is home to more than a dozen other tenants, including Petco, Vic’s Bagels, Poke Bar 25 and Dave’s Home Furnishing. 

Spice Crust Pizzeria, offering made-to-order pizza, burgers, cheesesteaks and other dishes, opened in April.
