CUMRU TWP., Pa. – A new performance center is set to help individuals level up their fitness routines in Berks County.

Alliance Fitness Center will hold a grand opening of its new AFC Performance Center, a dedicated training center for athletes and an official HYROX affiliated gym, on Nov. 21 at 2255 Lancaster Pike in Cumru Township, according to a news release.

The opening also marks a milestone: 35 years since AFC opened in 1991.

The celebration will feature a celebrity appearance by Tamilee Webb, star of the legendary “Buns of Steel” video and FIT TV fitness series.

“AFC Performance Center is the next chapter for us,” owner Sarah Small said in the release.

“After 35 years of leading Berks County with innovative programming, we’ve built a space where athletes can train like athletes, and where our community can experience HYROX right here at home.”

HYROX, the fast-growing global fitness race, combines running with functional workout stations and is open to everyone from first-timers to elite competitors.

As a HYROX affiliated gym, AFC Performance Center will offer HYROX training alongside sport-specific strength, speed, and conditioning programs for athletes of every age and level, from high school competitors to adults chasing their next personal best.

The 13,000-square-foot performance center will offer strength training, functional fitness equipment, more than 40 yards of turf, a rock climbing training center and more, according to the center’s website.

For those who prefer to train on their own schedule, AFC Performance Center also offers open gym memberships with full access to the facility’s equipment and training space.

AFC Performance Center’s grand opening celebration on Nov. 21 will feature a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 9 a.m., special class taught by legendary “Buns of Steel” star Tamilee Webb at 10 a.m., and cocktails and door prizes (including a one-year membership valued at $1,500) from 5 to 7 p.m.
