Updated: The first FIT36 franchise to be located in Seattle, FIT36 Ballard is holding its grand opening this Saturday morning after several weeks of getting up to speed.
As its name suggests, FIT36 is a 36-minute, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workout. The Ballard studio, located at 5601 24th Ave. NW, is run by Alejandro and Madalyn Crisafi.
“Madalyn and I have always dreamed about becoming business owners,” said Alejandro Crisafi. “It was our desire to invest in a business model that helped others.”
This Saturday’s grand opening will feature three morning classes (schedule), and the studio is offering two weeks of complimentary classes from Jan. 13th to the 26th. For each new member sign-up during the next two weeks, FIT36 will donate $10 of food to the Ballard Food Bank.
The addition of FIT36 sets up a bit of fitness studio showdown: Fitness 19 is located across the street, at the opposite end of the same block.
