Australian fitness concept to make Charlotte debut

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A popular Australian fitness concept is headed to the Queen City. Katie and Jim Williams have signed on as franchisees for F45 Training, which got its start in Sydney, Australia.

“We just see the need for additional fitness options,” Jim Williams says. “I think it will have the same success here that it had in Sydney.”

The couple’s first location is slated to open in November at 500 East Morehead Street. The fitness studio will occupy roughly 2,500 square feet.

Plans also call for a location in Cornelius. Lease negotiations are ongoing for a 2,500-square-foot space in the Magnolia Plaza complex, which could open in spring 2019.
