Actor and fitness enthusiast Mark Wahlberg gave media a tour Monday of Municipal Gym, his new upscale fitness facility opening in Downtown Summerlin. The 55-year-old star said the location, a former Bed Bath & Beyond space near Trader Joe's with ample parking and highway access, was chosen because it's about a mile from his home. The gym spans more than 30,000 square feet and will officially open for business in late December, followed by a grand-opening party in January.
The facility includes standard workout equipment such as cardio machines, dumbbells, squat racks and specialized gear like Booty Builder, but also offers recovery amenities including cryotherapy, red-light therapy, an infrared sauna and a eucalyptus steam room. Wahlberg said the gym features "super high-level bodybuilding stuff" but is designed for everyone from elite athletes to beginners, with an emphasis on training like an athlete and making daily progress.
Membership rates are $129 per month for standard access or $179 per month for additional services, with pre-opening discounts currently available. Wahlberg declined to disclose the total build-out cost but emphasized, "We're not cutting any corners, that's for sure." Clark County permits previously showed more than $2.4 million for tenant improvements and $600,000 for exterior work.
EoS Fitness is providing operational support for the venture, including marketing, finance and human resources. Wahlberg, who has become an advocate for expanding film production in Las Vegas since moving to the area, said his team is looking to open more Municipal Gym locations in Southern Nevada and Los Angeles, noting they have already signed leases for additional sites.
