ST. PETERSBURG — Youfit Health Clubs is about to open its 19th club in the Tampa Bay region.

Started in 2008 in St. Petersburg, the fitness center chain has been growing quickly. It now has 68 club nationwide and says it is adding new locations at a pace of roughly one a week.

The company, which is still headquartered in St. Petersburg, is opening a new club in the Carrollwood area, at 14350 N. Dale Mabry Highway, Tampa. At the same time, Youfit says it is also scouting around for more locations around Tampa Bay.

“We've tried to offer a concept - and an experience - that's much different than the usual health club,” company Founder/President Rick Berks says in a press release. “We're geared to the average person who just wants to stay in shape, rather than bodybuilders or 'gym rats.' We don't have long-term contracts...you pay month-to-month. We don't have salespeople...so there's no one pressuring you to join. And our goal is to have the Greenest clubs in America.”
