BETHESDA FITNESS FIRST LOCATION UNAFFECTED BY GOLD'S GYM TAKEOVER

Local gym chain Fitness First has been acquired by Gold's Gym, according to The Washington Post's Jonathan O'Connell.

O'Connell quoted Fitness First founder Peter Harvey as promising that only the downtown Bethesda location would be "unaffected," with the others becoming Gold's Gym.

But why?

Let me fill out the rest of the story:

Fitness First is in 7900 Wisconsin Avenue, a building that will likely be torn down in the next year. JBG is redeveloping the site as a mixed-use residential building, which I gave you an update on the other day here.

Columbia Bank has already closed in that building.
