With Port Covington almost fully shielded and a hotel coming in Fells Point, Kevin Plank’s next frontier is downtown. The Under Armour owner is planting the flag with a new gym at 10 Light St.
A three-floor Performance Center is slated to open later this year. The Baltimore Business Journal reports it will include a turf field in addition to machines and space for group classes. A salon, spa and cafe are also likely moving in.
The effort is a partnership between Under Armour and Hunt Valley-based FX Studios, which, according to the Baltimore Sun, is owned by Plank’s personal trainer. FX Studios currently runs a similar gym at Under Armour’s headquarters in Tide Point.
The tower at 10 Light St., known as the Bank of America building, is one of Baltimore’s prime addresses. The gym gives Under Armour a presence among the city’s business center like never before.
