Alpha Gym brings warehouse fitness to Willis in 2025

**Willis Gears Up for Alpha Gym: 20,000 Sq. Ft. “No Frills” Fitness Hub Led by Experienced Partners**

WILLIS, TX – A significant new fitness establishment, Alpha Gym, is preparing to open its doors in early 2025, promising a sprawling 20,000-square-foot facility dedicated to a “no frills, just fitness” approach to strength and conditioning. Located at the former Stagecoach Storage site at 11800 Clark-Willis Road, the venture is a partnership between seasoned fitness entrepreneur Daniel Gist and long-time fitness enthusiast David Lieder, who aim to fill what they identify as a substantial gap in the local market.

The expansive new gym will occupy the entirety of the former storage facility, undergoing a comprehensive renovation to transform it into a state-of-the-art training environment. Upon completion, Alpha Gym will offer 24/7 access to its members, operating on a flexible no-contract basis, a feature designed to appeal to a broad spectrum of fitness enthusiasts in the rapidly growing Willis area.

Daniel Gist brings a wealth of experience to the partnership, having successfully owned and operated Fulshear Fitness and CrossFit Seize in Fulshear, Texas, for many years. His track record includes building thriving fitness communities and guiding countless individuals through various training disciplines. David Lieder, a long-time patron of Gist’s previous establishments, joins as a partner, contributing his local insight and a shared passion for creating a dedicated training space.

“We saw a massive void for this style of training in Willis,” Gist explained. “The community here is vibrant and growing, but there wasn’t a dedicated facility catering specifically to serious CrossFit, Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, and general strength training without the added fluff. We want to create a place where the focus is solely on performance, progress, and community.”

The 20,000-plus square feet of space will be meticulously outfitted with extensive equipment for diverse training methodologies. Members can expect a full range of gear for CrossFit, Olympic weightlifting, and powerlifting, alongside a comprehensive selection of general strength training machines and free weights. A substantial area will be dedicated to cardio machines, complemented by a large turf space ideal for functional training, sled pushes, and agility work.

Beyond the equipment, Alpha Gym will feature practical amenities crucial for its members. These include private restrooms, showers, secure lockers, and a dedicated kid’s corner, allowing parents to train with peace of mind. For those seeking structured guidance, certified coaches will lead regular CrossFit classes, leveraging Gist’s deep expertise in this high-intensity training methodology.

Lieder expressed his enthusiasm for the project and its potential impact on Willis. “Having trained with Daniel for years, I know the quality of the environment and coaching he creates. Bringing that caliber of fitness facility to Willis is incredibly exciting. We believe Alpha Gym will become a cornerstone for health and wellness in our community, offering a professional yet welcoming space for everyone from seasoned athletes to those just starting their strength journey.”

The opening of Alpha Gym is expected to contribute to the local economy through job creation for coaches and support staff, as well as attracting residents from Willis and surrounding communities looking for a specialized fitness experience. The partners are currently overseeing the extensive build-out and plan to release more specific information regarding membership options and pre-opening specials closer to their early 2025 launch.
