Massive Alpha Gym facility opening in Willis

Montgomery County Welcomes ‘Alpha Gym’: Massive 60,000 Sq. Ft. Fitness Hub Targets Early 2025 Opening in Former Gander Mountain Site

**CONROE, TX – [Current Date]** – Montgomery County is set to welcome a massive new fitness destination, Alpha Gym, targeting an early 2025 opening in the extensively renovated former Gander Mountain/Gander Outdoors building located at 12210 IH-45 N. Spanning an impressive 60,000 square feet, the facility promises to redefine fitness options for residents across the region.

Owner Kyle Williams, a long-time local entrepreneur and fitness advocate, is spearheading the ambitious project. He envisions Alpha Gym as the “Alpha Playground,” emphasizing functional fitness, strength training, and overall wellness in a sprawling, warehouse-style environment.

“We saw a significant need in Montgomery County for a comprehensive fitness facility that caters to everyone, from beginners to elite athletes, without being confined to a single methodology,” Williams stated. “The ‘Alpha Playground’ is designed to be incredibly versatile, allowing individuals to train in ways that best suit their goals, whether it’s heavy lifting, high-intensity intervals, or general conditioning.”

The sheer scale of Alpha Gym will allow for an unparalleled array of equipment and dedicated training zones. Plans include more than 100 pieces of state-of-the-art cardio and strength training equipment. The expansive space will also feature a dedicated turf area for agility and sprint work, impressive 20-foot walls that can accommodate various climbing and conditioning activities, and numerous boxing bags for combat sports enthusiasts. A significant CrossFit-style rig, designed for varied functional movements and group classes, is also in the works.

Williams emphasized that while the gym will incorporate elements similar to CrossFit, it will not be exclusively a CrossFit box, instead offering a broader spectrum of fitness programs and equipment accessible to all. The flexibility of the layout aims to create distinct, yet interconnected, areas for different training styles, promoting a dynamic and engaging workout experience.

Looking ahead, Williams has even more ambitious plans for the facility, including the potential addition of an indoor track for year-round running and walking, and a dedicated recovery room. This future recovery zone is slated to feature amenities such as a sauna and a cold plunge, offering members advanced therapeutic options to aid muscle recovery and overall well-being.

The choice of the former Gander Mountain building provides a highly visible and easily accessible location along Interstate 45, making Alpha Gym convenient for residents of Conroe, The Woodlands, Spring, and surrounding Montgomery County communities. The repurposing of the large retail space also represents a significant revitalization effort, bringing new life and economic activity to a prominent commercial corridor. Alpha Gym is expected to create numerous job opportunities, from certified personal trainers and group fitness instructors to administrative and maintenance staff, further contributing to the local economy.

As construction progresses through late 2024, Alpha Gym anticipates beginning pre-enrollment for memberships in the coming months. Those interested in learning more about membership options, facility updates, or career opportunities are encouraged to visit Alpha Gym’s forthcoming website, alphagymtx.com, or follow their social media channels for the latest announcements.

For Montgomery County residents seeking to elevate their fitness routine with a serious upgrade, Alpha Gym appears set to deliver a monumental new destination come early next year.
