PORTSMOUTH An $800,000 makeover under way at the local Planet Fitness is expected to bring a host of new health and fitness options to its members.

The Portsmouth location opened in 2000, eight years after the nationwide health club chain was founded in Dover in 1992.

Since then, the facility has seen no significant upgrades other than to the equipment and a slight expansion.

But all of that is in the midst of changing.

Michael Peters, manager of the local gym, said work on the renovation project began earlier this month with the installation of 50-inch plasma televisions throughout the facility.

Peters said the upgrades also include relocation of the front desk area. If all goes as planned, Peters said, he expects the work to be complete by the end of July or early August.

With 542 gyms across the country and counting, Planet Fitness has 3.6 million members and is always willing to reinvest in the company, according to John Craig, director of brand development for the business.

"The company feels this is well worth it," he said. "This place has been here a long time. There's been lots of touchups over the years, but never anything like this."
