T&C Fitness Club lunges into new facility – Austin Weekly News
T&C Fitness Club held its grand opening June 1and is now offering daily classes at its new location. Though some locals are seeing the space at 5910 W. Chicago Ave. for the first time, several others visited the previous version of the business.
After the Austin YMCA closed in 2012, it became the Austin Community Family Center. Cornelius Coe was one of the founders and director of operations at the community center. In 2016, Katrina Coe, a personal trainer, came in to ask about offering fitness classes.
The two started dating and, later, got married. They shared a dream of opening their own gym, since Katrina’s classes of up to 70 people had outgrown the space.
“We wanted to give more to our community and build something for our community and for our people who have been with us for years,” Katrina Coe said.
T&C Fitness Club — named after Trina, short for Katrina, and Cornelius — boasts exercise equipment and machines, a basketball gym and a large space for classes. Visitors can sign up for a $24.99 monthly membership to access the weight room and basketball court or drop in for weight training, high-intensity interval training and cycling classes.
Along with fitness offerings, the Coes wanted to preserve the mentoring, summer camps and social service programs offered at the community center. These will be held in the facility’s community room, which is available to rent for small events, conferences and meetings.
“It was important that we found a facility that was not only big enough to house the machine that she built,” Cornelius said of Katrina’s fitness classes, “but also to bring everything over that I had built and to combine it into our own kind of fitness-health-type hub.”
Since opening T&C Fitness, the Coes have had several people sign up for memberships and classes.
“Business is pretty much similar to what it had been when we were over there,” Cornelius said of the community center. “We’re hoping now to just make it way bigger and better.”
“My hope is that we’re just not a fitness club,” Katrina said. “What we created here is a fit family. The reason why our clients have followed us is not just because we have classes, it’s because their lives have truly been impacted,” through improved health and fitness and a changed mindset, she said. “It’s the accountability they receive when they come in. It’s the sisterhood, the brotherhood.”
T&C Fitness is open daily from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. at 5910 W. Chicago Ave.
