A look into our story, our people, and the community that calls EBC home.
When we moved to Eastlake, we found plenty of places to book personal training. What we missed was somewhere we could walk in, follow our own routine, and get to know the people training beside us. So, we took over The Performance Fix, a training studio with nine years of history in Eastlake. We began opening it up to more ways of working out, bringing open gym access and small group personal training together in one club.
The goal was simple: give Eastlake a well-equipped gym people could use every day, with great coaching available when they wanted it. Our move to the historic Hines Public Market building made that possible, creating a new home with daily access from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m., 365 days a year.
We want EBC to be a place you look forward to coming back to. Somewhere you can get stronger, feel comfortable, and find a few familiar faces along the way.

Read our Code of Conduct
Eastlake has a character all its own, shaped by the people who live here and the businesses they keep coming back to. We’re proud to be part of that mix. By working with local studios, practitioners, and independent businesses, we’re helping build a fitness community that reaches beyond our own front door.
yoga & Wellness
Our partnership with Datza brings yoga into the EBC experience, giving members another way to move, stretch, and make time for themselves. It’s a natural complement to strength training and a chance to connect with another local community.
Food & Coffee
A workout can be the start of a good afternoon. Eastlake Coffee gives our members a place to catch up, take a breather, and enjoy a local favorite. Our Afternoon Perk is a small way to keep those everyday connections growing.
Barber & Grooming
Ransom Studio is part of the independent business community that gives Eastlake its personality. Our partnership gives members another reason to shop locally and support the people bringing their own creativity to the area.
physical therapy
Our official physical therapy partner in nearby Westlake, Rise Performance adds another connection to our fitness community. When members are looking for physical therapy support, we have a local practice to point them toward.
