JOIN THE CREW
CREW FITNESS, a row studio concept based in Mobile, Alabama, will debut
its first expansion unit this spring in the Houston Heights. Husband and wife
team Dan and Marcia Strange will own and operate the facility, which will
anchor Bungalows on 22nd Street, a boutique retail destination now under
construction at 715 W. 22nd., between Shepherd and Durham and steps
from Kraftsmen Baking and the future H-E-B.
“I’m excited to be back in this thriving city, where fitness is an integral part
of so many people’s lives. Studio rowing – offering low-impact, high-intensity
interval training that works both cardio and strength – is a newer and far
from saturated option in Houston,” said Marcia Strange, who grew up in the
Richmond/Rosenberg area.
