Planet Fitness is behind the construction a few blocks down from its current location on the Boston Post Road in Orange.
A demolition-only permit listing Planet Fitness as the owner/tenant was issued to West-Hartford-based Haz-Pros on Dec. 21 for remodeling work in a currently-unoccupied building at 440 Boston Post Rd. in the Home Depot Plaza.
That demolition has been completed. A building permit was subsequently issued Jan. 22 to John Ranous of National Permits for the same location, describing the work on the space as a “remodel of interior of fitness center” with “new finishes, fixtures, partitions, some mechanical, lighting and plumbing updates.”
If Planet Fitness was to move, it would not change members’ commute to the gym much; the current location at 400 Boston Post Rd. is less than half a mile away.
Planet Fitness would not comment on the project.
