Excess space leads to new gym in Pearl River

March

What do you do with extra office space? Turn it into a gym. At least that’s what the principals of U.S. Information Systems Inc. have done.

Having moved the 20-year-old communications company to larger offices in Pearl River from Nyack last year, the Lagana family was unsure what to do with extra space they had at the 92,000-square-foot building on West Jefferson Avenue.

Co-owner and business manager Robert Lagana had the idea to open a gym, and Vision Fitness was born.

The 32,000-square-foot club features 200 cardio and stength machines, weight machines, free weights and stretching apparatuses.

In addition, the gym also has a five-lane sprinting track, an artificial turf field, group exercise rooms and classes and a large screen cinema that allows customers to watch movies while working out on treadmills, cycles and elipitical machines.

Vision Fitness also boasts a Youth Fit Zone with equipment geared to children 8 to 15 years old, such as cycle machines with video games and Dance Dance Revolution, a popular youth fitness game.

To learn more about the gym, go to www.visionfitnessny.com.
