Peekskill’s Anytime Fitness Opens in Downtown
As the new year commences, Peekskill’s newest gym, Anytime Fitness, is opening its doors with a limited time promotional offer. Located at 1101 Main Street in the Crossroads Shopping Center, Anytime Fitness is preparing the community to take on the new year with a healthy body and a strong heart.
Anytime Fitness marked their grand opening with refreshments including fresh fruit, sandwiches, protein bars, juice, water and hot coffee.
A celebratory ribbon cutting took place on January 3, 2026 and was attended by Westchetser County Executive Ken Jenskins, Peekskill Mayor Vivian McKenzie, the entire Peekskill City Council, Peekskill B.I.D. Executive Director Bill Powers and Hudson Valley Gateway Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Catole Voisey. BID and Chamber board members also attended.
The gym offers 24/7 member access with staffed office hours from 8 AM to 8 PM, and trainers promote a process built around individual needs, goal-setting and customized programs.
“It’s very nice. They have a lot of equipment, I definitely see a good future with this gym,” William Ortiz, a customer who was granted a one-day pass said, “After today, I’ll sign up for a subscription.”
From benches to squat racks, free weights and Smith machines, the gym has all you could need to sculpt your body, your way.
But, if you need any help, AnytimeFitness is happy to introduce you to one of their three personal trainers; Angel Gudiño, Mabe Moscoso and Marcelo Luna.
“We start with a body assessment, then we ask some questions and design a program that fits your goals,” Gudiño said.
All of the trainers have been with the gym since its inception (soft launch was held late last year) and offer their training expertise on a daily basis. Moscoso started off by working out in her home gym before earning her certification to become a personal trainer. She now works six days a week.
“It’s amazing being a personal trainer, I love it,” Moscoso said.
The gym currently offers cardio HIIT classes Tuesdays and Fridays (7–8 p.m.) and weightlifting classes Mondays (7–8 p.m.) and Saturdays (12–1 p.m.). There are plans to implement Wednesday and Thursday classes as well.
The owners and their staff emphasize a relationship-driven model, aiming to know members by name, keep people accountable, and help them achieve measurable results.
“My uncle is a big factor in this. My father is a big factor in this and our staff and my cousin as well. It’s a true family business and I can never say it’s a one man show,” 25-year-old co-owner, Wilson Narvaez, Jr. said. Wilson also serves on the Peekskill BID Board of Directors.
Wilson is co-owner with his uncle, Ivan Patricio Narvaez. “It’s exciting being in the business. I love it and I enjoy it too,” Ivan said.
Ivan mentioned how he’s an avid gym-goer, he’s working out almost everyday—specifically with calisthenics, which is how he has lost more than 15lbs.
AnytimeFitness is equipped for multiple forms of training. Offering a large turf area with a bridge and bars to climb across, rings for acrobatics, pull up bars, dip bars and more.
Peekskill Mayor Vivian McKenzie commented about the city’s growing business landscape and community development initiatives, specifically citing the benefits of this new gym to give residents access to healthier options.
“I think that it’s in a perfect location, especially for people who don’t have transportation, to have an opportunity to get physically fit and really support a local business,” Mayor McKenzie said.
“There is so much development happening on this side of the BID” said Peekskill BID Executive Director Bill Powers. “Mid-Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union, the Peekskill Diner, Park Plaza and now, Anytime Fitness,” added Powers.
The Narvaez family began their ventures in Peekskill with the La Placita market at 1049 Park Street, just around the corner, but it has always been a dream of Ivan’s to run a gym. “Words” he said, “cannot describe” his excitement. While both Ivan and Wilson are still involved with the supermarket business they are focusing here on the gym.
The staff is available to provide answers to any questions and discuss training options. Gym-goers can also visit or call the office to make inquiries or to discuss personal training.
According to the staff, personal training packages start at $250 for 4 sessions with one complimentary session, access to the sauna room, and a nutrition packet included in the first purchase.
The staff has said that the gym has been busy, especially since the New Year, with increased sign-ups and pricing inquiries. Pairing the new year and their grand opening, the gym is running an enrollment deal of $1 (normally $100) for the entire month of January. Enrollment covers the first two weeks, after that there will be a bi-weekly charge of $25.
Anytime Fitness membership includes access to 5,000+ Anytime Fitness clubs worldwide, including USA, Europe, Mexico, and expansion into South America. There are multiple payment plans: one-year at $25 bi-weekly, six-month, and month-to-month options.
“I don’t want this to be a gym where you sign up and never show up. We want people to come in here, we want you to get to know us. I want my staff to get to know everyone that walks in the doors,” Wilson said.
You can reach the gym online at AnytimeFitness.com, Instagram @anytimefitness_peekskill, or call (914) 293-5511.
