A new gym is opening in North Myrtle Beach. Here’s where it will be located
Fitness lovers in the Myrtle Beach area will soon have a new location to train and workout.
Maine-based Miller Fitness will open its first Grand Strand location in North Myrtle Beach at 3302 Highway 17 South in the North Village Center, formerly a Gold’s Gym. According to the gym’s Facebook page, Nov. 16, 2024, is the grand opening.
The gym will have cardio equipment, free weights, a designated deadlifting area, and other amenities. It will also be open 24/7 for gym members who sign up. The gym website states that members can pay a monthly fee of $45 in three-month, six-month or one-year installments.
Curtis Miller owns Miller Fitness. He said his family has vacationed in the area for years and, in May, decided to start exploring opening a gym along the Grand Strand.
“(I) got a little bored and started reaching some realtors and kind of told them what I was looking for,” Miller said in a phone interview Nov. 14, 2024.
Miller said the gym is a barbell and weight-lifting-focused space that eschews industry trends like tanning and sauna spaces.
Miller said the gym will be for everybody and focused on cleanliness. Interested members can sign up at the grand opening, and Miller added that all gym employees will be certified personal trainers who can help people with their workouts.
He also said that members will be allowed to bring tripods for filming and taking photos of themselves in the gym, but the facility will keep camera use from getting out of control.
“And if there are any complaints, we just take care of it. We’re pretty much no-nonsense,” Miller said. “If we get a complaint about you, you’re going to get talked to. You’re going to get one chance.
It is one of several gyms opening in the Myrtle Beach area. Planet Fitness opened a Little River location in September 2024 with a spa and red light treatments. The national chain Crunch will also open a new location at the Coastal Grand Mall in November 2024.
