H1: Crunch Fitness to Replace Former Kowalski’s in Eagan, Marking Minnesota Debut
H2: A Major Transformation for a Familiar Eagan Spot
Eagan residents, get ready — the old Kowalski’s Market on Diffley Road is about to look very different. The long-vacant 40,000-square-foot grocery store will soon become a brand-new Crunch Fitness gym. The franchise operator, The Undefeated Tribe, based in Austin, Texas, is bringing the brand to Minnesota for the first time with plans to buy the property for around $4 million.
H2: What to Expect at Crunch Fitness Eagan
The new Crunch Fitness will offer a full suite of amenities: 24/7 access, state-of-the-art strength and cardio equipment, HydroMassage, red light therapy, tanning, saunas, and a variety of group classes like Zumba. Memberships start at $9.99 per month, making it one of the most affordable gym options in the Twin Cities.
H2: Big Expansion Plans Across the Twin Cities
This Eagan location is just the beginning. The Undefeated Tribe operates 33 Crunch Fitness gyms across Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Missouri, with nearly 50 more in development. The group expects to open three to six new locations in the Twin Cities by the end of 2026, and they believe the market can support up to 12.
H2: What It Means for the Community
Replacing a shuttered grocery store with a new fitness destination brings new life — and new traffic — to a once-quiet corner of Eagan. The move also reinforces the city’s growing appeal for national brands and community-focused development.
