OWEGO, N.Y. — A ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Summit Fitness gym in Owego has been set for Sept. 28, according to a news release from the Tioga County Chamber of Commerce.
Located at 30 Elm St. in Owego, Summit Fitness is owned by the same owner of Peak Performance Physical Therapy and Tioga Fitness, located at 115 Hickories Park Road, also in Owego. All the businesses are owned by Brian Hathaway, a licensed physical therapist and a prolific youth-sports coach in the Owego area, according to a Summit Fitness Facebook post.
Summit Fitness will offer public morning and evening classes in addition to personal training, according to the chamber release. “Classes offered currently are Total Body, Lower Body, Upper Body, Endurance, Kick Boxing, and Boxing.”
The Summit Fitness facility had been Yeaman Athletics under the ownership of Joey Yeaman until Hathaway took over the lease in July 2020, according to a Facebook post by Tioga Fitness, which said that Yeaman had left the area. The ribbon-cutting ceremony at 1 p.m. on Sept. 28 comes almost one year after Summit Fitness reopened in October 2020 under Hathaway’s ownership. A rebrand to Summit Fitness powered by Peak Performance Physical Therapy was announced on Facebook on Aug. 17, ahead of the grand opening.
