Potomac, Maryland, May 2, 2011. . . Vanguard Realty Group today announced a lease for Sport & Health Clubs; a 42,000 square foot facility to be constructed at Market Square at Frederick.

The Market Square deal marks the 27th location for Sport & Health, the largest health and fitness operator in the Washington DC area.  Greg Klein of Vanguard Realty Group, Sport & Health's exclusive real estate representative, notes that "For quite some time Sport & Health has recognized North Frederick as a great market and a logical extension of their presence along the I-270 Corridor.  Market Square represents a perfect match for the high-quality health club experience Sport & Health provides."

Sport & Health Clubs and Vanguard Realty Group announced a new lease in December 2010, for a 42,000 square foot facility at Stonebridge at Potomac Town Center, and in January of this year, for a 46,500 square foot facility at Heritage Hunt in Gainesville, VA.   Sport & Health continues to look for new locations, all in the Greater Washington DC area.   Sport & Health President and COO Mark Fisher adds "The Frederick market is an amazing area with a healthy, active lifestyle and a strong sense of community. This new facility will be beautiful, bearing Sport & Health's signature amenities, including state-of-the-art fitness, the latest in group exercise classes, an indoor swimming pool, basketball court, Kidz Klub and more.  It's a perfect match to our South Frederick location on Buckeystown Pike, enabling us to serve the North and South Frederick communities and extend our presence along the I-270 Corridor."
