Edge Fitness Clubs reopens St. Peters site, adds InfraRED Yoga classes

Edge Fitness Clubs is bringing its St. Peters club back online on May 6 after major upgrades, and the headline feature for yoga members is Edge InfraRED Yoga, a class format the company is using to sell recovery as much as sweat. The club sits at 4025 Veterans Memorial Parkway in St. Peters, Missouri, and the reopening comes as Edge pushes a broader hybrid model that blends big-gym strength equipment with boutique-style classes.

The St. Peters location is being positioned as one of the first local showcases for that strategy. Edge says it now operates 43 locations in 9 states and serves more than 350,000 members, and the refreshed club will include the company’s premium equipment mix alongside Edge InfraRED Yoga, Edge Core Pilates reformer sessions, and Edge Lift strength classes. For yoga practitioners, the pitch is less about a classic studio-only experience and more about folding mobility, recovery, and training into one membership.

That is where the consumer question starts. Infrared yoga is not the same thing as a standard heated class, at least in how the company is selling it. Edge describes the format as mindful recovery work that combines the restorative side of yoga with infrared heat therapy. In practical terms, that makes it sound like a warmer, more recovery-oriented setting than a conventional heated studio, but it also places the class squarely inside a larger club package rather than as a pure yoga offering. Members will have to decide whether that difference matters enough to justify the premium feel.

The company has been building toward this for months. Edge launched its first Infrared Yoga Studio in Fairfield, Connecticut, in early November 2025, calling it the first phase of a broader multi-state amenity expansion. The rollout also tied in Edge Core Pilates reformer sessions, Edge Lift semi-private strength training, Finish Recovery spaces, and Edge StrongR, signaling that yoga is now being marketed as part of a connected recovery-and-performance ecosystem across the brand.

St. Peters also fits a longer company story. Vinny Sansone opened his first gym, The Fitness Connection, in Middletown, Connecticut, on August 20, 1988, and the business later rebranded as Gold’s Gym before pioneering multi-club membership clustering. With Travis Blalock now serving as general manager in St. Peters, Edge is leaning on that legacy while trying to keep the formula current: more equipment, more class variety, and more reasons for members to stay inside one system for strength work, yoga, and recovery. Whether InfraRED Yoga is the standout or just the latest amenity, the reopening shows exactly how crowded the club market has become.
