📰About Crunch Fitness
The Crunch Fitness Previous Big Lots project at 8666 Spicewood Springs Rd. in Austin's Barrington Oaks neighborhood is a 29,000-square-foot renovation valued at $1,500,000. The building passed its final TDLR accessibility inspection in May 2026, confirming that the physical construction is complete. This former retail space has been converted into a fitness center.
The scope of work, filed under the name Crunch Fitness Austin, involved transforming a retail environment into a dedicated fitness facility. This transition required comprehensive updates to the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems to support the new equipment and layout. Exterior work included repainting the facade and extending the parapets, altering the building's visual profile to match the fitness brand’s standards.
Project Context and Scale
Kent Holding LLC serves as the owner of record for this development in Travis County. The project was designed by JPlus Architects, Inc., a firm with a specific portfolio focus on Crunch Fitness locations across the state. This Austin renovation is one of at least six similar projects registered by the same design firm, including locations in McKinney, Waco, Lakeway, and Rowlett. This pattern suggests a coordinated expansion strategy rather than an isolated single-site renovation.
Financially, the project sits in the top quarter of estimated costs for renovation and alteration filings in Travis County, where the median cost is $299,550. However, the cost efficiency is notable: at $52 per square foot, the project costs less than the county median of $103 per square foot. The scheduled build window of 335 days is significantly longer than the county median of 98 days, reflecting the complexity of converting a large retail footprint.
Construction activity at this address is documented by City of Austin permit records, which list 10 permits issued between October 2025 and April 2026. These include four electrical permits, three building permits, two plumbing permits, and one mechanical permit. Recent permits specifically mention signage for the Crunch Fitness brand and a change of use to Personal Improvement Services, aligning with the filing’s description of the interior renovation.
