Challenge Fitness Out, Amazing Discount In On Avenue X

It was back in November that Sheepshead Bay lost 5-year-old independent gym Challenge Fitness, and now the storefront has been gobbled up by Amazing Discount, a bargain basement store.

Amazing Discount opened at 2209 Avenue X late last month, selling the usual assortment of made-in-wherever housewares, toys, supplies, et cetera. Remains of the Challenge sign can still be seen above their own sign. The space is relatively large, affording the new owners a pretty sizable and diverse stock.

Challenge closed after it lost its lease, and several of the fitness class teachers have relocated to other area gyms.

Best of luck to Amazing Discount!
