  HUDSON – The former TJ Maxx property at the RK Hudson Town Center Plaza will not be vacant for long, as Boost Fitness will move its Main Street gym to the Washington Street shopping center this fall.

  Just last week, TJ Maxx closed its store in the RK Hudson Town Center Plaza and relocated to a new building at the Highland Commons shopping center on Rte. 62. Boost Fitness recently agreed to move from its Main Street location to the former TJ Maxx property at the plaza, said Kenneth Fries, of RK Centers.

  "We consider TJX to be a valuable partner," said Fries. "We have them in a number of centers. They gave us sufficient time to find a backup tenant."

  With a continually rising membership, Boost Fitness has been outgrowing its 312 Main St. location for the past few years. The gym has more than 20,000 members at its locations in Hudson, Northborough, Worcester, Auburn, Oxford and Westford, said owner Mark Federico.

  "We just have grown out of the current location we’re at," said Federico. "We just needed a larger space with the number of members we have."

  Federico was considering leasing more space at the Main Street location, but said the current facility lacks the necessary parking needed for the rising membership.

  "Our biggest issue was a lack of parking," said Federico.

  That will not be a problem at the fitness center’s new location; Federico said there is ample parking and the former TJ Maxx building will have plenty of space for the gym’s operations.

  "It had the square footage we were looking for," he said.

  The TJX Companies are expected to turn the property over to Boost Fitness sometime in June. Federico anticipates the gym will move into its new home in September or October.

  Fries is excited that the former TJ Maxx will only be empty for a few months during the transition.

  "We are extremely pleased to have Mark (Federico) join our shopping center," he said.
