FIT3, billing itself as “America’s largest fitness, health and wellness superstore” opened its doors in October at the corner of Leesburg Pike and Spring Hill Rd., home to a former Circuit City. The 20,000 square foot store is the first in what the owners hope will become a nationwide chain. FIT3 is part sports specialty retailer and part fitness center.
