Crawford Hoying Welcomes Body Alive Fitness to The Lane in Upper Arlington

Upper Arlington, Ohio - Crawford Hoying, the owner and manager of The Lane and Westmont at the Lane developments, is excited to announce the newest addition to the Upper Arlington neighborhood - Body Alive, a high‑energy fitness studio specializing in heated classes. This marks Body Alive’s second studio in Central Ohio, with their most recent location opening at Polaris in Westerville.

Located at 1600 West Lane Avenue, across the street from Whole Foods Market and Athleta, Body Alive will cover more than 3,500 SF within The Lane development and offer hot Pilates classes for guests to experience. Body Alive aims to bring powerful movement, energizing music and a strong sense of community together to create a one-of-a-kind experience for every class taken.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Body Alive to Lane Avenue,” said Zachary Graham, Senior Vice President of Commercial Real Estate and Leasing at Crawford Hoying. “The addition of a best-in-class fitness offering is a wonderful amenity for our residents and the broader Upper Arlington community.” 

Body Alive offers multiple membership options, including a high school student membership, business membership, special pricing for non-profit, military and healthcare employees, weekly memberships and more. Those that join the Upper Arlington location before it opens will receive a Founders Membership option that includes unlimited classes each month for a static price of $109. 

"I wanted to bring Body Alive to Columbus because it is more than a studio — it’s a space where you can show up exactly as you are and immediately feel part of something bigger,” said Elley Sanfillipo, owner of Body Alive. “At our core, we aim to empower everyone who walks through our doors. When we feel good, we do good — and that starts in the hot room. Body Alive is a community, a place where we all belong."

Body Alive is currently under construction and is anticipated to open during winter 2025. 

The Lane is a mixed-use development in Upper Arlington, which includes 109-key Hilton Hotel, 108 luxury apartments, retail and office space anchored by Hudson 29 (a Cameron Mitchell Restaurant), and a public/private parking garage.
