The Railway Club has been closed for over two years, and occupies a prime site at the junction of Overton Road and Junction Road.
Gary Paterson, who runs the gym with partner Sally Dewar and son Jack, said he had been blown away by the response to their news.
“We put the post up and were inundated with messages,” he said. “We wanted to open up something new and it’s a positive move coming out of lockdown.”

Hide AdArena Gym Fife has been based at Mitchelston for the past three years, and it is now looking ahead to moving into a revamped site with a two-storey building which will include a play zone for children and a cafe area as well as fitness classes.
“We had looked at the site before and thought it would be a good location - people told us it hadn’t changed in the last 25 years!” added Mr Paterson.
“It became available and we secured it and thought we can develop it.”
“It will be a new building on the site which can only help the area.”
