The Hillsdale Fitness and MMA Center downtown moved from 54 N. Howell St. across the street to 63 N. Howell St. after owner Steven Gossett decided the original location was too large.
The 54 N. Howell St. location was “just a temporary solution,” Gossett said.
“We were looking when we first started for a small building,” Gossett said. “We really didn’t want a huge building to begin with, and the location we were in just seemed a little too big for us.”
The Mixed Martial Arts center is not a normal gym with a weight room, but also hosts self-defense classes and provides a space for MMA fighters to train.
“We were getting our gym confused with an actual workout facility,” Gossett said. “Now when you walk in you see the MMA mats and all the MMA gear. That’s what we wanted to begin with.”
