After nine years Embody Fitness Gourmet has moved out of the juice bar space at Equinox Fitness Club on Heights Road and into its new home right down the street. Embody joins neighbors Pure Barre and [Embody’s new next door neighbor] Heights Pizza, among others, in the Noroton Heights Shopping Center in the space formerly occupied by Franks & Frites at 380 Heights Road. “We are excited to be able to continue EMBODY’s presence in Noroton Heights, and are thrilled to be able to extend our offerings to the broader community,” EMBODY Founder Gillen Bryan said. ____________

Location, location, location:

The Embody Fitness Gourmet juice bar now located at the Equinox fitness club in Noroton Heights plans to move to a new location in a storefront next to Heights Pizza, where it will likely stay until that block’s planned redevelopment takes place, at which time it will move to some other location. The initial reason for moving out of Equinox because “Equinox, as a corporation, is making each of their cafes in their approximately 70 or so clubs throughout the country uniform” Embody founder and CEO Gillan Bryan said at a meeting last Thursday of the Planning & Zoning Commission. Bryan said he received the news about Equinox’s change in plans last November. Bryan’s company has applied for a change in the site permit to allow his business to open up at 6 a.m. The P&Z Commission quickly agreed in a 4-0 unanimous vote. One member noted that a nearby coffee shop is open then, as well (Darien Doughnut opens at 5 a.m. and the shop inside the Noroton Heights Railroad Station building is also open early for morning commuters on weekdays).
