'The Zone' is open for business in downtown Watseka. The 24-hour fitness center calls home in the former Napa Auto Parts building on Walnut Street. And the Watseka Area Chamber of Commerce welcomed owner Dan Gordon and staff with a grand opening ribbon-cutting ceremony.

'The Zone' is a 24 hour fitness center offering the latest cardio equipment, circuit training, free weights, personal trainers, and fitness on-demand classes.

Gordon says 'The Zone' is not just a typical workout location..."we're in smaller communities, we have equipment not found in a small town gym and we're open 24-hours." Members can work out on their own time around the clock. Staff members are available 8a -7p Monday thru Friday and 9a –Noon Saturday.

Members earn a key-card and visit whenever around the clock.

Gordon owns four 'The Zone' locations in Illinois.
