Personal trainer Rob English plans to open new athletic facility on Powder Mill Road.
English said he hopes to open the doors to the business, S.P.D. Factory, some time between mid May and early June.
The business would occupy about 2,400 square feet of the 20,000 square foot building at 146 Powder Mill Road, building owner Stephen Sack told the town’s Zoning Commission last week. Under the town’s current zoning regulations, the business needed a special exception permit, which was granted by the commission.
English said the facility would not be a high-volume gym with a mass of equipment but rather offer individualized and small-group strength and conditioning programs.
“Whatever you need, that’s what I program,” he said.
From 2004 to 2009, English said he served in the U.S. Marine Corps and was a black belt martial arts instructor and combat conditioning specialist.
He was also formerly associated with Tyler English Fitness in Canton.
