LHTX Fitness is preparing to open its second studio. According to a permit filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, the prominent group fitness studio brand is expected to open at 12320 Kingsride Ln.
The address is in the Memorial neighborhood, within the Shops at Memorial City shopping center.
The permit for the LHTX Fitness studio details that construction is currently underway and is slated to wrap up by early April 2027. If permitting goes smoothly and the estimated $550,000 construction project stays on track, the new LHTX Fitness studio should open by spring 2027.
At the helm of the opening is co-founder Darren Van Delden, who was listed on the permit. What Now Houston reached out to Van Delden to learn more about the expansion plans. Unfortunately, we did not hear back from Van Delden by the time of this publication.
“LHTX Fitness is a powerhouse of fitness innovation, weaving original classes with cutting-edge fitness technology and moves – from infrared heat to our own custom-designed PowerFormers,” the LHTX Fitness website reads.
“Every class is strategically curated from the moves to the music for maximum impact, whether you’re craving high-intensity intervals or deep, restorative stretches. But it’s not just about the grind; it’s also about our awesome community.”
Former personal trainer and Darren’s wife, Anna Van Delden, founded LHTX Fitness. Originally built around high-intensity, low-impact exercise philosophies, the brand has grown from a specialized boutique studio into a multi-concept fitness and wellness destination. The business launched in 2018 under the name LagreeHTX. The studio focused solely on the Lagree Method, delivering a single, highly challenging workout that combines cardio, core, strength, and flexibility in one session.
As the studio evolved beyond its initial single-method scope, the business rebranded from LagreeHTX to LHTX Fitness to allow room for broader concepts. Van Delden suffered a severe spinal injury in 2023. Her personal recovery and healing journey led her to research diverse class styles and innovative therapies, such as infrared heat, red light, and cryotherapy, that maximize athletic performance without hindering physical recovery.
Building on the insights she gained during recovery, LHTX Fitness relocated to a new, expanded facility in 2024. The studio added infrared heat technology and expanded from its single legacy format into three distinct, proprietary low-impact modalities, including their signature PowerFormer (reformer Pilates) and PowerMat (heated mat workouts).
Today, the studio operates as a comprehensive fitness community catering to everyone from beginners to professional athletes.
“At LHTX Fitness, we’re all in this together, pushing each other to be stronger, healthier, and better,” the brand’s website reads.
“So if you’re ready to elevate your game, join us, and let’s crush those goals.”
