Start Strong: Fitness & Wellness on Third Avenue
No matter if you set resolutions or not, there is no better time to build healthy habits than the present. Along Third Avenue, there is no shortage of businesses ready to help you meet your goals. For a classic strength and conditioning workout, visit TG The Gym Chula Vista or 236 Fit, both known for motivating atmospheres and supportive coaches.

Step into the New Year looking and feeling your best with pampering treatments. Stop by salons like Honeylight Salon, Salon Escape, or Shear Envy Salon & Spa for a fresh cut and style.

No matter what service you need, there’s a place on Third Avenue that will leave you feeling special!
New Additions to the Neighborhood
Downtown Chula Vista continues to grow, and several new businesses are adding even more life to the avenue! ALTR Athletic Club opened in late October and has been bringing high-energy cycling classes to Third Avenue. Known for its high tempo and choreography-driven workouts, it’s quickly becoming a go-to spot for a well-rounded fitness boost. And if you’re looking to elevate your gym style while you’re at it, swing by Luvafitt before or after class – this athletic apparel boutique has everything you need to look and feel your best for any type of training.
Looking for a new spot for dinner? Try La Pesca Cevicheria Baja, a new fresh fish spot serving up authentic ceviche. Regarded for their use of traditional recipes, they have something for everyone that is sure to impress. Another eatery joining the neighborhood soon is Suzette, a French restaurant planning to open for all-day service, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
