The short version for anyone searching "club studio westlake village": a roughly 35,000 square foot, round the clock gym is planned for the empty Bed Bath and Beyond box on S. Westlake Boulevard, under a Thousand Oaks special use permit that was noticed for a public hearing on February 23, 2026. Here is what the city file and the company have published, what is still open, and why the address itself tells you something useful about buying a home here.
Where exactly is Club Studio Westlake Village, and is it really in Westlake Village?
The club's own listing says it plainly: "Thousand Oaks , S Westlake Blvd (Coming Soon), 121 S. Westlake Boulevard, Thousand Oaks, CA 91362." The same building shows up in some directories as Westlake Village and in others as Thousand Oaks, which confuses newcomers and even a few longtime residents.
The rule of thumb is simple. A "Westlake Village, CA 91362" address is generally inside the City of Thousand Oaks and Ventura County; "Westlake Village, CA 91361" is generally the City of Westlake Village and Los Angeles County. That split affects which city hall processes a permit, which county assessor sends your property tax bill (Ventura County on the 91362 side, Los Angeles County on the 91361 side), and which services you pay for. I cover the whole picture in my guide to how Westlake Village straddles two counties, and the practical differences in my broker's comparison of Westlake Village and Thousand Oaks.
What is the City of Thousand Oaks reviewing for the former Bed Bath and Beyond?
The spine of this story is Special Use Permit 2025-70016, described by the city as a request "to allow for an approximately 35,000 square-foot fitness club (Club Studio) to open and operate 24-hours daily within an existing retail space (former Bed Bath & Beyond) at an existing 10.63-acre shopping center in the Highway and Arterial Business (C-2) zone." The public hearing was noticed for Monday, February 23, 2026, at 6:00 pm in the Scherr Forum at Thousand Oaks City Hall, 2100 Thousand Oaks Boulevard.
Two details from the file are worth knowing. First, the tenant name changed. The city's August 2025 Development Activity Report listed the same case as a 34,004 square foot "LA Fitness," with MMA Architecture as applicant and Nicole Katz as case planner; by the February 2026 notice it read Club Studio at roughly 35,000 square feet. Same parent company, different brand. Second, the permit exists because of the hours. Operating 24 hours a day in the C-2 zone requires discretionary approval, so any conditions on hours, parking, lighting and noise attach to this SUP.

What the file does not yet tell the public, and what I will update when confirmed: the outcome of that hearing, its conditions of approval, and whether building permits have issued.

What will be inside the new Club Studio?
Club Studio is a brand of Fitness International LLC of Irvine, the company behind LA Fitness and City Sports Club, with nearly 700 clubs across the U.S. and Canada. The brand was founded in 2022 and its first club opened at the Oak Creek Shopping Center in Irvine in roughly 40,000 square feet, with cryotherapy and a recovery lab. As of late 2025 the chain had opened its 15th location and set a goal of 50 locations within 12 months.
The concept combines a traditional gym with five boutique studios and a signature cardio and strength studio called CS4. Published amenities include a large cardio deck, an indoor lap pool and a functional training turf area with battle ropes and suspension trainers. A representative open club in Walnut Creek lists free weights, locker rooms, cryotherapy, a recovery room, red light therapy, sauna, towel service, personal training and a Beaming Cafe juice bar.
One honest caveat: amenity mix varies by club, and the Thousand Oaks box is about 5,000 square feet smaller than the Irvine flagship. Whether the lap pool and full recovery suite make it into this location has not been published.
How does Club Studio compare with Equinox and other gyms near Westlake Village?
Trade press positions Club Studio as a direct competitor to Equinox on amenities and comfort, and Equinox Westlake Village sits roughly two miles away with personal training, Studio Pilates and a spa. The obvious gap is hours. Equinox runs 5:00 am to 10:00 pm Monday through Thursday, 5:00 am to 8:00 pm Friday and 7:00 am to 7:00 pm on weekends. Club Studio's entire permit is built around 24 hours a day.

The rest of the field is deep. 24 Hour Fitness Thousand Oaks Sport offers an outdoor lap pool, whirlpool, steam room, sauna and a regulation size basketball court. EōS Fitness, LA Fitness, Planet Fitness, Fitness 19, CorePower Yoga, Club Pilates, F45, Orangetheory and the YMCA all operate in the Westlake Village and Thousand Oaks market. Club Studio is betting that one membership covering boutique classes, recovery services and a full gym, open at any hour, pulls from several of those at once. Fitness options are one reason I argue Westlake Village is one of the best places to live in Southern California, and this adds to the list.
What does a 24 hour gym mean for nearby homeowners?
This is a retail to fitness backfill of a dead anchor box, the dominant adaptive reuse play in suburban Los Angeles and Ventura County centers right now. The brand did the same thing in Irvine, filing to put an approximately 18,300 square foot Club Studio into a shuttered CVS at Orchard Hills. The pattern is deliberate: affluent suburbs, vacant big boxes, long term tenants that generate daily foot traffic.
For homeowners near the site, a 35,000 square foot daily traffic generator replacing a vacant anchor on a 10.63 acre center is a vitality story. The tradeoffs are exactly what a 24 hour special use permit is designed to manage: overnight lighting, parking and noise. If you live within earshot of the center, the conditions of approval on SUP 2025-70016 are the document to read, not the marketing page. If you are shopping for a home nearby, this is the kind of detail I walk through in my honest take for Westlake Village buyers in 2026.
Frequently Asked Questions About Club Studio Westlake Village
When does Club Studio Westlake Village open?
No opening date has been published. As of October 2026 the company lists the club as "Coming Soon" with no local phone number, which on Club Studio's site generally means presale pricing has not launched yet. Presale clubs are tagged separately and list a phone line.
How much will a Club Studio membership cost in Thousand Oaks?
Local pricing has not been released. When the brand launched in Irvine, membership was reported at $189 per month per person, with a VIP list for pre opening access. Treat that as a reference point from another market, not a quote for this club.
Is this the LA Fitness that was planned for the Bed Bath and Beyond space?
The city's August 2025 report listed the project as a 34,004 square foot LA Fitness under the same case number, SUP 2025-70016. By the February 2026 hearing notice it was described as an approximately 35,000 square foot Club Studio. Both brands belong to Fitness International LLC.
Why does the gym say Thousand Oaks if the address is Westlake Village?
Because 121 S. Westlake Boulevard, ZIP 91362, is inside the City of Thousand Oaks in Ventura County. The 91362 ZIP carries the Westlake Village name in many directories, but the City of Westlake Village, in Los Angeles County, is generally ZIP 91361. The permit, the hearing and the conditions all run through Thousand Oaks Community Development.
