Explore Preston Forest's New Fitness Studios and Restaurants

October 1, 2026
Between April 2025 and August 2026, five fitness studios and a men's grooming shop opened at Preston Road and Forest Lane. They're spread across Preston Forest Village, Preston Forest Square and the Market at Preston Forest. None of them is a big-box gym. Every one sells a short class or a booked session, and most sit a few doors from a place to eat. For Melshire Estates households and their neighbors in Preston Hollow, the corner used for groceries and dry cleaning now works as a shared gym, with breakfast, lunch and dinner built in.
This guide covers what opened, what each studio does, and how people are fitting them into a normal week.
The openings happened one at a time, so the change was easy to miss. In order:
Two of these openings came close together in November 2025. The two most recent are the yoga studio and the golf simulator, which appeal to very different people, and both opened in the past few weeks. Local coverage hasn't turned up a center-wide redevelopment plan behind any of this.
The studios don't overlap much. Each one sells a different kind of workout, which is why they can sit this close together.
| Studio | Address | What a session looks like |
|---|---|---|
| Club Burn | 11909 Preston Rd, Suite 1486 | 30 minutes of infrared and vacuum cardio on treadmills, bikes or stair machines, plus infrared sauna and small-group training |
| BODYROK | 11700 Preston Rd, Suite 632 | 45-minute high-intensity, low-impact reformer Pilates |
| BODYBAR Pilates | 11661 Preston Rd, Suite 302 | Reformer, Tower and Chair classes, from athletic Jumpboard sessions to stretching-focused Reset |
| CorePower Yoga | 11920 Preston Rd, Suite 140 | Heated classes including Yoga Sculpt, Hot Power Fusion and CoreRestore |
| Back Nine Golf | 11909 Preston Rd, Suite 1482 | Full Swing simulator bays for tee times, practice, leagues and clinics |
There are two Pilates studios, and they work differently. BODYROK sticks to one fast, 45-minute reformer format with class names like Sculpt & Jump and Six Packs & Backs. BODYBAR spreads across several pieces of equipment and intensities, so a classic Reformer class one day and a Tower and Chair stretch the next both happen in the same room. Someone who wants the same hard workout every time and someone who wants variety can both find a studio here.
Club Burn has the shortest session in the group at 30 minutes. It pairs that cardio with infrared sauna and body rolling, and it offers personal and small-group training. CorePower's heated rooms come with showers, hair dryers and lockers. That matters if you want to finish a class and go straight to work without stopping at home.
Back Nine is the one that pulls in a different crowd. The 4,009-square-foot space runs Full Swing simulators and sells public tee times alongside memberships, leagues, camps and private events. For the week of September 22, the online booking page listed both public and members-only bay times, and some of the public slots were already full.
The studios matter more together than one at a time. The Pilates and cardio sessions run 45 minutes at BODYROK and 30 at Club Burn, and every studio is a few doors from something else a household already needed from this intersection. A 45-minute class plus a stop at Tom Thumb is one trip. A 30-minute session and a coffee still leaves most of a lunch hour.
A few of the addresses make this concrete:
This is why the shopping centers feel different in the morning now. Before, people stopped here to run an errand and left. Now many stay for a class and a meal.
Here's how the pieces fit into an ordinary week, using what each business says it offers.
Weekday morning. Take a CorePower class, shower on site, then walk down to K&L Bagels. Owners Kyriakos and Lisa Kouzoukas opened the Preston/Forest shop in February 2025 after months of renovating a former tailor shop. It's their third area location, after The Colony and Richardson. The Advocate describes how Kyriakos rolls the dough by hand, proofs it for up to 24 hours, and kettle-boils each bagel. The boiling is why the seeds cover the whole bagel, not just the top.
Midday. A 30-minute Club Burn session fits into a lunch break. Afterward, Snarf's Sandwiches is now open at 11810 Preston Road, Suite 120, next to Fat Straws Boba, and serves from 10 a.m. on weekdays.
Monday evening. Take a BODYROK class, then go to Pizzana for trivia night, which starts at 7:30 p.m. The restaurant opened November 3, 2025, as the chain's eighth location. The Preston Hollow Advocate's August profile names the Cacio e Pepe pizza, at $26, as the most popular item on the menu.
Weekend. Book a Back Nine bay for a group or out-of-town guests on a hot afternoon, when the course outside is hard to face. For the other half of the household, BODYBAR runs classes seven days a week.
Grooming. Hammer & Nails at 6060 Forest Lane covers haircuts and grooming in the same trip.
CorePower's Founding All Access Membership offered 25 percent off every month through September 25.
The next change is probably at the small building on the northeast corner of Preston and Forest. The 4,840-square-foot retail building at 11810 Preston Road, where Snarf's and Fat Straws Boba now sit, sold in 2025. The new ownership said it planned to refresh the spaces with "elevated concepts" and expected ongoing tenant and property improvements. No specific new tenants have been announced beyond what's already open. Given the past 16 months, though, you can expect more short-format businesses along this stretch of Preston Road.
For now, residents of Melshire Estates and nearby streets have five studios, a golf simulator among them, within one intersection they already visit every week. The bagel shop, the sandwich counter and the pizza place fill in around the classes.
When we talk with clients about a neighborhood, we ask about ordinary weeks, too: where the morning workout happens, how long the grocery run takes, where you'd bring friends on a Monday night. Those small routines shape how a home feels to live in.
