WIREUNWIRED BRIEF

Actor and entrepreneur Mark Wahlberg plans to open the first Municipal Gym in December outside Las Vegas. He positions the 32,000-square-foot facility as an affordable alternative to high-end longevity clubs that charge tens of thousands of dollars annually. The club will feature blood work, epigenetic testing, recovery gear, compression therapy, cold plunges, and a café.

Wahlberg stated that a $99 membership tier will include three rounds of blood work and an hour with a doctor to discuss predispositions, alongside access to supplements and hormone therapy. The venue builds on his Municipal clothing brand launched during the COVID-19 pandemic. Wahlberg noted that landlords have offered favorable terms and tenant-improvement allowances for the rollout, though he did not specify a total number of planned locations.

The project follows his past involvement with the F45 fitness chain, which went public in 2021 and was delisted in 2023 following a stock collapse. Wahlberg said his main takeaway from that venture was partnering with people who share his approach.
