LEGACY, the renowned fitness brand by visionary entrepreneur Manning Sumner, has unveiled a major expansion of the brand’s Fort Lauderdale facility. Redefining the fitness landscape in the area, the location’s renovation has nearly doubled it in size to a sprawling 9,200 square-feet offering group classes, open gym space, personal training and a handful of recovery amenities.
Sumner founded LEGACY as “Legacy Fit” in 2008 in Wynwood. Today, the brand has six locations throughout South Florida (Coral Gables, Doral, Kendall, Pembroke Pines, Fort Lauderdale and Wynwood), with new Little River headquarters slated to open fall 2024 followed by a location in Nashville in 2025. At the core of the LEGACY experience is Sumner’s proprietary Partner Interval Training (PIT) system, a groundbreaking approach that integrates HIIT and resistance training to optimize performance and metabolic efficiency.
Along with LEGACY, Sumner is also the CEO and founder of No Days Off, a lifestyle brand which includes apparel and NDO H2O, an ultra-premium water brand. Launched in 2023, NDO H2O has quickly established itself and is now the official premium water of the Miami HEAT and Kaseya Center.
The decision to renovate Fort Lauderdale stemmed from the resounding success of the Wynwood Headquarters opening in 2022; and while the brand continues to expand, its fundamental values remain unchanged: offering an experience-driven, community-oriented space where members feel motivated, supported, and accountable. Gigi Giusti, Sumner’s business partner at LEGACY’s Fort Lauderdale location, played an important role in fostering a strong community of members, ultimately paving the way for the expansion to become a reality. Giusti continues to work alongside Sumner in day to day operations.
While the look and feel is now more elevated, the facility’s transformation isn’t just cosmetic; it is a reimagination of what a fitness center can be. From gym offerings to spa facilities, cold plunges, sauna, physical therapy room, and a smoothie bar & lounge, LEGACY’s revamped Fort Lauderdale location is more than just a gym—it’s a lifestyle destination.
