Health & wellness
BY ANDREW CREELMAN
Blake Murdoch said he’s traveled to countless gyms across the country, most of them o ering at least one thing unique and useful—but none of them had everything he wanted. That’s why Murdoch decided to open MURFIT Fitness Club in Boerne, a growing local gym focused on nurturing all athletes of all skill levels. What’s special about it? After rst opening in May 2024, both Blake and Sage Murdoch created a set of values for the gym to run by. “We have four pillars that we focus on—men- tal, spiritual, emotional and physical,” Murdoch said. “These are crucial aspects that can help anyone reach their tness goals.” Rather than speci cally targeting clientele like bodybuilders or CrossFit trainers, Murdoch said he wanted to take his 16 years of personal train- ing experience and create a place that anyone could enjoy. “Everyone can t in here, no matter the age, sport, or skill level,” Murdoch said. Dig deeper After a few recent renovation projects that doubled the size of the gym, the now 11,000-square-foot tness center contains an open space layout lled with state-of-the-art lifting equipment, machines, free weights, and more, according to Murdoch. “We saw a lot of good pieces from other gyms and brought them all together here at MURFIT,” Murdoch said. The local impact Overall, Murdoch said it’s not the equipment, expansion, or amenities at the gym that make it a rewarding place to be—it’s the people, trainers and other members. “Equipment doesn’t change lives, it’s the coaches, people and service here that will,” Mur- doch said. “Whether you have loads of tness experience or are coming here for the rst time, we want MURFIT to be a place where you can improve not just your tness, but your life.” Murdoch said committing to tness goals is a “lifelong investment,” making MURFIT’s services undeniably useful.
