A developer is adding some punch to its lineup at the rehabbed produce terminal in the Strip District.

Mayweather Boxing + Fitness, developed by profession­al boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, will open this summer in a 2,500-squarefoot space at the western end of the Strip landmark on Smallman Street.

The group boxing and fitness concept features methods developed during Mr. Mayweather’s undefeated 21-year career. The fitness studio will offer 45- to 60minute classes that include boxing, weightlift­ing, and body-weight exercises.

Rosalindo “Rosie” Morales, a profession­al boxer and five-time Western Pennsylvan­ia Golden Gloves champion, will lead classes. His wife, Hanna Morales, a former competitiv­e dancer and gymnast, will handle studio operations.

Pittsburgh-based Satellite Investment­s will hold the produce terminal franchise.

Mayweather Boxing + Fitness, with more than 57 locations open or under developmen­t nationwide, is the latest tenant to be signed by Chicago-based McCaffery Interests to locate in the 1,533-foot-long terminal, a onetime hub for fruit and vegetable wholesaler­s.

It joins another recently signed fitness-related business, Irvine, Calif.-based StretchLab, with programs designed to increase flexibilit­y, range of motion and energy. It is taking 1,619 square feet of space in the building and is scheduled to open this spring.

Other produce terminal tenants include a Fine Wine & Good Spirits store, City Grow, OnPar Now, Envy Nail Spa, Pip & Lola’s Soaps & Sundries, Walk Run Lift Studio, Aslin Beer Company, PrimoHoagi­es, Posman Books, and Puttshack.
