Workout Anytime has a new owner. 

“Decatur residents Hubert Kang and Hemanth Grandhige met through mutual friends and frequently exercised together at the Workout Anytime on Lavista Road,” a spokesperson for the company announced. “After developing a friendship with the previous owner and witnessing how successful that Workout Anytime was, the two discussed opening up another location in the area. However, the stars aligned and Hubert and Hemanth received word that the owner of the Decatur location was ready to retire, offering the perfect opportunity to take over ownership. With Hubert’s extensive background in business and marketing, with stints at Saatchi & Saatchi and Microsoft, and Hemanth’s experience as the owner at HAVN Real Estate, the two were the perfect combination to successfully take over as owners of Workout Anytime.”
