Zoom owners Justin and Cara Goodman.

The Avenue will welcome another new-to-Alabama tenant in the coming months.

Crunkleton: Commercial Real Estate announced this morning Zoom Indoor Cycling will open a studio later this summer next to Scout & Molly's at The Avenue, a mixed-use project featuring residential and street-level commercial space along Jefferson Street. The 2,558-square-foot unit will specialize in Zoom's zRide, a 45-minute full body rhythm ride.

Another indoor cycling studio, Cycle City Fitness, operates on Hughes Road in Madison. Sasha Sealy, who is developing The Avenue with her husband Charlie, said spin studios are popular in urban areas.

"We think (Zoom Cycle) will be a great fitness option for The Avenue's residents, as well as everyone in the Rocket City," she said.

Owners Justin and Cara Goodman opened the first Zoom Indoor Cycling in Charlottesville, Va., in April 2016. Cara Goodman, a Huntsville native, wanted to expand the concept to her hometown because downtown is growing so rapidly.

Zoom is currently hiring instructors for the Huntsville studio. Interested applicants can email cara@zoomhsv.com for details.

The Avenue, which will also be home to Church Street Purveyor and Soda Jerk, features a 400-unit parking deck, two galleries for socializing and events, and an indoor/outdoor open air space.

A recent retail market demand study found downtown Huntsville could support an additional 275,000 to 325,000 square feet of new retail over the next five years.
