ALBANY — State workers and elected officials who need to burn calories on something other than stairs will be able to sweat at a new Retro Fitness gym slated to open in the Empire State Plaza concourse next month.

The state Office of General Services said that starting Wednesday, representatives from the national fitness chain will be on the concourse from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day providing information about the gym and selling memberships, including discounted introductory memberships for state employees that will be available during the weeks leading up to the gym's opening.
