December 2010 - Allgood Fitness

Allgood Fitness Downtown
By Kaitlin Steinberg

Dusty Oliveira aka DJ Dus is known about town for his musical talents, but he’s about to add another title to

his resume: fitness guru. OK, so he probably won’t start wearing neon sweatbands and spandex, but as one

of the owners and creators of AllGood Fitness, he’s about to start mixing up his act.

AllGood Fitness is set to open in late December in the Nueces Lofts building Downtown. Olivera is the

mastermind behind the concept for the new gym, but this is hardly his first turn as an entrepreneur. Along with

a few partners, Olivera also helped create Produce, a recording studio/boutique/gallery space known for its

innovative design work. Now that Produce has become a success, obviously the next step for Olivera is

to…open a gym?

“Why not?” he says. “There is a demand for fitness now in Corpus. You look at Austin and you see people

running and riding bikes everywhere. Trends always go south, so naturally we were the next to hit the fitness

wave.”

AllGood Fitness will cater to the young, urban professional, as well as the other diverse populations moving to

the Downtown area. The gym will have amenities like a dry sauna, towel service, personal training and of

course, a shower, for those who want to get in a quick work out before their 9-to-5 or during their lunch

break.

Classes will start once the gym’s juicebar opens early next year, but in the meantime, Olivera hopes to do

some specialized urban group training classes “to take advantage of the bayfront and our little concrete

jungle.”

AllGood Fitness will offer monthly memberships with specials for students and families, as well as corporate

wellness packages. The gym will also issue day passes during business hours, and members will be able to

bring guests if they choose. Members will be able to work out 24 hours a day.

With a little over a month until it opens, AllGood Fitness is starting to come together nicely. Olivera’s aim is to

create a fresh, relaxed atmosphere, which will no doubt be punctuated by elements of design from the team

behind Produce. Olivera also wants great music in his space, and as a DJ, he should be able to provide some

high-energy tunes to sweat to.

“This is not like any other spot in town,” Olivera promises. “You will be able to come here, get in a quick

work out, get fresh, and get back to work.”
