Duddy Performance, a woman-owned small-group and personal training gym, has relocated to a larger facility at 33 Union Avenue to accommodate rapid growth across all age groups. Founded by Liza Duddy in 2021, the business moves to its new home after spending nearly three years at 215 Boston Post Road.
Initially focused on personal training for youth and teen athletes, the gym introduced small group training two years ago, expanding its offerings to adults of all ages and abilities. This new programming quickly boosted membership, prompting an initial expansion at its Boston Post Road location that eventually grew to occupy two levels. Continued demand ultimately necessitated the relocation to an open facility on Union Avenue, where a team of eight certified coaches will continue to serve a growing community of customers.
“I’m so excited that we need to move,” said Liza Duddy, founder and owner of Duddy Performance. “The growth we’ve seen and the support from Sudbury residents and neighboring communities have been incredible. Helping people every day is why we do this, and I’m proud of the amazing team we’ve built. We work with more than 200 people and, in our new space, I’m so happy we can extend our reach.”
The new facility will allow the business to expand its youth athlete training programs as well as adult small group classes. Classes at the new location are scheduled to begin on March 30. Duddy Performance currently offers classes seven days a week, from 5:15 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.. The gym provides membership options for in-person small group training, as well as both in-person and virtual personal training.
For Liza Duddy, an accomplished endurance athlete who has completed 17 marathons and several ultramarathons, the move represents a return to a familiar area. She began her coaching career right next door at The Fieldhouse at 31 Union Avenue, where she worked for four years before coaching independently.
To mark the occasion, Duddy Performance invites community members to a Grand Opening event to celebrate the new space:
When: Friday, April 10, from 5-8 p.m.
What: A ribbon-cutting party featuring pizza, salad, and cookies.
Activities: Attendees of all ages are welcome to tour the new facility, meet the coaching staff, and learn more about the gym’s training programs.
