MT. LEBANON, Pa. — Mount Lebanon health studio Mecka Fitness is taking its brand and CrossFit gym companion into a second location in the Strip District.

The fitness venture announced that it has reached a deal for a new 10,000-square-foot space at 2908 Smallman Street, a building facing redevelopment by the new ownership of an affiliate of downtown-based Penrose Advisors LLC.

Mecka owner Kevin Beamon, a one-time Pittsburgh Business Times employee, said the move is based upon his sense of the demand generated by client requests.
