Fitness studio by day, wine bar at night coming to Tucson
A unique gathering spot is in the works for Tucson’s north side.
Siblings Bryan Hanks and Stephanie Lee, both lifelong musicians, bought an old office space at 2585 N. First Ave. and have recently gutted the interior for a new fitness studio and café by day and music and wine bar by night.
Hanks said he and his sister came up with the idea after joining a yoga studio for stress relief after big life changes. While they enjoyed the yoga, there was no opportunity to socialize or interact after the class ended.
“We thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool if there was a space where you could hang out after and share a coffee?’” he said. “A place for building community.”
Called Four Walls, the business will offer yoga, floor pilates, cardio and meditation classes and a coffee bar from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Then at 7 p.m. it will be transformed to a live music venue with local artists and a beer and wine bar.

They bought the 5,000-square-foot building, just south of Glenn Street, for $450,000 and expect to spend about that much on the remodel.
They are aiming to have Four Walls open in the spring.
