The Shoppes of Bay Isles complex was buzzing with activity Jan. 22 as both Reed Medical Group and Longboat Key Fitness cut the ribbons for their new, expanded facilities.
Dr. James Reed said it had been an eventful past few years as the concierge medical service managed several moves initially prompted by the 2024 hurricanes. Now, he sees the plaza shared with Publix as its long-term home.
He especially appreciates the proximity to Longboat Key Fitness, which he said will be a boon to their physical therapy programs.
Owner Petar Sibinkic hopes the personal training studio will be perfectly poised to help residents stay active with its new equipment and services.
Petar Sibinkic, owner of Longboat Key Fitness, said at the Jan. 22 reopening that he looks forward to serving more community members with the expanded space and new equipment the personal training studio has to offer.
