"You'll see guys from the Raiders, you'll see the gals from the Aces, you're going to see everybody at every level of fitness there is. It's going to create a community and experience that you've never seen in fitness before," Wahlberg said.
As for his new restaurant location, Wahlberg couldn't be more excited.
"We're here in Town Square, this restaurant really caters to locals. So, 80% of our customers are locals, which is amazing because the word-of-mouth has spread so much. Obviously, the restaurant is so successful because of the experience that our wonderful chefs and operators are providing, but being part of the community is really something special," Wahlberg said.

However, his grand opening wasn't without issues. The actor's Las Vegas location had a scare on Oct. 6 after the restaurant caught on fire, one day before it was set to open.
"The Clark County Fire Department (CCFD) responded to a report of a fireplace on fire that had spread to the patio area of the business located at 6638 S. Las Vegas Blvd.," the CCFD confirmed to Fox News Digital at the time.

"Crews arrived to find a standalone restaurant with a fire on the patio, sprinklers had activated, and occupants had already evacuated. The fire was determined to be confined to a single propane fire table… CCFD personnel were able to… knock down the fire so that the propane tanks could be shut off," the statement read.

Flecha Cantina restaurant officials told Fox News Digital that a "defective fire pit" caught fire at the bottom. "The fire sprinkler company came back out and recharged the system," officials added.
The Mexican restaurant opened 7its doors again at 7 p.m. after the fire was put out.
"The only damage was the fire pit and the chair next to it," Flecha Cantina officials said. There wasn’t any damage inside the restaurant and no one was injured.
