It has been a long and strenuous road to transform the Westmont Theater, but the historic landmark has finally opened its doors once again. This time as a 24-hour Planet Fitness. PHL17's Lauren Berman takes a look back at the theater's rich history and it's $3 million renovation.

Planet Fitness signs now up on the side marquees. Box office gone. One step closer to something new and another side step to preserving something old, sort of.

The new marquee letters are up. We're told the company adhered to the 1947/48 lighting specifications on the size and color hue(s) when designing them. It's a small victory for the exterior.

Hi everyone, sorry for the long pause in posting. We haven't heard much of anything since our post in August, when we learned that the Westmont was going the route of a fitness club. If anyone's heard anything new, either from the township or the county. Please let us know. We'll look into it.

Today is a sad day for some. For others, it's a day of new opportunities. Either way, this signifies the end of an era. The last vaudeville motion picture palace in Camden County, New Jersey will at one point be no more.
