A popular gym is to close after decades – all because its lease in a prominent Westfield could not be secured.
Fitness First has been operating for 20 years on the sixth floor of the Westfield Bondi Junction shopping center in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.
Members were informed by email last week that the Bondi Platinum facility would close later this year.
“Unfortunately, after 20 years of dedicated service to the community, it is with deep sadness that we write to inform you of the imminent closure of our Fitness First Platinum gym, at Westfield Bondi Junction later this year,” the email read.
‘We were hoping to get a new location within the center to build a new premium gym.
‘However, we were disappointed to learn at the end of last week that we had not been successful in our tender.
“Rest assured that we are providing all necessary support to our team during this difficult period.”
The well-known gym chain was still negotiating with Westfield when they would close their doors, and members will be contacted as soon as the day is confirmed. yahoo reported.
Although Bondi locals still have another Fitness First Platinum in the Spring Street area, it is much smaller than the soon-to-close Westfield gym.
Fitness First has an impressive 37 gyms in Sydney, 12 in Melbourne and two in Canberra.
