Brighton: A gym in the heart of the city is shutting down, and it’s caught everyone off guard. Fitness First, located on Queen’s Road, will close its doors for good tomorrow, January 28.

Members had been hearing whispers about the closure for days, but no one expected it to happen so suddenly. An email sent to members confirmed the news, stating that despite efforts to negotiate with the landlord, the gym had to close due to circumstances beyond their control.

The email expressed gratitude for the support from the community over the years. It also mentioned that refunds for monthly memberships would be processed automatically, while those with prepaid memberships should reach out for partial refunds.

Members are encouraged to collect any personal belongings before the closure. The gym has been a staple in the community for over a decade, and many regulars are feeling the loss deeply.

One member shared how the gym fostered a strong community spirit, with people from all walks of life coming together. The sudden closure is a huge blow, especially since many rely on the gym for both physical and mental well-being.

Another member voiced concerns about the impact on the older demographic that frequented the gym, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a supportive environment. The gym’s location next to the railway station made it accessible, and its closure leaves a significant gap in the local fitness scene.

It’s a tough time for everyone involved, and the community is left wondering what’s next for their fitness journey.
