Gymophobics site enters administration
The ladies only Gymophobics health club in Huddersfield has closed its doors after entering administration.
The club's owners, which operated the club on a franchise basis, had experienced severe difficulties in maintaining membership sales.
Vantis Business Recovery Services has been appointed administrator of the business and members have been sent letters advising them that they are entitled to transfer part of their membership to another branch or to a similar, neighbouring gym, énergie Fitness.
David Broadbent client partner at Vantis, said: "All seven employees had unfortunately been made redundant prior to our appointment. The business has ceased to trade and we are now in the process of securing and realising all assets for the benefit of creditors and stakeholders."
The Gymophobics brand is owned by Richard and Donna Hubbard and there are currently more than 40 franchised clubs operating in the UK. The other Gymophobics branches are unaffected by the Huddersfield closure.
