PLEASE HELP US SAVE OUR GYM!

❤️ PLEASE HELP US SAVE OUR GYM ❤️

Yesterday we received an email that completely blindsided us — our gym is closing with immediate effect.

No warning. No conversation. Just suddenly gone.

Our kit is being withheld and some coaches still haven't been officially told and have found out they no longer have a job on social media instead.

Our gym is more than a place to exercise. It’s a community that has supported so many people through difficult times — building confidence, improving mental health, and helping people feel like they belong. It was even recently nominated as one of the Top 10 gyms in Darlington, which shows just how special it is to us all.

What makes this even more devastating is that the coaches found out through the same email as the rest of us, meaning they’ve been left without jobs overnight. Our manager is also due to have a baby in a matter of days, and has now been left facing what should be the happiest time of his life, without the security of work.

We are raising money to try and save our gym, or if that isn’t possible, to help us find a new space so this community doesn’t disappear.

If you can donate — even a small amount — it truly helps. If you can’t donate, please share this page. Every share matters.

Thank you for supporting our gym, our coaches, and the incredible community we’ve built ❤️
