'Competitive pressures force closure' of David Barton Gym
US fitness chain David Barton Gym has been forced to shut some of its operations due to market pressures.
Club Ventures, which runs eight of the chic gyms, issued a statement today (Wednesday 21 December), saying it had closed all of its operations in New York, Boston, Miami, Chicago, and Bellevue, Washington.
However, facilities in Los Angeles and Las Vegas and the Island Club and Spa in Honolulu will remain open. These locations are owned by a separate legal entity, Meridian Sports Club.
The statement added: “The company deeply regrets this final action, but due to severe competitive pressures, particularly in New York, it has become impossible for these locations to continue. David Barton Gym greatly appreciates the past patronage of its clients and support of its staff and training professionals.”
Fitness guru David Barton opened his first gym in 1992 in New York. After expanding the brand nationally, Barton left the company in 2013.
