This is not an announcement we wanted nor expected to have to ever make but we have to announce that Australian Muscle The Gym will be closing it’s doors. This is not a decision that was made lightly after making this space our own for now the past 13 Years.
One week ago, our landlord informed us that our lease will not be renewed as they wish to acquire the building for their own purposes. After a week of contemplating this shock announcement we have come to the conclusion that we cannot move the facility to a new location, reasons being time and financial constraints let alone trying to find a suitable building.
After surviving many industry changes, corporate mega gyms opening on our footsteps, pandemics, forced closures, the downfall of Australian Muscle The Gym is a simple lease renewal. The property is wished to be used for other purposes other than our gym so we are now left without a home.
As of today (Monday 19th May), we cannot provide as closure date as this is still being negotiated with the landlord.
Memberships
We are still working on this. This was not a planned or orchestrated event so we don’t have all the answers at this point in time. We are working on backdating upfront memberships to the past few months and organising a pro rata refund on these. If you have signed up in the past 2 weeks, we will issue you a full refund of these amounts.
Direct Debits (should you wish to continue) will proceed as normal until an official closure date as which they will cease a minimum of 2 weeks prior to this date. You will be able to continue training up until this point. Should you wish to cancel your memberships now we understand and will cancel them as of the date of request with no further payments taken.
