The New York Sports Club, parent company of Around the Clock Fitness, notified the state in a letter dated July 1 that its three Florida locations would close. The last day for the chain’s 108 workers is August 31, 2024. The clubs are located in Lee County on Six Mile Cypress Pkwy, Boy Scout Drive, and in Cape Coral on Ceitus Terrace. 9375 6 Mile Cypress Parkway – 34 employees 1755 Boy Scout Drive – 37 employees 1140 Ceitus Terrace – 37 employees Crunch Fitness to take over two locations A letter to employees noted, “The Six Mile and Boy Scout fitness club locations have been sold to a buyer, Crunch Fitness, and all employees at these clubs will be impacted due to the sale of the business. The Cape Coral club is being closed without a buyer.” Employees must apply for jobs with the new company. While employment is not guaranteed, workers should know whether they’ve been hired before the switch. The two locations will reopen as Crunch Fitness on September 1, 2024. WINK News contacted NYSC to ask about the closings, what they mean for members, and whether the company will close other locations around the country. The Company did not respond, but a letter to members stated, “Crunch will not be making any changes to your account. Your membership will remain the same at this time. There are no changes to your scheduled billing date.” On its website, NYSC touts that it “was founded in New York City in 1973 as Town Squash Inc. What began as an opportunity to bring the popular sport of squash to the New York masses exploded into a network of full-service fitness clubs across seven states and two countries.” Now it looks like that NYSC will have to revise its website to say six states.
