A shocking Florida company has just filed a WARN notification with the state’s Department of Economic Opportunity, announcing closures and layoffs.
To make sure that individuals impacted by layoffs of 50 or more employees can get state and municipal aid, businesses are required to submit prior notice under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act.
Adding to the list of Florida companies warning of impending layoffs is New York Sports Club.
Informing the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity of three closures, New York Sports Club has filed a WARN warning.
Consequently, 108 workers will lose their jobs.
Here are the locations of the affected gyms, which were previously called Around the Clock Fitness:
These locations are in Fort Myers: 9375 Six Mile Cypress Parkway, 1755 Boy Scout Drive, and 1140 Ceitus Terrace in Cape Coral.
August 31 will be the last day of operations for these locations before the closures take effect.
Regrettably, this decision will result in the fitness chain losing all of its sites in Florida.

When it was a publicly traded business in September 2020, Town Sports International filed for bankruptcy, and NYSC was one of the brands it owned.
In December 2020, investors purchased the company out of bankruptcy, allowing it to resurface as a private enterprise.
While the COVID-19 pandemic was in full swing, the firm was the subject of lawsuits filed by the attorneys general of both New York and Washington, DC, alleging that Town Sports International should have stopped charging dues when the pandemic ordered the temporary closure of its clubs.
