24 Hour Fitness Closing 3 Locations In Austin Area

AUSTIN, TX — The national gym chain 24 Hour Fitness has filed for bankruptcy and is closing more than 100 locations, including three in the Austin area.

“If it were not for COVID-19 and its devastating effects, we would not be filing for Chapter 11,” CEO Tony Ueber said in a prepared statement. “We expect to have substantial financing with a path to restructuring our balance sheet and operations to ensure a resilient future.”

Despite the forced closures, 24 Hour Fitness said Monday in its Chapter 11 filings that it has secured $250 million in funding to support the reopening of its other locations by the end of June. Those locations had been closed for months because of coronavirus-related shutdowns.

The sites slated for closure in the Austin area are:

• Lake Creek, 13802 N. Hwy 183, Austin, TX 78750.
• Parmer Sport, 12400 N Interstate 35 service road southbound, Austin, TX 78753
• Round Rock, 1208 N Interstate 35, Suite 300, Round Rock, TX 78681.
