After nearly four decades, an area gym will be closing its doors.
In a letter to members that was published on the gym’s Facebook page, the owners of E-Town Swim and Fitness Center announced that the facility will be closing on December 31.
The letter says that over the past six years ownership has worked to maintain “affordable, family-friendly, all-inclusive fitness experiences.” The owners cited shifting dynamics in the fitness industry that were due largely to the COVID-19 pandemic which resulted in rising costs that in turn resulted in an unsustainable business model.
The letter states: “We are looking forward to the exciting changes as our community grows and the possibilities that present itself for the future of the land that has been E-Town Swim and Fitness Center for the last 37 years. Our family will be forever grateful for our friends, employees, and faithful members.”
The gym’s website states that the current owners, the Thomas and Yates families, purchased the facility in 2018.
