31st JANUARY WE WILL CLOSE

With the opening of the newly refurbished Parringdon, now Body Factory, our business has become unviable due to the loss in trade.

Along with the new David Lloyd that has opened in Harlow, there are simply too many gyms in a small catchment area to run the business successfully.

Body Factory is a superb facility. It has a great reputation and the new refurbishment is simply stunning.

This new gym is an asset to Harlow as a Town and to the community. We wish this independently run gym all the best for the future and hope you will all support it above the big chain gyms that have popped up all over the country.

What's next?

Our last day of trading will be on Saturday 31st January 2026.

All Direct Debits have been cancelled as of today. You will still be able to train upto and including the last day 31st January.

Anyone with a 3, 6 or 12 month paid in full membership who will have unused membership after 31st January 2026, please email [email protected] with your name and contact details so we can arrange to pay a credit into your chosen bank account for the unused membership.

We would like to thank all our customers for their support over the last 18 years.

We don't intend to just close the doors without a proper goodbye, so we'll organise a farwewell party with a DJ and food etc for Saturday 31st. All welcome.

It's obviously emotional so we'll catch up with people, in person, over the coming days.

Today I'll have my say. 

Some vanished without a word.
One erased 16 years with a text.
Others whispered, plotted, lied and fed on gossip.

One even celebrated people leaving the gym, calling it a “sinking ship.”

That “sinking ship” is Elvis’ legacy.

Maybe to them, Ripped is just a gym.

Ripped Gym has never been just a gym to me or for many others. It's seen people when they were broken and without hope, it's been a place of sanctuary, a place of growth,  a happy place where people can switch off the outside noise, it's been a place where soul mates have met, marriage proposals have been made, business' started and flourished, it's seen tears of sadness and tears of joy. A place of acceptance without judgement. It's watched boys grow into men and girls into women. It's been an integral part of so many people's lives. 

For me, it was my everything. My proudest moment, my darkest day, my work, my home, my journey, my healing… and a piece of Elvis I could still hold onto.

What you mistook for silence was restraint.

What you called weakness was me choosing dignity.

I saw everything. I remember everything, and I no longer carry what was never mine to hold.

Hear this clearly.

I’ve survived hells you wouldn’t last a day in.

I am not broken, I am forged.

I am stronger than your cruelty, your cowardice, and your games.

While you rot in the same cycles, gossiping, cheating, lying and burning relationships to the ground, I will live in love and thrive in peace

Ten years from now, you’ll still be exactly who you are and I’ll be living a life you could never touch.

You didn’t destroy me.

*YOU MADE ME UNSTOPPABLE*
