This is some sad news. But don’t worry the Gym is staying a gym ❤️
This business wasn’t something I originally planned on keeping—I saw it as an opportunity and bought it for someone else to run. But over time, it became so much more. It’s been built on blood, sweat, and tears—but most importantly, it’s given me incredible memories and friendships I’ll keep for life.
The gym is not failing—far from it. It’s actually doing unbelievably well in terms of revenue, and the business valuation genuinely surprised me. That’s not the reason I’m selling.
The real reason is my career. My passion requires a huge amount of time and dedication. I’m a very hands-on person, and it’s now taking me abroad, which makes it impossible to give this gym what it deserves.
This is incredibly hard for me. I love this gym, the members, and the atmosphere. I wanted to give you all a proper heads-up rather than dropping this on you last minute.
I’ve made it clear in the contracts that whoever buys the business must keep it as a gym and retain the current staff. Otherwise, I won’t sell. I won’t take this place—or anyone’s jobs—away. Money doesn’t buy my loyalty.
Without going on too much, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for supporting Only Gyms Fitness—I appreciate every single one of you.
Kind regards Kareem
