THE REVIEW 9781-2nd St., Sidney B.C.

The licensing of a second gym in Sidney was the third and
final blow for Sidney Fitness. The company closed its doors
Aug. 23 for the final time.

By GLENN WERKMAN
Review Staff Writer

Members not paying bills, a lack of interest among Sidney
residents and a business licence for another gym are the three
reasons for last week's closure, owner Michael Cringan said.

“The reason we shut it down is, basically, there's not
enough support in Sidney,’’ Michael Cringan said. ‘‘And —
there were lots of people owing us money. for lengths of:

‘time.’

Cringan also blames the Town of Sidney for licencing a se-
cond gym when.one gym couldn’t make it. J.D.’s Fit Stop
opened on Fourth Street last week.

‘*Why on earth would they allow them to come back inte
Sidney? They didn’t make us go out of business. They just
shut down our dreams of going ahead,"? Cringan said.

“The city hurt us by giving a business licence to another
gym.’

Aug. 23 was the last day :about 120 gym members and
about 70 tanning-session members could use the facilities at
2558 Bevan Avenue.

But Cringan says he’s not-running out on anyone. ‘‘We
took care of every one of our.members. Not one person was
left high and dry.”’

All paid memberships will be honored at Keating Fitness
Centre on Kirkpatrick Crescent in Central Saanich.

**] don’t think we were bad at all for doing what we're do-
ing,’’ he said. ‘‘We shut the doors and walked away but we
took care of our members.’’

About 300 paid members were required for Sidney Fitness
to stay in. business,. Cringan-‘said. Plans to. merge with the
Hotel Sidney and build a larger facility, complete with squash -:
courts, have been erased with the closure, he said. -

“We lost a lot of money,’’. Cringan said. ‘‘We don't want

: people to be negative towards: us because we did the best we
could do. ©

“We lost a year of our lives;:and our life savings.”
Sidney Fitness’ first opened in the. Beacon. Plaza in
September 1987. It moved to the. Bevan Avenue location,

_ overlooking the Sidney government wharf, in June:

‘*We had one of the nicest little gyms in the nicest location |

~for-a gym in B.C.’ tid said. “Our place should have work-

ed.’?.

But Cringan said two gyms could not work in n Sidney. Sy

don’ t think this other guy’s going to make it either. It’s‘not

_, the overhead that killed us. It’s the lack of interest.’’
