A Kiss Gyms spokesperson said: “It is with regret that we inform you our gym at Paramount Building, Princes St, Swindon, will close this Sunday 26th Nov 2023 at 5pm pending new ownership.

“We had hoped this would be seamless, but unfortunately this has not been possible, so the gym will remain closed until we have an update from the landlord.

“Our aim is to run out any paid for time with the next operator, we will be writing to you to confirm this ASAP.”

The email confirmed that it was just the Swindon location that would be closing with Kiss Gyms also owning facilities elsewhere in the country.

Members were also told that direct debits had been cancelled in preparation for the company’s departure.

“For now, we have cancelled your direct debit, but would ask that you ALSO cancel your direct debit yourself with your bank, to be certain we haven't missed anyone,” continued the spokesperson.

“We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your loyalty, we've had great delight serving you from Paramount Building, since 2012, and wish you our very best, and warmest regards on your onwards fitness journey. With huge thanks. Team KISS x.”

The Swindon Kiss Gyms closed unexpectedly earlier this month on Friday, November 10 at 10pm and stayed shut until 7am on Sunday, November 12. 

An email sent out to members added: "Due to unforeseen circumstances, we're very sorry to tell you that we are needing to close Kiss Gyms for this period.

"Other than during Covid, this is the first time in 12 years we have had to close from our normal 24/7/365 operations.

"Please bear with us during this time and we're extremely sorry for this inconvenience."

The permanent closure comes at the same time as a new gym arrives in the town with JD Gyms set to move into the former B&M building on Ocotal Way.
