An Enfield gym has closed down and its equipment seized after the owner was unable to repay his debts.

Plus Fitness 24/7 Enfield closed on March 31, the same day the business owned by Shubhkarman Singh entered liquidation because of unpaid debts.

The gym’s front signage and its equipment – valued at $25,000 according to a declaration signed by Mr Singh – were promptly removed.

Liquidator Tarquin Koch said he instructed Pickles Auctions to secure and remove the company’s plant and equipment, which will be sold in a public auction at a date still to be determined.

Viva Leisure chief operating officer Sean Hodges confirmed the gym had permanently closed.

“All affected members have been contacted directly and provided options to continue their fitness journey at nearby Plus Fitness locations,” he said.

“Plus Fitness remains committed to expanding our footprint across South Australia and continuing to deliver high-quality fitness experiences to our members nationwide.”

The declaration signed by Mr Singh said he owed $11,000 in personal loans, in addition to unpaid taxes, utilities bills and money to suppliers of goods or services.

The Enfield gym’s Facebook page has been disabled.
