Disappearance of Haywards Heath Gym/health club...

[Pavilionaire]

A colleague of mine who lives in Haywards Heath was telling me of an alleged scam whereby a gym was set up, loads of equipment hired to give the appearance it was fully-functioning, loads of membership fees were collected upfront then - bang, the operation disappeared overnight.

Can anyone confirm this happened and, if so, the name of the place and what was the outcome?

yes it was where the auction house used to be on Perrymount road opposite Clair hall.

How long was it going for? Do you know anyone who joined?

having a look for more details now. I think the place may have gone bankrupt very soon after opening rather than be a scam. My parents live up that area and remember it happening .. cant have been more than 5 years ago

Much appreciated SJ. I'm interested cos I've got a client dealing with a Haywards Heath based leisure company and I hope they're not one and the same.

Was it called the Station?

Isn't that a pub?

It was open just over a year was called the Train Station and the director put in charge did a runner and it closed overnight. This was about 5 - 6 years ago.

The director was called Mark ( his surname i forget) prior to being a director of the Train Station he was a personal trainer at the health/squash club next to Hanbury Park stadium. I believe that health club is also no longer open

It was at least 10 years ago, it was closed before I started 6th form.
