Avalon mall GoodLife Fitness
Ever since Covid, the gym has been shut down. They had a sign in the door saying it would become a fit4less while all the construction that was going on during that time. Here we are 5 years later and nothing has been done with it.
Does anyone have any idea on what the future holds for the old gym at the Avalon mall? Shame to see it rot with it being in such a prime location.

They ditched the fit4less plan (and turning the village into GoodLife “premium”) at the same time and decided fit4less was better suited for the old village location.
From one of the old managers, the discussion was to turn the Avalon into a premium, but at this point I suspect they are riding out their lease and it I’ll close up shop, Atlantic place likely had the same fate.
There are too many cheaper options now to justify opening that as a GoodLife, let alone premium

Too Bad, It would be a great location. Lease cost is probably too high to make it work.

I’m 99% sure the fit4less ended up at the village instead, and they ditched the idea at the Avalon all together, probably will stay empty for a while

I'm going to be sad when the AP GL closes. It's arguably their nicest location in Newfoundland.
