Blink Fitness to shut down Philadelphia locations following bankruptcy filing

Blink Fitness has announced that it will be closing its two Philadelphia gyms on August 30. These locations were the only ones in Pennsylvania for the chain. The decision to close the gyms comes as Blink Fitness filed for bankruptcy, stating that they have $280 million in debt. The closures will impact members in the Wissinoming and South Philly areas, with the company citing financial difficulties as the reason for the closures. Members will need to find alternative gyms once the locations shut down at the end of August.
