Flye Fit, Coolock burnt down in arson attack!!!

RiseToMe

Just to update, they came back and refunded me when I mentioned that I would do a charge back instead.

**** it

Regrettably we are still waiting for more information and a detailed
assessment of the internal
and structural damage caused by the arson attack on FLYEfit gym in Coolock.

There have been some unanticipated complications and the assessment is still
ongoing.
Consequently we will be refunding all Coolock members over the next couple
of days.

Coolock members will automatically receive a pro rata refund of any advance
membership fees
paid up to the date of the attack including a full refund of the €25
joining fee.

Coolock members will continue to enjoy free roaming membership in all other
FLYE gyms up
until 26th Aug. After this date all Coolock memberships will be
automatically cancelled.

You are very welcome to join any of our other six gyms in the Dublin area.
(Swords, Georges St, South Circular Road, Macken St, Baggot St, Ranelagh).

FLYEfit Group apologises to all our members for any inconvenience caused and
we thank you
for the kind comments and positive expressions of support that followed the
attack on the gym.
We will of course keep you updated on the proceedings re Coolock as they
occur.

Warm regards,
The FLYEfit team

I see the whole front has been totally renovated now.

They'll probably sublet the unit now.

It's a dark day when scum can dictate to a community what it can and can not have.

Just seen there today, FF has a twenty year lease on that place!.

I wonder how you get out of that one now!.

Most commercial leases will have a clause stating that the rent is suspended in the case of fire. If the building isn't restored within a prescribed period, the parties can forfeit the lease.

But that will only be the case if the landlord doesn't make the repairs in time. But there may be other ways out.
The internal repairs will be the FF's obligation and wouldn't affect the lease.

The lease on Coolock is €170,000 per year (on a twenty year lease), I'd imagine the LL's are anxious to get a business back in there and earning them money.

I'm not sure how the inside is looking, but the outside has been totally renovated.

Every couple of days I get annoyed it's again. Absolute scum operating the rival gyms and coffee shops.

Anyway I think they're all registered as different entities - individual companies.
So Technically 'Coolock Ltd' or whatever could be wound down. Legitimate circumstances too.

You'll probably find the equipment was leased and so that only painful thing to walk away from would be that amazing fitout.

Again, Scumbags. Absolute scumbags.

I'd love to see it reopen one day, I'd happily pay an extra €10 a month for them to have security or whatever in place. Just to show we won't bow down to the Scumbags. Absolute scumbags.

20 year lease :eek:
That's a bit silly on their behalf. Left themselves really exposed if thats the case. A shorter term with multiple options would have made a lot more sense. Especially given how often gyms close down.

They might be, but the debts don't just end with the company. The directors would be liable if the LL wanted to recoup losses. It would only apply to the other FF gyms if they had same directors

It's on the Property Price Register....or rather you can get to it via the Commercial Lease Register section on it which links through to the PSRA site.

As above. :eek:
Hope they a favourible break clause.
Wasn't doubting you btw, just pointing out that they were horribly exposed with that.

Oh I never thought for a moment you were, tbh I've no idea how these things work (ie leases, clauses etc).

The tenants are responsible for the insurance inside but landlord responsible for the actual building itself. I'd imagine landlord knows he may be refused fire insurance in future..
My guess is landlord will be happy to see the back of them.

I'm wondering about that one too

Any updates on this?

Have a feeling that it won't be opening but part of me is holding out in hope.

It was so convenient for me (as for others I'm sure).

I wasn't using it myself but I hate to see a thug getting their own way like this.

I wouldn't hold my breath.

I'm back in BD's, Northwood now. The weights are not half as plentiful as FF in Coolock but the trade off for me is the pool in Northwood.

Email received yesterday evening:

Dear miamee,

Just a short mail to let you know that following a review of the structural damage to the premises in Coolock a decision has been taken not to re-open.

We would like to thank you for your support and we greatly appreciate the kind wishes from our all our members and from the wider Coolock Community.

Warm regards,

The FLYEfit team

Is this fit4less?

I've seen it advertised on Facebook but wasn't sure where it was going. Any idea of when it will open?

Buckfast W

I'm not to sure here's the link but it doesn't give any information.

I live in Belmayne and pass by it everyday so I'll keep my eyes peeled.

On a side note there's also a new gym opening in Clongriffin, apparently they were fitting the air conditioning the other week so it should be open soon.

I live next to the tesco so should spot it when it opens. Where is the one in clongriffin? Do you know what company is opening that one?

Dunno what company yet.
As far as I know its going into one of the buildings down beside the train station. Where the shopping centre is (supposed to be).

I seen the news in today's Indo. Structural damage my ass.

A real shame that the cops find themselves powerless in dealing with these bastards. A massive loss for the area and a very dangerous precedence.
