Albuquerque gym closes days after people pay for memberships

Their [FB page] paints a very different picture of what happened:

Dear Friends, eVOLV began with a mission to improve physical and mental fitness through personal relationships. Over the past three years, we overcame numerous obstacles and never sacrificed our vision. Recently, we organized a board to assist in purchasing and building of a three million dollar premier facility. Our hope was to stay in the current location until its completion in late 2016. Unfortunately, last week, another tenant came forward and signed a multi-year lease for our location. Our only option was to raise an exorbitant amount of money to prepay several months of rent. As a small business, we could not meet the financial and time constraints. The staff and board met to outline immediate next steps: First, all automatic membership payments have been canceled. Any prepaid memberships will be extended. Any annual memberships recently renewed have been refunded. Second, we are finalizing contracts with other gyms today so that your fitness needs will be met this month. Starting Monday, April 6, 2015, we are offering classes at: Yoga Classes La Bella Salon, 10126 Coors Blvd NW, Albuquerque, NM 87114, 899-5557 Group Fitness Classes Jewish Community Center (JCC), 5520 Wyoming Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87109, 332-0565 We will post daily updates through Facebook for class times. Third, we are in search of a two year lease location that can meet our needs quickly. We need approximately 10,000 sq. ft. Two years will give us the time to achieve our ultimate goal of building a 25,000 square foot premier facility with all the bells and whistles. For membership questions and refunds, contact Christine at [email protected]. Our sincerest apologizes for this inconvenience. We will endure. Sincerely, Sincerely, Curt Chavez Shalini Shanker Managing Partner Board President
