The Jubilee Hall Gym in Covent Garden, operated by a charitable trust for over 46 years, faces potential sale, raising concerns among its users about losing an affordable community resource. The gym's closure would particularly impact those who value its inclusive vibe and sense of community. An online petition has gathered over 1,300 signatures opposing the sale. In December, the gym was designated as an Asset of Community Value, granting locals a six-month right to organize and possibly purchase it. Users gathered to strategize and discuss future actions.
Noreen Rahman, a gym user, expressed the sense of community found at Jubilee Hall Gym, saying it fostered a more respectful atmosphere compared to typical gyms.
The gym's designation as an Asset of Community Value allows locals a six-month period to potentially raise funds to keep the facility running.
