Lady of America Fitness Center in Jupiter closes unexpectedly

JUPITER, Fla. – Members of  “Lady of America” Fitness Center in Jupiter showed up to the gym Monday, only to find the gym was shut down.

Gym management left a note on the door, saying the gym closed due to “circumstances beyond control.”

The property management company says it was not aware the business was going to shut down.

Officials say they were approached by a group of women Monday morning, and found the doors to the gym were left unlocked. Witnesses say the fitness equipment was removed in large moving trucks Sunday afternoon.

“Lady of America” corporate officials say they weren’t aware the gym’s owner, Carol Jacoby, was going to shut down the gym. They say she mentioned recently that she wanted to sell the gym, but didn’t say anything about leaving the business so abruptly.

The company says it will be sending out letters and emails within the next few days to the gym’s several hundred members, informing them of what they can do next. Officials say they will make sure the customers are taken care of, and don’t lose out on membership costs.
