27 Apr 2023 David Lloyd closes its standalone Blaze studio BY Tom Walker |
David Lloyd has closed its only standalone Blaze studio in Birmingham and moved members to nearby David Lloyd clubs which have club-in-club Blaze studios. It's likely the move marks the end – at least for now – of plans to roll out Blaze as a standalone brand, as announced in November 2019. The company will continue to offer Blaze within David Lloyd clubs. The closure is seen as a rationalisation as the brand consolidates its operations to build profitability following pandemic disruption.
