More than 1,000 customers are understood to be locked out of Golds gym at Riverports entertainment and leisure complex in southeast Richmond.

Gym bosses called all 10 staff members on Sunday night, informing them not to come into work on Monday as the facility would be closed.

One staff member, who asked not to be named, said theyd heard rumours that the gym was losing money and that other businesses, such as trampolining firm Extreme Air Park and Planet Lazer, were moving into the building.

Its not known if the gyms members are on the hook for their already paid memberships.

When the News called Golds, a security guard who answered said hed no idea where to direct staff or customers.

A call to Golds Vancouver gym was then directed to an accountant who asked for questions to be sent via email. No one has answered the questions.
