Barrecore and Boom Cycle owner suddenly shuts studios
Common Bond has emailed customers announcing its locations were closed "until further notice".
The fitness company Common Bond, which owns high-end exercise studios Barrecore, Boom Cycle, and Kobox, has abruptly closed all its locations in London. The firm, described as a wellness collective, charges £2,400 for 12 months of unlimited classes. It also operates Reformcore and Triyoga brands. Common Bond had ten sites as recently as August last year, but its website is no longer accessible.
A customer email announced the closures, expressing regret for the inconvenience caused. Instructors reported being unaware of the studio closures and facing delayed payments. Ben Allen, a director, left the company last month, and Gaspar Lipszyc, the only currently listed director, is a Belgian national residing in Spain. Barrecore specializes in barre, a low-impact exercise combining pilates, ballet, and yoga, which has gained popularity in recent years.
