Barrecore and Boom Cycle owner suddenly shuts studios
Common Bond has emailed customers announcing its locations were closed "until further notice".
Common Bond, a wellness collective offering high-end exercise classes through Barrecore, Boom Cycle, and Kobox, has abruptly shut down all its studios in London. The company informed customers via email on Wednesday, stating that all its locations are closed until further notice. Barrecore, a brand specializing in barre workouts, charges £2,400 for unlimited classes over a 12-month period.
The firm also operates Reformcore and Triyoga brands. A spokesperson for Common Bond apologized for the inconvenience caused and expressed understanding of the frustration faced by customers and instructors. Instructors reported being informed of delayed payments on the day they were due, on 14 August. Common Bond was incorporated in June last year, and its most recent filings show its director, Ben Allen, having left the role last month.
The only currently listed director is Gaspar Lipszyc, a Belgian national residing in Spain. Barre, the fitness discipline associated with Barrecore, is a low-impact exercise that combines elements of Pilates, ballet, and yoga.
