News: Fit out for vacant Rotherham gym
A vacant former gym building in Rotherham is being brought back to life with a planned new use.
i-Motion Gym in Parkgate closed in 2023 when management said that a combination of factors, including the COVID pandemic and the energy crisis, "had made the business books difficult to navigate."
Rothbiz previously reported in 2018 that a deal for the operating company was secured after administrators were called in after the firm struggled in the challenging environment for low cost gym operators.
Since closing, the 12,266 sq ft Unit 10 at Stoddart Way, Foundry Retail Park, has been advertised to let with the agents, Knight Frank, explaining: "The unit has most recently been used as a gym but can be stripped out / refurbished to suit the requirements of an incoming occupier."
After clarifying that the unit could used for retail use, The Salvation Army has begun work to create another of its large donation centres.

The Salvation Army is a Christian church and charity established to fight poverty, homelessness and modern slavery. The new Rotherham operation is from Salvation Army Trading Company Ltd (SATCoL), the trading arm of The Salvation Army.
SATCoL actively encourages the reuse and recycling of donated clothing and other household items through over 250 charity shops and donation centres, and a nationwide network of thousands of clothing banks.
With the support of the British public and over 7,000 volunteers, SATCoL has donated millions of pounds to The Salvation Army to help its work with vulnerable people in the UK - over £100m has been donated in the last twelve years alone.
Combining shopping and donations, SATCoL's large centres are designed as an open-format donation drop-off point which engage shoppers and donors with the donation process as they can see "behind the scenes." The large stores also have convenient parking and have proved popular in the towns and cities across the UK.
Community events and initiatives are expected to form a core part of the donation centre.
