When the Gym Goes MIA: A Sudden Shutdown Leaves Members in a Daze
What Happened?
- Two fitness studios—Kyklos Studio and its sister brand X Fitness—shut abruptly last week, leaving customers, instructors, and the owner all disconnected.
- The websites and social media pages vanished without a formal announcement.
- Owner Atlas Ang, 31, has gone silent; even the Straits Times couldn’t get a word from him.
Clients in a Cuddle
Customers who paid between SG$200 and SG$600 for workout packages are scrambling for answers.
One woman spent SG$300 in August on a 20‑class deal after a trial class. “I’ve signed up at other studios before; this is a first,” she said. “I’m left stunned that they just vanished.”
Where Did the Studio Go?
- GR.iD mall, Dhoby Ghaut
- Tekka Place, Serangoon
- Hougang Sports Hall (via the now‑offline X Fitness website)
Outsiders Struggling
Freelance trainers hired by the studios can’t reach Mr Ang. A friend who tried a class on September 13 discovered the studio was locked.
Legal & Business Layer
Police have received multiple reports and are investigating.
Mr Ang’s corporate web‑console:
- Director of four sports‑training companies: ACSG 1, Kyklos, X+ and XSC 1.
- Addresses range from Punggol to Dhoby Ghaut, and even a spot near Chinatown.
- Also fronts an ad firm, Hong Creatives—though a receptionist said Mr Ang “will be back soon.”
Wrap‑Up
In short, a popular fitness hub has gone quiet, leaving fans, trainers, and partners in a tight spot. The mystery of the owner’s disappearance and the fate of those payments are still unfolding. Stay tuned for updates—our gym‑hungry community deserves a clear headline, after all.
