Barrecore and Boom Cycle Owner Common Bond Suddenly Shuts Studios

Common Bond, the company behind fitness studio brands Barrecore and Boom Cycle, has abruptly shut its studios, emailing customers to announce that its locations were closed “until further notice,” according to BBC Business.

The sudden closure has left members and customers uncertain about the future of their memberships and pre-paid classes at the affected studios, though the full extent of the closures across Common Bond's locations was not detailed in the available reporting.

Uncertainty for Members

No explanation for the closures was included in the customer email as reported, leaving open questions about whether the shutdown reflects financial difficulties, restructuring, or other operational issues at the company. Common Bond has not issued a detailed public statement beyond the customer notification.

Barrecore and Boom Cycle have been established names in the UK boutique fitness sector, offering barre-based and cycling classes respectively across multiple studio locations. Sudden closures of this kind can leave customers seeking refunds or clarity on outstanding membership commitments.

It remains unclear whether the closures are temporary or permanent, and what options, if any, will be made available to affected members. Further updates from the company are expected as the situation develops.
