Baltimore Fitness Group Files Bankruptcy, Closes Half of F45 Locations

Baltimore, MD, August 27, 2026 — A fitness group based in Baltimore has filed for bankruptcy, leading to the closure of approximately half of its F45 franchise locations. The specific name of the operating group was not provided in available information.

The filing indicates a significant operational and financial challenge for the entity responsible for running these F45 studios. F45 Training is a global fitness franchisor known for its functional training workouts. While F45 Training itself is a larger corporation, individual franchise owners operate their respective gyms.

The extent of the closures, described as half of the group’s F45 gyms, suggests a substantial reduction in its footprint within the Baltimore area. The exact number of gyms operated by this group prior to the closures was not specified. Similarly, the timeline for these closures and the bankruptcy filing remains unclear.

Reasons behind the bankruptcy and subsequent gym closures have not been disclosed. Factors that typically contribute to such situations for fitness businesses can include increased operating costs, declining membership, market competition, or broader economic pressures. However, no specific causes have been attributed to this particular Baltimore fitness group.

The bankruptcy proceedings will likely involve a process to address the group’s debts and assets. What this means for former members of the closed F45 locations, including the status of any pre-paid memberships or contracts, has not been detailed. The financial implications and the next steps in the bankruptcy process are also not yet public.

Representatives for the fitness group or F45 Training corporate headquarters have not released further statements regarding the matter. Information regarding the number of employees affected by these closures was also not provided.
