I sure do hope there’s a refund on membership fees because according to sources, Madonna may be closing down the Hard Candy Fitness Gym she opened in Mexico City recently. The club she launched this week is in danger of being shut down because it lacks a security plan and a land use permit, local authorities said Wednesday. Officials from the singer’s Hard Candy Fitness have until Friday to get a land use permit, though they will be allowed to turn in other necessary documents later, claimed authorities where the gym is located.
It they don’t have a land use permit they will not be able to operate. Sodi told the Spanish language station televisa. Sodi said the gym also needs to present a certificate showing it has parking too. He said that when he was told last week that the gym would open Monday they didn’t have any permits, but he granted a special permit for the inauguration. Madonna was in Mexico City Monday night for the ribbon cutting and taught dance class for twenty hand picked members with music but could it be for the last time?
Madonna said in a statement last week that she wanted to use Mexico as a place to fine tune our brand and then expand it to other countries and in long term develop a global brand that includes the United States. Although there is a membership fee to join the clubs wherever they might be, they are considered much less than many other clubs around the world. She spoke on the permits and everything the authorities claimed she needed. The gym cost almost two hundred dollars and that is considered to be reasonable.
However, some people don’t really think so and they think her using the land is definitely a waste of time.
Well, I hope this gets resolved fast, else the Hard Candy Fitness Gym might be wrapped up prematurely.
