(1) Created in 1996, LA Fitness is the trading name of LA Leisure Ltd. The company trades from 80 clubs in the UK and Ireland, 33 of which (not including 49 Hallam Street) have been earmarked for sale as part of a restructuring plan. (Source: www.lafitness.co.uk 24/04/2013). LA Fitness entered into a CVA on the 24th March 2014 and the lease for this property was classified as a category 1 lease. The only affect on the CVA is that rent will now be payable on a monthly basis and the lease cannot be forfeited as a consequence of the CVA.
